Sinopse

In "The Egypt of the Hebrews and Herodotos," A. H. Sayce delves into the intricate tapestry of ancient Egyptian civilization as it intersected with Hebrew history and Greek historiography. Employing a comparative analysis that interweaves archaeological findings with textual criticism, Sayce achieves a compelling synthesis of the social, religious, and political contexts that shaped both cultures. His meticulous attention to Herodotus's accounts sheds light on how ancient Egyptians influenced and were influenced by the Hebrews, demonstrating a nuanced understanding of cultural exchange in the ancient world. A. H. Sayce was a prominent Assyriologist and Egyptologist who dedicated his career to unraveling the complexities of ancient Near Eastern civilizations. His scholarly pursuits were fueled by a passion for integrating historical texts with archaeological evidence, underscoring the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to history. Sayce's background and expertise in philology and ancient languages equipped him with a unique lens through which to examine the ties between Hebrew and Egyptian cultures, enriching his narrative with verifiable historical insights. This book is an essential read for scholars and enthusiasts of ancient history alike. Sayce's rigorous scholarship invites readers to reassess preconceived notions about the interactions between these two cultures, enriching our understanding of their legacies. With its clear prose and depth of research, "The Egypt of the Hebrews and Herodotos" stands as a significant contribution to both Egyptology and biblical studies.

    A new concept for understanding the history of the American popular music industry. 
     
     
      
    Blacksound explores the sonic history of blackface minstrelsy and the racial foundations of American musical culture from the early 1800s through the turn of the twentieth century. With this namesake book, Matthew D. Morrison develops the concept of "Blacksound" to uncover how the popular music industry and popular entertainment in general in the United States arose out of slavery and blackface. 
     
     
      
    Blacksound as an idea is not the music or sounds produced by Black Americans but instead the material and fleeting remnants of their sounds and performances that have been co-opted and amalgamated into popular music. Morrison unpacks the relationship between performance, racial identity, and intellectual property to reveal how blackface minstrelsy scripts became absorbed into commercial entertainment through an unequal system of intellectual property and copyright laws. By introducing this foundational new concept in musicology, Blacksound highlights what is politically at stake—for creators and audiences alike—in revisiting the long history of American popular music.

    Black women continue to have a complex and convoluted relationship with their hair. 
     
     
     
    From grammar and high schools to corporate boardrooms and military squadrons, Black and Afro Latina natural hair continues to confound, transfix, and enrage members of White American society. Why, in 2022, is this still the case? Why have we not moved beyond that perennial racist emblem? And why are women so disproportionately affected? 
     
     
     
    Why does our hair become most palatable when it capitulates, and has been subjugated, to resemble Caucasian features as closely as possible? Who or what is responsible for the web of supervision and surveillance of our hair? Who in our society gets to author the prevailing constitution of professional appearance? 
     
      
     
    Particularly relevant during this time of emboldened White supremacy, racism, and provocative othering, this work explores how writing about one of the still-remaining systemic biases in schools, academia, and corporate America might lead to greater understanding and respect.

    From the start, the War on Drugs targeted Black, Brown, and Indigenous Americans already disadvantaged by a system stacked against them. Even now, as white Americans who largely escaped the fire capitalize on the legalization movement and a booming cannabis industry, their less fortunate peers continue to suffer the consequences of the systemic racism in policing and failed drug policy that fueled the original crisis. In Waiting to Inhale, Akwasi Owusu-Bempah and Tahira Rehmatullah issue a powerful call for a racial reckoning and provide a roadmap to redress this deep and abiding injustice. 
     
     
     
    Waiting to Inhale illuminates the stories of those on the front lines of the War on Drugs. As attitudes toward cannabis are shifting, now is the opportune time, Owusu-Bempah and Rehmatullah submit, to expunge cannabis convictions and make a place in the burgeoning legal cannabis market for Black and other underrepresented groups who have borne the brunt of harsh cannabis laws. 
     
     
     
    A powerful indictment of one of the worst social and political failures in the nation's history, Waiting to Inhale offers an equally powerful vision of the possibility of redemption. Communities can be rebuilt, and racist policies must be overturned in order to give way to a new era of justice

    Moses Maimonides - A Very Short...

    This Very Short Introduction to Moses Maimonides surveys his many intellectual, literary, and professional ventures. Born in Islamic Cordoba, he ultimately settled in Cairo, where he served as jurist and civic leader and a highly esteemed physician with responsibilities at the Fatimid and Ayyubid courts, even as he deepened his philosophical-theological pursuits. He moved seamlessly between specialized, private, and public Jewish and Muslim spheres. 
     
    His written works traverse multiple disciplines, employ several literary genres, and address various elite and popular audiences. This book organizes Maimonides's thinking and writings thematically and puts his works into dialogue with one another. It proposes that the key to engaging Maimonides on his own terms is to understand he applied a rationalist's regimen characteristic of his scientific research and practice of medicine to all of his life's work: he observed and studied a problem, diagnosed it, and then prescribed a remedy for it whether the concern was physical, metaphysical, spiritual, intellectual, or social in nature.His Arabic and Hebrew contributions to each of his fields of inquiry were translated and disseminated far and wide and found a prominent place among religious and scientific intellectuals in the Latin West and throughout the Jewish and Islamic worlds.
