Summary

The Popol Vuh is a foundational text of Maya culture and literature, often referred to as the "Book of the Council" or "Book of the Community." It is one of the most important historical sources for understanding the beliefs, mythology, and history of the Kʼicheʼ Maya people, who inhabited the highlands of present-day Guatemala.

The Popol Vuh does not have a single, identifiable author in the conventional sense. Instead, it is a product of the collective oral traditions of the Kʼicheʼ Maya.

    The Secret Listener - An Ingenue...

    Yuan-Tsung Chen

    The history of China in the twentieth century is comprised of a long series of shocks: the 1911 revolution, the civil war between the communists and the nationalists, the Japanese invasion, the revolution, the various catastrophic campaigns initiated by Chairman Mao between 1949 and 1976, its great opening to the world under Deng, and the Tiananmen Square Massacre. 
 
 
 
Yuan-tsung Chen lived through most of it, and at certain points in close proximity to the seat of communist power. Born in Shanghai in 1929, she came to know Zhou En-Lai as a young girl while living in Chongqing, where Chiang Kai-Shek's government had relocated to, during the war against Japan. That connection to Zhou helped her save her husband's life in Cultural Revolution. After the communists took power, she obtained a job in one of the culture ministries. She frequently engaged with the upper echelon of the party and was a first-hand witness to some of the purges that the regime regularly initiated. Eventually, the commissar she worked under was denounced in 1957, and she barely escaped being purged herself. Later, during Cultural Revolution, she and her husband were purged and sent to live in a rough, poor area. They finally moved to Hong Kong, with Zhou's permission, in 1971. Chen gives a first-hand account of what life was like in the period before the revolution and in Mao's China.

    Democratic socialism is a political and economic ideology that seeks to combine the principles of democracy with the goals of social welfare and economic equality. Rooted in the broader tradition of socialism, democratic socialism differentiates itself by advocating for the implementation of socialist policies through democratic means rather than authoritarian or revolutionary approaches. It envisions a society where wealth and resources are more equitably distributed, ensuring that essential services such as healthcare, education, and housing are accessible to all, regardless of socioeconomic status. 
The historical development of democratic socialism can be traced back to the 19th and early 20th centuries when socialist thinkers began to grapple with the failures and excesses of unregulated capitalism. Influenced by Karl Marx, Eduard Bernstein, and later democratic theorists, the movement sought to address economic inequality while maintaining democratic governance. This ideological blend resonated strongly in Europe, where parties such as the British Labour Party and the Social Democratic Party of Germany championed policies that merged socialist ideals with democratic frameworks. 
At its core, democratic socialism emphasizes that democracy should extend beyond the political sphere to include economic decision-making. This principle advocates for increased worker participation in corporate governance, fair labor practices, and the regulation of industries to prevent exploitation and ensure public benefit. Rather than abolishing private enterprise, democratic socialism often supports a mixed economy, combining elements of both private and public ownership to balance innovation with social responsibility.
