They Make Us Dangerous

(Bolivia 1964-1980)

By: Frances R. Payne, PhD

THEY MAKE US DANGEROUS is a firsthand account of events in Bolivia from 1964 to 1980. When teaching as a Dominican nun in a Midwest parish school, Sister Ruth is asked to make a radical change. This eventually leads to doctoral research in Bolivia and the opening of a missionary house in La Paz. When Sister Ruth arrives in La Paz, she encounters shocking poverty but is instantly drawn to this mesmerizing and enchanting country. The Catholic Church is in the middle of profound changes, self-criticism and deep division within its ranks. Politics in Bolivia will bring deepen the divide between the liberal and conservative clergy. The country is also poised on the brink of radical change because Washington is waging a Cold War and Bolivia is about to become one of its battlefields. Through revolution and oppression, the new missionaries learn more than they imagined about the daily struggles and the political reality of this South American country. US foreign policy, driven by the interests of transnational corporations corrupts a succession of governments. The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have a stranglehold on Bolivia’s economy and the austerity measures they force on the government translate into more poverty and unrest. But the military boot crushes dissent. Close friends and students become victims. Silence is not an option. The first part of the memoir follows the sisters as they teach, research, organize and most of all learn. The second part is a personal account of Sister Ruth’s life under the Banzer dictatorship and Bolivia’s convulsive return to democratic rule. The addendum to the book summarizes and updates events in Bolivia since 1980.

A Neolithic and Bronze Age Landscape in Northamptonshire

The Raunds area project Volume 2

By: Jan Harding,Frances Healy

The Raunds Area Project investigated more than 20 Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in the Nene Valley. From c 5000 BC to the early 1st millennium cal BC a succession of ritual mounds and burial mounds were built as settlement along the valley sides increased and woodland was cleared. Starting as a regular stopping-place for flint knapping and domestic tasks, first the Long Mound, and then Long Barrow, the north part of the Turf Mound and the Avenue were built in the 5th millennium BC. With the addition of the Long Enclosure, the Causewayed Ring Ditch, and the Southern Enclosure, there was a chain of five or six diverse monuments stretched along the river bank by c 3000 cal BC. Later, a timber platform, the Riverside Structure, was built and the focus of ceremonial activity shifted to the Cotton 'Henge', two concentric ditches on the occupied valley side. From c 2200 cal BC monument building accelerated and included the Segmented Ditch Circle and at least 20 round barrows, almost all containing burials, at first inhumations, then cremations down to c 1000 cal BC, by which time two overlapping systems of paddocks and droveways had been laid out. Finally, the terrace began to be settled when these had gone out of use, in the early 1st millennium cal BC. This second volume of the Raunds Area Project, published as a CD, comprises the detailed reports on the environmental archaeology, artefact studies, geophysics and chronology.
