Sinossi

African Resistance explores the diverse ways African societies confronted European colonialism during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Going beyond a simple narrative of conquest, the book highlights the strategic agency employed by African communities, from armed struggle to diplomatic maneuvers, in efforts to preserve their sovereignty and cultural identity. It examines how figures like Samori Ture and Yaa Asantewaa led resistance movements, showcasing that African responses were not monolithic but varied and resourceful. The book starts by setting the stage with an overview of the Scramble for Africa and European Imperialism, and then delves into specific instances of resistance, analyzing both military clashes and diplomatic engagements. Did you know that some African kingdoms strategically formed alliances to counter European influence? Or that the Maji Maji Rebellion, though ultimately suppressed, stands as a powerful symbol of resistance against German colonial rule? By using archival documents and oral histories, African Resistance challenges Eurocentric narratives and reclaims the voices of African peoples during this pivotal era. Ultimately, the book demonstrates that these resistance movements significantly shaped post-colonial African identities and political landscapes. African Resistance encourages readers to critically evaluate historical narratives and gain a deeper understanding of the resilience and resourcefulness of African communities.

Patriotism and Profit -...

Susan Nagel

The untold story of how America’s beloved first president, George Washington, borrowed, leveraged, and coerced his way into masterminding the key land purchase of the American era, which lead to the creation the nation’s capital city. 
Contrary to the popular historical record, Thomas Jefferson was not even a minor player at the Dinner Table Bargain, now known as the Compromise of 1790. The real protagonists of the Dinner Table Bargain were President George Washington and New York Senator Philip Schuyler, who engaged in the battle that would separate our financial capital from our political seat of power. Washington and Schuyler’s dueling ambitions provoked an intense decades-long rivalry and a protracted crusade for the location of the new empire city. Alexander Hamilton, son-in-law to Schuyler and surrogate son to George Washington, was helplessly caught in the middle. 
This invigorating narrative vividly depicts New York City when it was the nation’s seat of government. Susan Nagel captures the spirit, speech, and sensibility of the era in full and entertaining form—and readers will get to know the city’s eighteenth-century movers, shakers, and power brokers, who are as colorful and fascinating as their counterparts today. Delicious political intrigue and scandalous gossip between the three competing alpha personalities—George Washington, Philip Schuyler, and Alexander Hamilton—make this a powerful and resonant history, reminding us that our Founding Fathers were brilliant but often flawed human beings.They were avaricious, passionate, and visionary. They loved, hated, sacrificed, and aspired. Even their most vicious qualities are part of the reason why, for better or worse, the United States became the premier modern empire, born from figures carving their legacies into history.Not only the dramatic story of how America’s beloved first president George Washington created the nation’s capital city, Patriotism and Profit serves as timely exposé on issues facing America today, revealing the origins behind some of our nation’s most pressing problems. 
A bonus PDF file includes all charts, diagrams, and photographs that appear in the print edition of the book.

A Field Guide to a Happy Life -...

Massimo Pigliucci

A brilliant philosopher reimagines Stoicism for our modern age in this thought-provoking guide to a better life.For more than two thousand years, Stoicism has offered a message of resilience in the face of hardship. Little wonder, then, that it is having such a revival in our own troubled times. But there is no denying how weird it can be: Is it really the case that we shouldn't care about our work, our loved ones, or our own lives? According to the old Stoics, yes.In A Field Guide to a Happy Life, philosopher Massimo Pigliucci offers a renewed Stoicism that reflects modern science and sensibilities. Pigliucci embraces the joyful bonds of affection, the satisfactions of a job well done, and the grief that attends loss. In his hands, Stoicism isn't about feats of indifference, but about enduring pain without being overwhelmed, while enjoying pleasures without losing our heads. In short, he makes Stoicism into a philosophy all of us -- whether committed Stoics or simply seekers -- can use to live better.

Righteous Mind The: Book Summary...

Why do people on different sides of the political spectrum see the world so differently? This insightful book explores the psychological foundations of morality, revealing how our values, intuitions, and group loyalties shape our political beliefs. Drawing from psychology, anthropology, and evolutionary biology, the book argues that moral reasoning is driven more by intuition than by logic, and it challenges readers to understand—and even empathize with—opposing viewpoints. A must-read for anyone seeking to bridge political and ideological divides.
