... tide Also referred to as ‘left‐of‐centre’, ‘left‐leaning’, and ‘radical social democratic’ governments in Latin America. The term first came into public discourse following the victory of Hugo Chávez in the Venezuelan presidential elections of 1998 . Subsequently, the election of governments in Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Ecuador, and Guatemala consolidated the pink tide. In terms of their regional and diplomatic policies, pink tide governments attempted to be more assertive in their response to US policy imperatives and that...

Urban Popular Movements Buoy the Turbulent Pink Tide With the democratic elections of leftist presidents in countries such as Venezuela ( 1998 ), Brazil ( 2002 ), Argentina ( 2003 ), Bolivia ( 2005 ), and Ecuador ( 2006 ), urban popular movements encountered uncharted territory—albeit terrain they had helped create. This “Pink Tide” ushered in sustained and meaningful support for Latin America’s...

Written during a break in the composition of Victory , it was finished in early January 1914 . In the course of trying to secure serialization for the tale, Pinker approached Pall Mall Magazine , whose editor recommended that the title be changed to ‘Davidson of Saigon’. In response, Conrad suggested simply ‘The Dollars’ and, as an alternative, ‘The Spoiled...

...region, better known as the “pink tide.” While relying on elements of neoliberalism to various degrees, the pink tide attempted to also incorporate policies of social inclusion, equity, and citizenship engagement. While achieving notable success at the level of socioeconomic indicators, the pink tide tended to actively marginalize the democratic demands of social movements, relying on a mixture of tactics such as co-optation, piecemeal reforms, and “divide and conquer.” The result has been the progressive erosion of the pink tide in the region, coupled with...

Halley spent another season at sea ( 1701 ), investigating the tides in the English Channel in the same vessel he had used for his Atlantic voyages. Again, the result was a chart, indicating the direction of the tides, with a formula for estimating their height according to the position of the moon. After a diplomatic appointment for recommending improvements of port fortifications in the Mediterranean ( 1702–1703 ),...

Oxford Reader’s Companion To Conrad
...The pattern of Conrad’s relationships with publisher changed in two major ways during his career. By engaging J. B. Pinker as his literary agent in 1900 , Conrad was largely released from the burden of personally marketing his fiction. But this great advantage also brought with it a set of new economic pressures, since he also lost that network of supportive relationships and financial sponsorship provided by individual publishers. With Pinker as his middle-man, he became but one writer among many in a competitive and increasingly industrialized Edwardian ...

Friedman and Tabbush ( 2018 ) pointed to advances in LGBTI issues under some pink tide governments, with some (mostly Southern Cone countries) legalizing same-sex marriage and allowing trans people to claim their own gender identity. Overall, they pointed out that the emergence of the pink tide opened up space for feminist and queer groups to articulate and press their demands. While application of such rights has been patchy within and between left-led countries,...

According to one estimate, half the women under Ming‐Qing rule had bound feet. More than a mere custom, foot‐binding became ensconced in the everyday life; it prompted a certain ambitiousness...
