Sinopse

"Cultural Archives" explores how civilizations document their existence, profoundly shaping our understanding of past societies. It examines diverse methods of heritage preservation, highlighting elements cultures deemed worthy of recording and the impact of these historical records on modern society. The book argues that a collective analysis of deliberate and inadvertent records provides a more accurate view of a culture's values than any single narrative. For example, ancient Egypt's meticulous record-keeping, from hieroglyphic inscriptions to elaborate burial rituals, offers invaluable insights into their religious beliefs and social hierarchy. The book journeys across continents and millennia, beginning with ancient civilizations and progressing to the digital age. It unfolds in three sections: introducing the concept of cultural archives, examining case studies from various cultures like the Roman Empire and pre-Columbian America, and analyzing how these historical records shape our understanding of those societies today. By drawing on archaeological findings, ancient texts, and ethnographic studies, "Cultural Archives" emphasizes the value of cultural documentation in preserving collective memory and promoting cross-cultural understanding, making it vital for anyone interested in history world.

    During the first World War, over a million Armenians were killed as Ottoman Turks embarked on a bloody campaign of ethnic cleansing. Scholars have long described these massacres as genocide, one of Hitler's prime inspirations for the Holocaust, yet the United States did not officially recognize the Armenian Genocide until 2021. 
     
     
     
    This is the first book to examine how and why the United States refused to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide until the early 2020s. Although the American government expressed sympathy towards the plight of the Armenians in the 1910s and 1920s, historian Julien Zarifian explores how, from the 1960s, a set of geopolitical and institutional factors soon led the United States to adopt a policy of genocide nonrecognition which it would cling to for over fifty years, through Republican and Democratic administrations alike. He describes the forces on each side of this issue: activists from the US Armenian diaspora and their allies, challenging Cold War statesmen worried about alienating NATO ally Turkey and dealing with a widespread American reluctance to directly confront the horrors of the past. Drawing from congressional records, rare newspapers, and interviews with lobbyists and decision-makers, he reveals how genocide recognition became such a complex, politically sensitive issue.

    History of the Jews - A Concise...

    Jewish history is a rich tapestry woven over millennia, shaped by the development of a people, their religion, and their culture as they interacted with various civilizations, faiths, and cultures. The earliest reference to Israel can be found on the Merneptah Stele, dated to between 1213–1203 BCE, marking the first historical mention of the ancient Israelite people. However, the religious and cultural narrative of the Jews stretches far earlier. Jewish tradition traces its origins to at least 1500 BCE, with religious texts such as the Torah recounting the story of the Israelites, beginning with the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This historical foundation laid the groundwork for the development of Judaism, which began to emerge as a distinct religion during the Hellenistic period, particularly around 323–31 BCE, as Greek scholars began documenting Jewish practices and beliefs. 
    The trajectory of Jewish history has been marked by a series of dispersals and captivities, with the first significant one being the Assyrian exile of the ten northern tribes in 722 BCE. This event set the stage for a larger dispersion that was solidified with the Babylonian captivity in 586 BCE, when the Jewish elite were taken into exile. Following the Babylonian conquest, Jews began to settle throughout the ancient Near East, which would later become a defining characteristic of Jewish existence. The Jewish people continued to spread across the Mediterranean world, particularly within the vast expanse of the Roman Empire, where they maintained distinct cultural and religious practices even as they interacted with surrounding civilizations. This trend persisted throughout Byzantine rule in the eastern Mediterranean, although the influence of Jewish communities diminished in these regions after the Byzantine Empire lost control of the Levant to the Arab Islamic Empire in 638 CE.

    The way we treat money is a mirror reflection of how we treat ourselves. 
    We give so much of our power away to the feelings inspired by money and our relationship with it. It’s time to redirect that power… to move from feeling disempowered to empowered… from not good enough to more than good enough… from unworthy to deserving. 
    We need to look at money through a trauma-informed lens. We need to distil the little traumas and the big traumas from our unconscious mind, from our belief systems, in order to change our perception of money to one of empowerment. 
    This book will help you do that. 
    It’s not about the money: 3 Steps to Becoming A Wealthy Woman guides us through the journey from Financial Insecurity to Financial Freedom through the lens of financial trauma and the emotions of money. 
    Catherine Morgan shares stories, inspiring thoughts, practical steps and powerful exercises, distilled through the lens of financial past, financial present and financial future in order to equip you to manage your money, mind and the behaviours that have prevented you from having more money, keeping hold of it and growing it.
