International water targets and national realities in Sub-Saharan Africa
This article considers how to reconcile ambitious UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for universal piped water supplies with developing country realities in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). A concise process for effective reviews of medium-term national targets is proposed and is applied in an analysis of the current provision of piped water to households and shared community facilities in urban and rural settings in Uganda. Different disciplinary …
Une histoire du Liban
Une histoire magistrale du Liban (1860-2009), petit état stratégique du Proche-Orient, au coeur de bataille du maelström israélo-arabe, par David Hirst, l'un des meilleurs connaisseurs de la région. Le Liban, magnifique « petit pays » du Proche-Orient, est depuis ses origines traversé par des crises récurrentes, une longue et terrible guerre civile suivie de conflits sporadiques. Le pari du communautarisme fait lors de sa création rend le pays se…
Recording the many faces of death at the Denbigh Asylum, 1848–1938
The funeral was a symbolic event in Welsh society, and members of staff and relatives of patients at the Denbigh Asylum shared cultural assumptions about the importance of a final resting place for the body. Formal procedures following the death of a patient were governed by asylum rules and regulations. At Denbigh the asylum chaplain played an important role, both in terms of ministering to the dying and in performing the funeral ceremony. Durin…

Lunacy and the `Islands in the British Seas
In the mid-nineteenth century the Dependent Territories of Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man all had small, relatively stable populations, many of whom did not speak English as their first language. The response of each to the public asylum movement was very different. Guernsey had an asylum by 1852, but Jersey and the Isle of Man opened permanent asylums only in 1868. This comparative study examines the interactions between British government…
‘A ticklish sort of affair’
In June 1846 complaints about the treatment of a Welsh clergyman at the privately run Haydock Lodge Asylum in England heralded a series of allegations about maltreatment of pauper patients at the institution. These prompted a number of Parliamentary reports on the institution. Allegations were also made about connections between the asylum and officials at the Poor Law Commission. This article demonstrates that many of the problems at Haydock Lod…
Service utilization in 1896 and 1996
The 1896 and 1996 populations of North-West Wales are similar in number, ethnic and social mix and rurality, enabling a study of the comparative prevalence of service utilization, as well as the morbidity and mortality associated with mental illness in 1894–96 and 1996. The 1996 data reveal a 15 times greater prevalence of admissions for all diagnoses, and three times greater prevalence of admissions by detention, compared with 1896. Patients now…
Family, Community and the 'Idiot' in Mid-nineteenth Century North Wales
In mid-nineteenth century north Wales, and indeed in Wales generally, 'community care' of persons with learning disabilities aided by the Poor Law survived longer than in England, where institutionalisation in the workhouse or asylum became the norm. This prehistory of community care has been largely unexplored, largely because of the difficulties of obtaining data. After discussing the methodology, and discussing the Lunacy and Poor Law document…
The Gun and the Olive Branch Revised
The following is from the lengthy new foreword to the third edition of The Gun and the Olive Branch: The Roots of Violence in the Middle East, a classic history of the Arab-Israeli conflict originally published in 1977. The forthcoming edition, to be published in Spring 2003 by Thunder Mouth's Press/Nation Books, brings the story up to date, covering the approximately two decades since the second edition issued in 1984, which itself added three c…
South Lebanon
This article profiles the low-grade war being waged in south Lebanon's "security zone," the last hot spot of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Depopulated by war and occupation, virtually cut off from the rest of Lebanon, the narrow strip of land hosts an array of protagonists-UN observers, Israeli soldiers and their proxies, Hizballah, and even a remnant of Lebanese army and police. Caught in between, the population in this zone of moral ambiguities an…

Rush to Annexation
Soldiers of the Israeli Defence Forces, we do not aim at conquest. At 10.30 on the morning ofJune 5, 1967 General Dayan broadcast these words to an army which, with the bulk of Arab air power reduced to smoking wreckage on a dozen runways, was already assured of victory. The Israelis had begun the war with their attack on Egypt. They could get away with that. On the Jordanian front they were more careful. King Hussein was a Western prot6g&. They …
