  A Muslim American Slave - The...

  Omar Ibn Said

  Born to a wealthy family in West Africa around 1770, Omar Ibn Said was abducted and sold into slavery in the United States, where he came to the attention of a prominent North Carolina family after filling "the walls of his room with piteous petitions to be released, all written in the Arabic language," as one local newspaper reported. Ibn Said soon became a local celebrity, and in 1831 he was asked to write his life story, producing the only known surviving American slave narrative written in Arabic. 
   
   
   
  In A Muslim American Slave, Ala Alryyes offers both a definitive translation and an authoritative edition of this singularly important work, lending new insights into the early history of Islam in America and exploring the multiple, shifting interpretations of Ibn Said's narrative by the nineteenth-century missionaries, ethnographers, and intellectuals who championed it. 
   
   
   
  This edition presents the English translation of Ibn Said's Arabic narrative, augmented by Alryyes's comprehensive introduction, contextual essays and historical commentary by leading literary critics and scholars of Islam and the African diaspora and other writings by Omar Ibn Said. The result is an invaluable addition to our understanding of writings by enslaved Americans and a timely reminder that "Islam" and "America" are not mutually exclusive terms.

  “Its theme is political fanaticism, with which it deals severely and brilliantly.” —New Yorker 
  The famous bestseller with “concise insight into what drives the mind of the fanatic and the dynamics of a mass movement” (Wall Street Journal) by the legendary San Francisco longshoreman. 
  A stevedore on the San Francisco docks in the 1940s, Eric Hoffer wrote philosophical treatises in his spare time while living in the railroad yards. The True Believer—the first and most famous of his books—was made into a bestseller when President Eisenhower cited it during one of the earliest television press conferences. 
  Called a “brilliant and original inquiry” and “a genuine contribution to our social thought” by Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., this landmark in the field of social psychology is completely relevant and essential for understanding the world today as it delivers a visionary, highly provocative look into the mind of the fanatic and a penetrating study of how an individual becomes one.

  Coercion - Forcing Someone to...

  Cito Harder

  Coercion is a fundamental aspect of human interaction, shaping behaviors, relationships, and power dynamics across societies. It is the act of compelling someone to act against their will through force, threats, or pressure. Unlike persuasion, which relies on voluntary agreement, coercion removes choice, leaving individuals with little alternative but to comply. It exists in various forms, from physical force and legal mandates to psychological and social pressures. While coercion is often viewed negatively, it is also a tool that governments, organizations, and individuals use to maintain order, enforce rules, and achieve strategic goals. Understanding the nature of coercion requires exploring its mechanisms, ethical dilemmas, and long-term effects. 
  At its core, coercion operates through a power imbalance. The coercer holds leverage over the coerced, whether through control of resources, authority, or the ability to inflict harm. This power can be direct, as in military force or legal penalties, or indirect, such as emotional manipulation or financial dependency. In many cases, coercion is subtle, embedded within societal norms and expectations. A person may comply not because they are explicitly threatened but because the consequences of refusal—ostracization, loss of opportunities, or economic hardship—are too great to bear. This makes coercion a pervasive force, influencing decisions in ways that may not always be immediately apparent.

  In the Shadow of the Rising Sun...

  Olga Henderson

  In February 1942, nine-year-old Olga Morris and her family were in Singapore when the city fell to the Japanese Imperial Army in the biggest defeat in history of the British Forces. Turned back at an evacuation ship’s gangway as the bombs fell, Olga and her parents and siblings were forced to take their chances and hide out until, captured by Japanese soldiers, they were sent on a forced march to the notorious Changi Prison. 
   
  There’s a certain stereotype of the British in Singapore in the ‘30s and early ‘40s, which Olga Morris – Henderson as she is now – definitely did not fit. Her family was not part of the privileged Raffles Hotel set, with their big houses and servants. Her father worked in construction. Olga and her siblings grew up in Johor Bahru, a diverse part of Malaya just across the causeway from Singapore, amongst children of all faiths and cultures. It was a very happy upbringing. 
   
  All that changed in 1942. Olga was playing with her guinea pigs when a British Army officer arrived to tell her parents that the family had just 30 minutes to pack and be ready for evacuation to Singapore. The Japanese were ten miles away. Olga’s mother grabbed the family photograph album and they ran… 
   
  Days later, Singapore fell. Three years of captivity followed. Three years of disease, malnutrition, deprivation and oppression in Changi and Sime Road. 
   
  Desperate for food, Olga and her friends bravely raided the vegetable plot; “dodging the searchlights” and sometimes endured severe punishments. She stood alongside the other women and children through the ordeal of Tenko in the blazing sun. Halfway through their captivity, Olga’s ten-year-old brother was put into the men’s camp, where he suffered terrible cruelty that scarred him for life. 
   
  February 2022 marked 80 years since the Fall of Singapore and Olga is now ready to tell the story of her years as a child prisoner of war. It’s a story of great fear and deprivation; of a childhood utterly lost to conflict. It’s also a story of class prejudice and unkindness that didn’t end when Olga was freed from the camp and returned to England as a refugee. 
   
  Yet moments of humour and camaraderie also live on in Olga’s memory. There were plays and imaginary tea parties and even a secret girl guide group that held clandestine meetings, where they worked on sewing a quilt.
