Langs de vuurlijn: De Verenigde Naties en gewapende conflictenDit verzamelwerk wenst een bijdrage te leveren aan het debat over gewapende confl icten en de specifi eke rol die de Verenigde Naties spelen bij het oplossen van deze confl icten. Sinds het einde van de Koude Oorlog zijn het hoofdzakelijk interne confl icten zoals in Darfoer of OostCongo die op sporadische aandacht van de internationale gemeenschap kunnen rekenen. Ondanks het feit dat de Verenigde Naties nog nooit zo veel blauwhelmen uitgestuurd

Dit verzamelwerk wenst een bijdrage te leveren aan het debat over gewapende confl icten en de specifi eke rol die de Verenigde Naties spelen bij het oplossen van deze confl icten. Sinds het einde van de Koude Oorlog zijn het hoofdzakelijk interne confl icten zoals in Darfoer of OostCongo die op sporadische aandacht van de internationale gemeenschap kunnen rekenen. Ondanks het feit dat de Verenigde Naties nog nooit zo veel blauwhelmen uitgestuurd hebben, lijken ze niet in staat om deze confl icten een halt toe te roepen. De internationale gemeenschap lijkt ook zeer selectief in haar ingrijpen. OostTimor en Kosovo kregen voldoende aandacht, maar de confl icten in de Nigerdelta of Colombia blijven onderbelicht. Het boek laat je kennismaken met 11 confl icten over de ganse wereld. Bijdragen zijn geschreven door Belgische en Nederlandse specialisten met langdurige terreinervaring. Naast door academici zijn de bijdragen ook geschreven door mensen uit de journalistiek, het middenveld en internationale organisaties. Dit boek richt zich tot iedereen die zich vragen stelt bij de talloze confl icten in de wereld en hoe de internationale gemeenschap, in het bijzonder de Verenigde Naties, daarop reageert.

Wonderful book for many reasons
Format: Paperback
I recommend this book for its story, cultural accuracy, and high interest action. First it is an exciting story of how conflicts arise and can be resolved with an exciting lacrosse game at the end. How cool is that? But the cultural and historical details make this a fascinating read for all ages. If you want to know about the lives of Native Americans in the New York area, written by a Native American, and put into an historically accurate story, this is a great read. I would recommend this as a high interest type of reader for middle school readers, one that would challenge them as well. The story could be about conflicts today, but the action is naturally more intense. If you are looking for an accurate portrait of Native American life, Bruchac is a wonderful author for you to choose. It is hard to find good books about northeastern Native Americans.

Engaging and educational
Format: Paperback
We really enjoyed this book as a family. My children were enthralled with characters and depiction of life in a Longhouse village. We supplemented this book with others about the Iroquois Nation and East Coast Native Americans for our homeschooling unit. It was a hit.

Great Story about Native Americans before Europeans
Format: Paperback
I read this book with my kids (11,8) as part of our unit on Native Americans before colonization. They both really enjoyed it. It helped to humanize history for them and show them that although the cultural practices were different, the characters experienced some of the same feelings, relationship challenges, and personal struggles and triumphs that we experience today.

Wonderful book about pre-European North America
Format: Paperback
This is a great book. There's a massive shortage of children's books written by Natives, especially ones that give a picture of pre-European America, and if you've noticed that, THIS IS THE BOOK YOU'RE LOOKING FOR to fill that hole in your home school curriculum/child's library. It's a "boy book," but my seven year old girl got through it without any complaints except that she wanted me to read ahead so I could tell her if anything scary happened. I would say that the plot is a little slow, the main story pauses a lot for background information or traditional stories. But that's not really a complaint, I don't think it's even worth taking off one star. Almost anything by Joseph Bruchac is worth your money, and this one is no exception.
