TL;DR: In this article, the author Suad Amiry crafts a "border diary" in her recently published, English-language text Nothing to Lose but Your Life: An 18-Hour Journey with Murad, discursively frames the lives of undocumented West Bank Palestinian laborers who are forced to cross the Green Line in search of work in Israel.
Abstract: Palestinian author Suad Amiry crafts a “border diary” in her recently published, English-language text Nothing to Lose but Your Life: An 18-Hour Journey with Murad. The diary discursively frames the lives of undocumented West Bank Palestinian laborers who are forced to cross the Green Line in search of work in Israel. As the economics of this geography emerge, these workers are shown to possess knowledge of an occupied land, a knowledge revealed by their tenuous negotiations of checkpoints, border patrols, and racial profiling. The diary charts the cartography of occupation in the West Bank by highlighting the modes of resistance used by subaltern West Bank workers to contest the “everydayness” of the occupation. It relies on humor as a disruptive strategy to make a political statement about occupation while providing a testimonial to its geography from the “other” side of the occupation, as articulated by the dispossessed. In so doing, Amiry provides a socially and politically committed narrative that humanizes the dehumanized, the underprivileged working-class and the poverty-stricken in their struggle for survival and dignity in the face of Israeli nationalism and Zionist expansionism in the West Bank.

TL;DR: Seward was one of the central figures in American expansion during the nineteenth century as mentioned in this paper, and the culmination of his career as an expansionist came with the purchase of Alaska in 1867.
Abstract: WITH THIS HASTILY COMPOSED BIT OF VERSE, William H. Seward succinctly expressed his conception of "American Empire." Although his ideas were not always original, Seward was one of the central figures in American expansion during the nineteenth century. The culmination of his career as an expansionist came with the purchase of Alaska in 1867. That event has thrown into the shade his equally significant espousal of "democratic imperialism" for two decades. As United States senator from 1849 until 1861, and thereafter as secretary of state, Seward helped to shape both the ideology and the actual progress of American expansion.2 Expansionism has been viewed as one of the keys to the American character. Indeed, the most important interpretation of American history, the frontier thesis of Frederick Jackson Turner, posits free land as the main source of American democracy and a unique national experience. More recently, a number of historians have seen

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the commercial advancements of the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) into the African regional media markets, focusing mostly on the SABC's Africa-oriented channels, SABC Africa and Africa2Africa, as a case study.
Abstract: This article examines the commercial advancements of the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) into the African regional media markets. In this examination, the focus is mostly on the SABC's Africa-orientated channels, SABC Africa and Africa2Africa, as a case study. The article posits that the SABC's regional commercial expansion is paradoxical in the sense that it is both advantageous and disadvantageous at the same time. At the theoretical level, the article identifies some limitations to applying theoretical and analytical frameworks such as the dependency paradigm, media and cultural imperialism in explaining regional expansionism driven by Southern-based national media organisations.
