Synopsis

Maritime Heritage unveils the often-overlooked maritime history of Africa, asserting its central role in global maritime heritage rather than a peripheral one. The book challenges Eurocentric narratives by exploring ancient African shipbuilding traditions and extensive pre-colonial trade networks. It highlights the ingenuity of African societies in crafting vessels suited to various environments and reveals how these networks facilitated the exchange of goods, ideas, and cultural practices, reshaping our understanding of early technological innovation. A key insight is the significant contribution of African sailors in global exploration, often overshadowed in mainstream historical accounts. 

 
The book is structured into three major sections, beginning with African Shipbuilding Traditions, then Maritime Trade Networks, and finally African Sailors in Global Exploration. It uses a range of sources, including archaeological findings and oral histories, to give voice to African experiences. 

 
By adopting an Afrocentric perspective, Maritime Heritage challenges prevailing biases and promotes a more inclusive understanding of world history, emphasizing the need to critically examine power dynamics that have shaped historical narratives and offering a more nuanced and accurate account of the past.

    An Amazon Best Non-Fiction Book of 2022'Essential reading' - The Guardian'Sharp and witty with moments of startling candour' - The i'Makes a powerful case' - Rt Hon Lady Hale‘Revealing and beautifully written’ - David Harewood________Before Jeffrey Boakye was a black teacher, he was a black student. Which means he has spent a lifetime navigating places of learning that are white by default. Since training to teach, he has often been the only black teacher at school. At times seen as a role model, at others a source of curiosity, Boakye’s is a journey of exploration – from the outside looking in.In the groundbreaking I Heard What You Said, he recounts how it feels to be on the margins of the British education system. As a black, male teacher – an English teacher who has had to teach problematic texts – his very existence is a provocation to the status quo, giving him a unique perspective on the UK’s classrooms.Through a series of eye-opening encounters based on the often challenging and sometimes outrageous things people have said to him or about him, Boakye reflects on what he has found out about the habits, presumptions, silences and distortions that black students and teachers experience, and which underpin British education.Thought-provoking, witty and completely unafraid, I Heard What You Said is a timely exploration of how we can dismantle racism in the classroom and do better by all our students.________'Hugely important' - Baroness Lawrence'Deeply compelling, intellectually rigorous and essential' - Nels Abbey'Personal and political, profound and playful' - Darren Chetty'Written with passion, fury, knowledge and, in spite of the painful subject, wit' - Patrice Lawrence

  • The Legends of the West Point Class of 1846 - cover

    The Legends of the West Point...

    West Point has long been America’s most famous military academy, but in the early 19th century, it was a highly unimpressive school consisting of a few ugly buildings facing a desolate, barren parade ground. Established with just five officers and ten cadets of the Corps of Engineers on March 16, 1802, the Academy was built on a spot just 50 miles north of New York City which had been a key Hudson River military fortress during the Revolutionary War. Cadets attending during the “Point's” first several decades were obliged to maintain their daily regimen knowing the school might shut down at any moment, as the U. S. government frequently questioned why it should provide free education. 
    As it turned out, West Point would become the foremost military academy in the nation, but none of the West Point classes became as famous as the Class of 1846, which boasted more than a dozen future Civil War generals. The Class of 1846 included a shy kid named Thomas Jonathan Jackson who made few friends and struggled with his studies, finishing 17th in his class 15 years before becoming Stonewall. Also in that class was A.P. Hill, who was already in love with the future wife of George McClellan, a young prodigy who finished second in the class of 1846. A popular and mischievous George Pickett would play hooky at the local bar and struggle just to finish last in the class, and the Class of 1846 also churned out critical Union generals like Jesse Reno, Darius Couch, and George Stoneman. 
    Before these men opposed each other on Civil War battlefields, they forged their own friendships and charted their future paths together at West Point and the Mexican-American War.

    [How to Recognize Toxic Marriages] pierces through the subtle, insidious nature of marital toxicity with haunting precision and lyrical insight. Like a masterful cartographer mapping unexplored territory, this intimate examination charts the invisible boundaries that slowly constrict within toxic relationships - from the initial silence that settles like dust between two people, to the gradual erosion of self-worth that occurs so slowly you barely notice it happening. Written with unflinching honesty and profound psychological depth, the book illuminates the quiet ways love transforms into a weapon, how shared spaces become battlegrounds, and the sophisticated machinery of control that operates just beneath the surface of everyday interactions. Through its careful dissection of the language of distance, the manipulation of reality, and the weaponization of intimacy, this work serves as both a warning signal and a validation for those caught in the bewildering maze of toxic marriages, offering a vocabulary for experiences that often defy articulation.

    Moonlight bathes the mountain shrine. Wind howls across the desert landscape. 
    Finn enters the ruined structure, limbs weak and eyes glazed. Images of foul, perverse acts adorn the walls. A stone altar awaits a sacrifice. 
    A dark force calls this place home. The time has come to receive its blessing. 
    But a price must be paid. 
    Absolute devotion. Absolute subjugation. 
    Finn strips nude and falls to his knees. 
    The ritual begins.
