This small book is based on the papers and discussions presented at the International Colloquium held on April 11, 2008 on the Nanterre campus of The University of Paris, where scholars and activists gathered to discuss "La guerre, la résistance, et le contre-résistance dans l'histoire contemporaine". In this short anthology, we introduce this subject by giving an historical perspective of instances of resistance and counter-resistance to wars and social struggles involving the United States ...

The current application of antibody-meditated targeted therapy against cancer has resulted in significant objective clinical responses, prolongation of survival and even cures. More than 20 mAbs have been approved for human use targeting a range of different cancers. However, a major drawback of mAb therapeutics is that a subset of patients does not initially respond and another initially responding subset develops resistance to further treatments. At the present time, there are no effective therapies for these subsets of cancer patients. The analyses of underlying mechanisms responsible for resistance are necessary to develop and generate new targeted therapies that overcome the resistance. Resistance to Immunotherapeutic Antibodies in Cancer: Strategies to Overcome Resistance is a timely volume that deals with various mechanisms of resistance to anti-cancer mAbs therapeutics as well as it deals with novel approaches to overcome resistance. The reviews in this volume are written by highly qualified, established and experienced leaders in the field of resistance to anti-cancer mAbs.

As one of the foundational texts in the field of postcolonial writing, Barbara Harlow's Resistance Literature introduced new ground in Western literary studies. Originally published in 1987 and now reissued with a new Preface by Mia Carter, this powerfully argued and controversial critique develops an approach to literature which is essentially political. Resistance Literature introduces the reader to the role of literature in the liberation movements of the developing world during the 20th Century. It considers a body of writing largely ignored in the west. Although the book is organized according to generic topics - poetry, narrative, prison memoirs - thematic topics, and the specific historical conditions that influence the cultural and political strategies of various resistance struggles, including those of Palestine, Nicaragua and South Africa, are brought to the fore. Among the questions raised are the role of women in the developing world; communication in circumstances of extreme atomization; literature versus propaganda; censorship; and the problem of adopting literary forms identified with the oppressor culture.

This volume recasts the concepts of vulnerability and resistance, moving beyond the assumptions that they are opposites. Focusing on recent events and cultural practices in Turkey, Palestine, France, and the former Yugoslavia, the essays connect vulnerability to resistance by showing how women and other minorities use their own vulnerability as resistance.
