Synopsis

In "South Carolina and Georgia: Rise and Progress of the Colonies," Alexander Hewatt offers a comprehensive examination of the early colonial experiences of South Carolina and Georgia, focusing on their socio-political developments and economic foundations. Written in a clear and engaging prose style characteristic of the 18th century, the book deftly intertwines historical narratives with geographic and demographic insights, positioning these colonies within the broader context of British imperialism. Hewatt meticulously details the interactions between European settlers and Indigenous populations, highlighting both cooperation and conflict, and provides thorough accounts of the colonies' logistical challenges and aspirations. Alexander Hewatt, a Scottish transplant to the American colonies, was profoundly influenced by his surroundings and the socio-political dynamics of early America. His personal experiences as a settler informed his observations about colonial society, providing a unique perspective that blends firsthand knowledge with historical analysis. As an observer and participant in the colonial landscape, Hewatt's insights are both rich and critical, offering readers a window into the complexities of colonial life and governance. This book is an essential read for historians and enthusiasts of early American history, as it presents a nuanced understanding of the formation of two pivotal colonies. Hewatt's work not only preserves an essential narrative of colonial America but also invites readers to consider the intricate factors that shaped their development, making it a valuable addition to the library of anyone interested in exploring the roots of American society.

    Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person. It is often considered a fundamental aspect of human connection, influencing how we relate to those around us. Whether it's offering a comforting word, understanding someone’s pain, or celebrating another's joy, empathy allows us to build meaningful relationships. It is more than just recognizing another person’s emotions; it involves feeling with them and, when appropriate, offering support. In a world where individuals often experience feelings of isolation or disconnection, empathy is a bridge that can bring people closer. 
    Empathy is not simply an emotional reaction; it is a skill that can be nurtured and developed. It plays a key role in many aspects of life, from personal relationships to professional environments. In fact, research has shown that individuals with a higher level of empathy are often better at problem-solving and conflict resolution. By understanding others' emotions, they are more likely to approach situations with sensitivity and tact, which leads to better outcomes in both personal and professional settings. 
    The science behind empathy is fascinating. Studies in neuroscience have revealed that when we experience empathy, certain areas of our brain light up, particularly the regions involved in emotional processing. This means that empathy is not just a learned behavior, but something deeply ingrained in our biological makeup. It involves both the emotional brain, which processes feelings, and the cognitive brain, which helps us interpret and understand those feelings. This dual process allows us to connect with others in a way that goes beyond intellectual understanding, allowing us to resonate with their experiences on a deeper, more personal level.

    Skater Girl Asha tells the TRUE story of how Asha, an Untouchable, broke courageously with the traditional conventions in her village and shaped her life ever since. She escaped her arranged marriage and found her passion and purpose through skateboarding. Today, Asha is a strong voice for all the girls in her village of Janwaar – and far beyond. 
    “Before the skatepark started, I was very different. I didn’t know my own voice. I couldn’t talk to anyone. I couldn’t even make eye contact with anyone. I never made any decision on my own – only my family members would decide what is good and what is bad for me. This has changed completely when the skatepark came to my village. I’ve found my voice. It is a long and bumpy road I am on – but I take it as the challenges occur!”

    What do universal rights to public goods like education mean when codified as individual, private choices? Is the "problem" of school choice actually not about better choices for all but about the competition and exclusion that choice engenders? Unsettling Choice addresses such questions through a compelling ethnography that illuminates how one path of neoliberal restructuring in the United States emerged in tandem with, and in response to, the Civil Rights movement. 
     
     
     
    Unsettling Choice traces the contestations that surfaced when, in the wake of the 2007–2009 Great Recession, public schools navigated austerity by expanding choice-based programs. Ujju Aggarwal argues that this strategy mobilized mechanisms rooted in market logics to recruit families with economic capital on their side, solidifying a public sphere that increasingly resembled the private. 
     
     
     
    As Unsettling Choice shows, these struggles over public schools were entrapped within neoliberal regimes that exceeded privatization and ensured exclusion even as they were couched in language of equity, diversity, care, and rights. This book tracks an architecture of expansive rights, care, and belonging built among poor and working-class parents at a Head Start center, whose critique of choice helps us understand how we might struggle for justice, and a public that remains to be won.
