    The article focuses on Black femme figure and fugitivity in contemporary poetry and critical lineage of Black femme poets practicing a fugitivity from the logics of white supremacist, hetero-patriarchal society. It mentions strategies of Black femme figure therein, which are illuminated via her unique standpoint and practice of fugitivity and defamiliarization of language, an interrogation of language, or an invention of new language. It also mentions hegemonic feminism and epistemic violence.

    By 2050, two-thirds of the world s population will live in cities, and the greatest growth in urban populations will take place in the least developed countries. This presents many governments with considerable challenges related to urban governance and the provision of services and opportunities to a burgeoning urban population. Among the concerns is that large youth bulges in urban centers could be a source of political instability and violence. Here, we assess this claim empirically using newly collected data on city-level urban social disorder, ranging from non-violent actions, such as demonstrations and strikes, to violent political actions, such as riots, terrorism, and armed conflict. The dataset covers 55 major cities in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa for 1960-2006. The study also utilizes a new United Nations Population Division dataset on urban populations by age and sex. The study further considers factors that could condition the effect of age structure, in particular the level of informal employment, economic growth, education, and gender imbalances. The analysis finds that large male youth bulges aged 15-24 are not generally associated with increased risks of either violent or non-violent social disturbance. Furthermore, the proxy measures of "youth exclusion" do not seem to increase the risk that large urban male youth bulges are associated with either form of disturbance. However, several other factors that may be associated with higher levels of youth exclusion - notably absence of democratic institutions, low economic growth, and low levels of secondary educational attainment - are significantly and robustly associated with increasing levels of urban social disturbance.

    The World Bank Group has identified support to fragile and conflict-affected states (FCS) as a strategic priority, critical to achieving its mission of poverty alleviation and shared prosperity. This review of International Development Association (IDA) countries establishes that the World Bank's portfolio performance in low-income FCS has improved since 2001 compared to low-income countries that are not fragile. It also ascertains that country assistance strategies have lacked tailoring to fragility and conflict drivers and realism and do not currently have contingencies based on political economy and conflict risks to adjust objectives and results if risks materialize, and that the Bank has been relatively effective in mainstreaming gender within the health and education and community-driven development portfolios, but has paid insufficient attention to conflict-related violence against women and economic empowerment of women in low-income fragile and conflict affected states. Other significant observations include the usefulness of community-driven development for short-term assistance to local communities in fragile and conflict-affected states, and that the global shift in aid flows toward fragile states has not been matched by IDA, and fragile and conflict-affected states receive less aid per capita from IDA than do other low-income countries.

    The author discusses how acts of racial violence in the U.S. and around the world contribute to community fragmentation and cultural memory. Topics covered include the movement of ideologies of violence to local and global politics, Western civilization's use of Scriptures to enslave African Americans, and community formation around alienation and rupture. Also noted is the question of how violence and communal responses to it shape the narrative content of Exodus and its storytelling.

    The Comprehensive Development Plan aims to create a sustainable development space and generate opportunities to improve the quality of life of the people of El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and south-southeast Mexico, thus making migration a choice rather than an obligation. This is an joined up response by the United Nations system, which seeks to generate synergies and coordinate actions with the countries at the centre and the support of subregional integration institutions.
