Beschreibung

After the end of Civil War in 1865, more than four million slaves were set free. There were several efforts to record the remembrances of the living former slaves. The Federal Writers' Project was one such project by the United States federal government to support writers during the Great Depression by asking them to interview and record the myriad stories and experiences of slavery of former slaves. The resulting collection preserved hundreds of life stories from 17 US states that would otherwise have been lost in din of modernity and America's eagerness to deliberately forget the blot on its recent past. This edition brings to you the complete collection of first hand experiences and voices from the past that makes one question whether is it safe to forget or keep the memories alive for bigger battles ahead. A must read for everyone who is interested in US History, race relations and authentic historical research.  Contents: Alabama Arkansas Florida Georgia Indiana Kansas Kentucky Maryland Mississippi Missouri North Carolina Ohio Oklahoma South Carolina Tennessee Texas Virginia

    In the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, the Soviet Union emerged as a bold experiment in socialist governance. The promise of equality, worker empowerment, and rapid industrial advancement stirred hope among the masses, particularly in a country long plagued by aristocratic rule and widespread poverty. Following Vladimir Lenin’s death in 1924, the Soviet Union stood at a crossroads. Competing visions of the nation's future vied for dominance, but it was Joseph Stalin who would seize the reins of power and chart a course that would forever change the fate of the Soviet people. 
    Stalin was not initially seen as Lenin's most likely successor. Quiet and often underestimated, he used his position as General Secretary to quietly build alliances, marginalize rivals, and install loyalists in key positions. Through political maneuvering and calculated ruthlessness, he eliminated opposition, including figures like Leon Trotsky, who posed significant ideological challenges to his authority. By the end of the 1920s, Stalin had effectively become the uncontested leader of the Soviet Union. 
    With Stalin’s rise came a dramatic shift in the nation’s priorities. While Lenin’s New Economic Policy had allowed for a degree of private enterprise and economic flexibility, Stalin viewed such policies as a betrayal of Marxist principles. He replaced them with a command economy, aiming to accelerate industrialization and bring agriculture under state control. This transition was not merely economic—it was deeply ideological. Stalin envisioned a centralized Soviet state capable of projecting power, crushing resistance, and transforming society through sheer force of will.

    The masochistic Lady Bridgette Donahue is Doctor Damian Thatch's favorite patient, but since she is a married woman he must contain his passions when with her. Desiring a partner without limitations, Damian frequents Madame Q's nunnery, a high-end London brothel which provides the services of dolly mops for gentlemen with sadistic tastes. A dolly mop is a girl in domestic service, such as a maid or a nanny, who in order to earn a little extra money beyond her regular employment chooses to become a prostitute. Unlike a full time brothel worker who cannot afford to be left in a condition which might render her unable to entertain gentlemen for a few days, a dolly mop can easily keep marks hidden in her regular job and take the time to recover before returning to brothel work. 
    Yet in spite of the liberties he is able to take with prostitutes, Damian’s arousal and subsequent release with them is never as grand as when he is with the submissive Lady Bridgette. Purchasing pleasures deprives Damian of the authenticity his sadism requires. 
    But when Damian notices that a new dolly mop is actually Rosie, his own parlor maid, he realizes that he may have found a potential solution to his frustration. When he confronts Rosie she chooses to take the option of being trained to satisfy his desires rather than face immediate termination of employment. Now Damian will turn Rosie into his ideal submissive, subjecting her to bondage, birching, and a variety of sex acts including performing with Lady Bridgette.

    Something basic is missing in our culture. Americans know it. Nothing much works as it should. Simple daily choices seem impossible, or fraught with peril. In the workplace, we walk on eggshells. Big projects get stalled in years of review. Endemic social problems such as homelessness become, well, more endemic. 
     
     
     
    Everyday Freedom offers a radical reinterpretation of the corrosion of American culture. The assault on authority after the 1960s, aimed at enhancing freedom, instead created a plague of powerlessness. The teacher in the classroom, the principal in a school, the nurse in the hospital, the official in Washington, the parent on a field trip . . . all have their hands tied. Things don't work, and Americans have lost the freedom to be themselves. 
     
     
     
    Everyday Freedom offers a radical vision for change: Re-empower Americans in their everyday choices. The massive legal structures erected since the 1960s were based on flawed notions that human judgment could be replaced by elaborate dictates. These failed structures must be replaced with simpler frameworks activated by human responsibility and accountability. Nothing will work sensibly until Americans are free to draw on their skills, intuitions, and values when confronting daily challenges. This is the only cure to alienation. This is also the only way to deliver good government.
