Synopsis

Colonial Resistance explores how indigenous populations worldwide met the challenges of colonialism, moving beyond simple narratives of domination to reveal strategies of resistance that encompassed political negotiation, cultural preservation, and economic adaptation. The book examines how power dynamics played out in different colonial contexts and highlights the cultural resilience demonstrated by indigenous groups. For example, many groups strategically adapted their economies to maintain some level of independence. The book argues that indigenous resistance was not a uniform response but a complex, adaptive process shaped by specific historical and environmental factors. Analyzing armed conflicts, political negotiations, and cultural revitalization movements, the book demonstrates the diverse approaches taken by indigenous groups. It draws on a wide range of primary and secondary sources to support its analysis, providing a nuanced perspective on world history. Structured in three parts, the book begins by defining key concepts, then examines various resistance strategies across different regions and periods, such as the Zulu Wars, analyzing their long-term impacts. By emphasizing indigenous agency and adaptability, Colonial Resistance offers valuable insights for anyone interested in indigenous history, colonial studies, and the pursuit of social justice.

    A.J. Baime’s The Arsenal of Democracy (2014) is partly a history book about American President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who led his nation through the Great Depression only to face the threat of a looming war. It’s also a chronicle of the golden years of Detroit, which formed the center of American vehicle and war material production during World War II. Most importantly, though, it details the rise of the Ford Motor Company and the legacy of its founder Henry Ford and his son Edsel, who were torn apart over how to best serve the country and the company they loved.

    We watch the news. We see war, disease, poverty, man against man. We see billions of poor people, displaced by the power brokers. We see the super rich getting richer. Many simply see the news, they don't understand or even try to. They don't know the bigger picture, the truth about what is really happening out there. 
     
    The truth is, what happens out there, affects us all. And all of those world events are happening, not by chance, but by design. All of our lives are being affected by just a few men. Those men are members of an elite group. Their ancestors plotted and schemed just as they do today. Their goals are short and long term. 
     
    They affect all levels of society. Lawmakers and enforcers, religious and political leaders, movie makers and media moguls, industrial giants and pharmaceutical murderers. 
     
    All around the world they work. Plotting and scheming, scheming and plotting. Nobody dares to speak out against them. Most don't even know. Through clever manipulation, marketing, propaganda and force, they control the world. These are not the people you're thinking of. These are not always the politicians who are often pawns themselves. 
     
    These people are members of a long line, a golden thread through history that stretches back thousands of years and can be traced through their own bloodline.

    The Roman Emperor Aurelian -...

    Aurelian saved the Roman Empire from foreign invasion and collapse, earning him the title Restorer of the World from a grateful Senate. This is his story as restorer of the world. 
     
     
     
    The ancient Sibylline prophecies had foretold that the Roman Empire would last for 1000 years. As the time for the expected dissolution approached in the middle of the third century AD, the empire was lapsing into chaos, with seemingly interminable civil wars over the imperial succession. The western empire had seceded under a rebel emperor and the eastern empire was controlled by another usurper. Barbarians took advantage of the anarchy to kill and plunder all over the provinces. Yet within the space of just five years, the general, later emperor Aurelian had expelled all the barbarians from with the Roman frontiers, reunited the entire empire and inaugurated major reforms of the currency, pagan religion, and civil administration. 
     
     
     
    His accomplishments have been hailed by classical scholars as those of a superman, yet Aurelian himself remains little known to a wider audience. His achievements enabled the Roman Empire to survive for another two centuries, ensuring a lasting legacy of Roman civilization for the successor European states. Without Aurelian, the Dark Ages would probably have lasted centuries longer. This is a new, revised edition.
