Sinopsis

The Great Famine examines the multifaceted causes and devastating consequences of the Irish Potato Famine (1845-1849), a pivotal event in world history. It explores the confluence of environmental factors, specifically the arrival of potato blight, alongside existing socioeconomic conditions and British economic policies that transformed a localized agricultural crisis into a widespread catastrophe. The book highlights the biological vulnerability of Ireland's dependence on a single crop and the impact of British Colonialism on Irish land ownership and food distribution.

 
The narrative also traces the subsequent mass migration and its profound effects on both Ireland and the nations receiving the displaced population. The book argues that the famine was not merely a natural disaster, but a complex interplay of ecological vulnerability exacerbated by political and economic systems. By using government documents, personal letters, and research from agricultural science, The Great Famine adopts a narrative non-fiction approach to bring this history to life.

 
Structured to provide a comprehensive analysis, it begins with pre-famine conditions in Ireland, transitions to the blight's devastating effects, analyzes the British government's response, examines mass emigration, and concludes with the famine's long-term impact on Irish society and modern food security policies.

    Inhabitants of Medellín, Colombia, suffered from the war-like violence perpetrated by drug cartels and other actors in the 1980s and 1990s. Thousands died, including innocent civilians, judges, and journalists, many more were injured and suffered psychological trauma. Three decades later, however, transnational media companies such as Netflix have transformed the traumatic memories into entertainment while the main perpetrator, Pablo Escobar, became a 
    recognizable brand name. 
     
     
     
    Victimhood, Memory, and Consumerism: Profiting from Pablo documents the story of violence inflicted on Medellín, and critically examines the status of its victims. Drawing on unique empirical material, the book addresses the impact of commercial exploitation of the city's violent past on the victims of mass drug violence and on the present nature of the city. 
     
      
     
    Victimhood, Memory, and Consumerism offers a poignant critique of the role of the global market economy in the unequal distribution of narrative power among those engaged in processes of collective memory construction. A thoroughly compelling listen, this volume will appeal internationally to academics in criminology and victimology, as well as those interested in critical perspectives on Netflix, commercialism, and Colombian history.

    Abraham Lincoln's carefully crafted gettysburg address was originally meant to be secondary to other presentations that day, following on as it did from a two hour speech by the orator Edward Everett. Although Lincoln's speech was only just over two minutes long, it came to be regarded as one of the greatest speeches in American history. 
     
    "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
