Summary

"The Oaths, Signs, Ceremonies and Objects of the Ku-Klux-Klan" presents a revealing exploration of the secretive rituals and symbolic apparatus that underlie one of America's most notorious hate groups. Written in an exposed yet straightforward style, this document meticulously catalogues the oaths and ceremonial practices that fostered group identity and cohesion among its members. Contextually situated within the volatile post-Civil War era, the text serves as both a historical artifact and a chilling insight into the mechanisms of racism and secret societies in American culture. The work provides an unsettling yet necessary examination of how such practices are woven into the fabric of societal fears and divisions. The anonymous author's motivations can be traced to the fervent social climate of the early 20th century, marked by the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan. By bringing to light the inner workings of this organization, the author, possibly affected by the societal repercussions of Klan activities, seeks to inform the public and prompt critical engagement with racism in America. Their choice of anonymity reflects the serious risks of unveiling such secretive practices during a time of rampant violence and ideological fervor. Recommended for scholars, historians, and socially conscious readers alike, this book serves as an essential resource not only for understanding the Klan's legacy but also for recognizing the enduring issues of racism and intolerance in contemporary society. This powerful examination calls for reflection and action, urging readers to confront the shadows of history that still linger in modern times.

    The pandemic compels us to ask fundamental questions about our place in the world: the many ways humans rely on one another, how we vitally and sometimes fatally breathe the same air, share the surfaces of the earth, and exist in proximity to other porous creatures in order to live in a social world. What we require to live can also imperil our lives. How do we think from, and about, this common bind? 
     
     
     
    Judith Butler shows how COVID-19 and all its consequences—political, social, ecological, economic—have challenged us to reconsider the sense of the world that such disasters bring about. Drawing on the work of Max Scheler, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and critical feminist phenomenology, Butler illuminates the conditions in which we seek to make sense of our disorientation, precarity, and social bonds. What World Is This? offers a new account of interdependency in which touching and breathing, capacities that amid a viral outbreak can threaten life itself, challenge the boundaries of the body and selfhood. Criticizing notions of unlimited personal liberty and the killing forces of racism, sexism, and classism, this book suggests that the pandemic illuminates the potential of shared vulnerabilities as well as the injustice of pervasive inequalities.

    Witchcraft holds a continued fascination for readers around the world, and the Scottish witch hunts have recently received renewed media attention, especially with the BBC 2 show Lucy Worsley Investigates, bringing attention to Edinburgh's witches.
    
    Expert Mary Craig explores the unusual story of Agnes Finnie, a middle class shopkeeper who lived in the tenements of Edinburgh. After arrest, most witches were tried within a matter of days but not Agnes. Her unusual case took months with weeks of deliberation of the jury. Mary explains why and gives her expert insight into the political and religious tensions that led to her burning.
    
    The book will interest a variety of readers, academics and non-academics alike – those interested in witchcraft, British and Scottish history, religious studies and women's studies.
    Mary Craig works as a historian with museums, archives and schools and hosts regular, well-attended events on the subject of witchcraft in the Scottish Borders. We expect strong media coverage. The Witches of Scotland campaign has recently gained traction and the attention of first minister Nicola Sturgeon, calling for a pardon and apology to those accused during the witch hunts.

    To uncover your true self, you need to strip away your beauty. You need to become vulnerable. 
    I sat motionless while the clippers buzzed. My hair fell to the ground, carrying away my sense of pride. 
    He’s my rival. I shouldn’t trust him. 
    But it’s too late now. 
    Bald, sweaty, and naked, I kneel at his feet. He snaps photos. He posts them online. 
    I’m so grateful for this lesson. I’m ready to accept his exquisite gift.
