Synopsis

In "The Inequality of Human Races," Arthur comte de Gobineau presents a controversial examination of racial hierarchies that posits a deterministic view on human societies. Composed in the mid-19th century, the text weaves together a combination of historical analysis, ethnography, and philosophical discourse, reflecting the emerging ideas of racial theories prevalent during that period. Gobineau's literary style is characterized by an eloquent, yet polemic tone, arguing that the supposed innate inequalities among races are foundational to the evolution of civilizations, thereby laying the groundwork for later racialist ideologies. Arthur comte de Gobineau, a French aristocrat, diplomat, and writer, was profoundly influenced by the socio-political turmoil of his time, including the upheavals of the French Revolution and rising nationalism. His extensive travels and keen observations on varying cultures enriched his perspective, leading him to articulate a vision of racial superiority that would resonate controversially for decades to come. Gobineau'Äôs erudition and social critique expose the underlying tensions of his era, exposing the dangers of pseudoscientific racial constructs. This book is essential for readers interested in the histories of race, sociology, and anthropology, as it not only provides insight into the ideological foundations of racial thought but also serves as a cautionary tale against reductionist views of human diversity. Scholars and students alike will benefit from engaging with Gobineau's work to understand the complexities and ramifications of racial theories that have shaped modern discourse.

  • The Ark Deluge and the World’s Great Year - Ancient Egypt the Light of the World Book 9 - cover

    The Ark Deluge and the World’s...

    After the deluge in “the destruction of mankind” the god Ra establishes a covenant with those who have escaped from the flood. He says that what he commanded is well done, and that the destruction of his enemies removes destruction from themselves. “Said by the majesty of Ra, It is well done, all this. I shall now protect men on account of this. Said by Ra, I now raise my hand that I shall not destroy men” i.e. not again. The making of this covenant after the deluge is followed by the establishment of the New Year’s festival under the direction of the young priestesses of Hathor. ―from “The Ark, the Deluge, and the World’s Great Year” It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a “hidden history” of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey’s massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World―first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar―redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs. Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 9 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey explores the prevalent imagery across numerous mythological traditions of a global flood unleashed at the behest of an angry god, and shows how they all sprang from Egyptian folklore. Peculiar and profound, this work will intrigue and delight readers of history, religion, and mythology. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828–1907) published works of poetry, spiritualism, Shakespearean criticism, and theology, but his best-known works are in the realm of Egyptology, including A Book of the Beginnings and The Natural Genesis.

    Beyond the Horizon: How Intelligence Limits Led to the Pearl Harbor Failure offers a compelling analysis of one of history's most infamous intelligence failures — the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. Drawing on historical evidence and cognitive science, this thesis explores the systemic issues in U.S. intelligence operations leading up to the attack, including shortcomings in collection, analysis, and management. 
    These failures were not solely the result of institutional flaws but were deeply rooted in human decision-making's inherent cognitive and behavioral limitations. The book highlights how intelligence professionals can learn from the past to anticipate and mitigate future threats by uncovering these constraints. 
    Packed with insightful lessons and actionable recommendations, Beyond the Horizon is a vital resource for intelligence officers, policymakers, and historians. It emphasizes the importance of adapting to human limitations to protect against potential surprises.

    The New Negro - An Interpretation

    "Of all the voluminous literature on the Negro, so much is mere external view and commentary…We turn therefore in the other direction to the elements of truest social portraiture, and discover in the artistic self-expression of the Negro to-day a new figure on the national canvas and a new force in the foreground of affairs.” 
      
    The New Negro Movement of the 1920s marked a shift in the pursuit of African American equality. African American soldiers were returning home from World War I, and after fighting for freedoms abroad, they were inspired to continue that fight on their own soil. The “old” ways had focused on passively accepting social policies, but the “new” ways would harness their collective voices in defining their own identity. The intellectual and artistic movement of the Harlem Renaissance stirred a tremendous wave of social change. 
      
    The New Negro was edited by Dr. Alain LeRoy Locke, a great intellectual and social visionary who is also considered the father of the Harlem Renaissance. This collection features works from many influential African American writers, such as Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and Countee Cullen. 
      
    Alain Locke dedicates this book to future generations. In keeping with his vision, inAudio is honored to share this audiobook production with an enduring legacy of listeners.
