Sinopsis

This book reveals the intricacies of inter-civilisational relations between Northern and Southern countries and details the resultant mistreatment of Southern nations. It discusses the North’s centralizing and condescending approach that has greatly harmed both stability and peace in the modern world. Starting with the author’s own personal experience and proceeding to offer a succinct historical overview, the West’s blatant disregard for many contributions from other human civilizations - including the Arab-Islamic civilization - appear in stark contrast. Having worked in the fields of diplomacy and culture for decades, the author aims to remind this generation of Arabs of their own heritage, hitherto overshadowed by conflicts and neglect of their role in building human civilization. The author calls for building bridges instead of erecting barriers and a completely new approach to relations between the North and the South; a message which resonates globally. ‮«‬Bridges, not Barriers‮»‬ is already in circulation in Arabic, German, French, Spanish and Farsi.

    The creator of the internationally popular, multiple award-winning blog MsAfropolitan applies an Africa-centered feminist sensibility to issues of racism and sexism, challenging our illusions about oppression and liberation and daring women to embrace their power. 
     
    Sensuous Knowledge is a collection of thought provoking essays that explore questions central to how we see ourselves, our history, and our world. 
    What does it mean to be oppressed?  
    What does it mean to be liberated?  
    Why do women choose to follow authority even when they can be autonomous?  
    What is the cost of compromising one’s true self?  
    What narratives particularly subjugate women and people of African heritage?  
    What kind of narrative can heal and empower? 
    As she considers these questions, Salami offers fresh insights on key cultural issues that impact women’s lives, including power, beauty, and knowledge. She also examines larger subjects, such as Afrofuturism, radical Black feminism, and gender politics, all with a historical outlook that is also future oriented. Combining a storyteller’s narrative playfulness and a social critic’s intellectual rigor, Salami draws upon a range of traditions and ideologies, feminist theory, popular culture—including insights from Ms. Lauryn Hill, Beyoncé, Audre Lorde, Toni Morrison, and others—science, philosophy, African myths and origin stories, and her own bold personal narrative to establish a language for change and self-liberation. 
    Sensuous Knowledge inspires reflection and challenge us to formulate or own views. Using ancestral knowledge to steer us toward freedom, Salami reveals the ways that women have protested over the years in large and small ways—models that inspire and empower us to define our own sense of womanhood today. 
    In this riveting meditation, Salami ask women to break free of the prison made by ingrained male centric biases, and build a house themselves—a home that can nurture us all.

In Truth, he tells the story of how we humans have spent history lying to each other—and ourselves—about everything from business to politics to plain old geography. Along the way, he chronicles the world’s oldest customer service complaint, the Great Moon Hoax of 1835 and the surprisingly dishonest career of Benjamin Franklin.Sharp, witty and with a clear-eyed view of humanity’s checkered past, Truth reveals why people lie—and how we can cut through the bullsh*t.

    World War I is infamous for revolutionizing modern warfare as we know it. 
    It is well known that World War I was kicked off by the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The world superpowers engaged in the bloodiest conflict in history at that time, with millions of casualties on either side. World War I transformed the socio-political landscape of the early 20th century and shaped the lives of countless people for decades to come.  
    However, there is much more to World War I than Franz Ferdinand’s assassination and the clash of the Entente and Central Powers. It was a conflict deeply rooted in hateful rivalries of the world’s most powerful states and came as a somewhat logical conclusion to the endless balancing and political maneuvering of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. And it would change the course of history forever.  
    This audiobook will dive into the Great War, exploring what caused it, how it unfolded, and its short- and long-term consequences. Here are some of the things you will learn about in this audiobook:  
    The long nineteenth century and how it affected the political landscapeGermany and Italy’s unification The state of European power politics New technological advancements that shaped the war The Austro-Hungarian problem and the start of WWI Military activities in all theaters of the war
