# Brian Wilson and Jeff Beck Tour 2013

The Brian Wilson and Jeff Beck 2013 Tour was a 2013 tour starring Brian Wilson and Jeff Beck. The shows featured Wilson's former bandmates Al Jardine, David Marks and Blondie Chaplin.

## Background

Following The Beach Boys fiftieth anniversary tour, Brian Wilson, Al Jardine and David Marks decided to tour as a trio. The three played several shows in July 2013. On August 5, it was announced that Jeff Beck would accompany them for a tour in September and October, featuring Blondie Chaplin at select shows. The tour would help promote an upcoming Wilson record that featured Beck on several songs. Beck called the tour a dynamic of "classic surfing safari music and this weird stuff that I do," and promised "it will sound like it's all of one accord." Wilson remarked that Beck "brings that great guitar-player kind of thing to the picture."
"For four days," Beck later recalled, "I sat there and didn't even know Brian was in the room. He was so quiet, he never uttered a syllable. And yet they gave me these parts that allegedly he'd written. Then we were offered some shows together: 'Jeff, this is gonna be the tour of the year!' They should've got the bloody record done first, but they got excited and we ended up doing the Jeff Beck-Brian Wilson tour, prematurely."

# Poverty in North Korea

Poverty in North Korea is extensive, though reliable statistics are hard to come by due to lack of reliable research, pervasive censorship and extensive media manipulation in North Korea.
Poverty in North Korea has been widely repeated by Western media sources with the majority referring to the famine that affected the country in the mid-1990s. A 2006 report suggests that North Korea required an estimated 5.3m tonnes of grain per year while harvesting only an estimated 4.5m tonnes, and thus relies on foreign aid to overcome the deficit. Starvation continues to be a systemic problem. In 2021, there were reports of widespread starvation in North Korea.
Poverty in North Korea has also been attributed to poor governance by the government and sanctions. It is estimated that in 2020, 60% of the North Korean population were living below the poverty line.

# Vaitoti Tupa

Tupa was born on Rarotonga and educated at Avarua School and Tereora College. He later attended the University of the South Pacific, graduating with an MBA. Trained as a surveyor, he worked as a public servant in the Survey Department. In 2000 he was appointed as the director of the National Environment Services. He was reappointed to the position in 2009, but a report from the national audit office subsequently found that the reappointment decision had been unduly influenced by his mother and had been made on the basis of political interest, not merit. Disagreement over the appointment had led to a cabinet reshuffle, with the environment portfolio been removed from Kete Ioane by Prime Minister Jim Marurai and given to Ngamau Munokoa so that she could make the appointment. Despite this, he remained in the position until 2015, when he was unexpectedly not reappointed after 15 years service.
Tupa is a traditional drummer and a member of the Te Korero Maori Cultural Performing Arts Group. He has performed in France, the UK and Hawaii.
Tupa was elected to Parliament at the 2018 Cook Islands general election, defeating agriculture minister Kiriau Turepu to win the Matavera electorate. In 2019 he was the opposition's nominee for Deputy Speaker, but was defeated by Tai Tura. In February 2020 he was appointed Democratic Party spokesperson for Agriculture, Cultural Development, Finance and Economic Development. He will also share the Environment and the Cook Islands Investment Corporation portfolios with senior MPs. At the 2022 election he was the only Democrat MP on Rarotonga to retain his seat.
# Postcolonial Theory and the Specter of Capital

Postcolonial Theory and the Specter of Capital is a 2013 book by the American sociologist and New York University professor Vivek Chibber.
Drawing from the radical Enlightenment tradition, this book serves as a critique of Postcolonial Theory.
Chibber focuses on the Subaltern Studies section of the theory, and demonstrates how its foundational arguments are based on a series of political and historical misunderstandings.

## Content

In his critique of postcolonial theory, Chibber argues that postcolonial theory characterizes all Enlightenment ideas as Eurocentric. Chibber asserts that the popular Subaltern Studies project has its foundational arguments rooted in analytical and historical misinterpretations. The main focus of the text is to demonstrate the possibility of a universalizing theory without reliance on Eurocentrism or reductionism.

## Reception

Chibber's work received a mixture of positive reviews and criticism. Noam Chomsky termed the text a "scrupulous and perceptive analysis", and "a very significant contribution." According to him, Chibber has succeeded in showing that "universalizing categories of Enlightenment thought" emerge unscathed from postcolonial criticism.
Slavoj Zizek also gave it a strong positive review, calling it "the book we were all waiting for." According to Zizek, "this book simply sets the record straight, and puts postcolonialism into its place: at the heart of global Capitalist processes." Robert Brenner, American quarterly magazine Jacobin, and the Los Angeles Review of Books also gave Chibber positive reviews.
The book received criticism from Indian postcolonial theorist Gayatri Spivak in the Cambridge Review of International Affairs. Spivak asserted that Chibber may not be the best person to begin exposing the flaws of postcolonial theory. Chibber replied in the same journal, defending his choices in the original article. Chibber's publisher, Verso, would go on to publish The Debate on Postcolonial Theory and the Specter of Capital, which brought together the major critics of Chibber's work.
