  The Battle of Tours - Defending...

  The Umayyad Caliphate emerged as one of the most powerful empires in the early Islamic world, expanding its influence across vast territories from the Middle East to North Africa and into Europe. Following the death of Prophet Muhammad, the Islamic world underwent a rapid transformation, with the Rashidun Caliphs overseeing the initial expansion. However, it was under the Umayyads, beginning in 661 CE, that the Islamic empire reached unprecedented heights, establishing a vast and organized dominion. Their rule was characterized by military conquests, administrative advancements, and cultural integration, making them a formidable force in the medieval world. 
  One of the most defining aspects of Umayyad expansion was its push into Western Europe. After successfully conquering the Iberian Peninsula in 711 CE, the Muslim forces, primarily composed of Berbers and Arabs, established Al-Andalus under the leadership of governors appointed by the Umayyad Caliphate. The conquest of the Visigothic Kingdom was swift, with key victories such as the Battle of Guadalete opening the doors for further advances northward. By the early 8th century, the Umayyads had consolidated control over much of present-day Spain and Portugal, making their presence in Europe a significant political and military reality. 
  As the Umayyads strengthened their hold over Iberia, their attention turned toward the Frankish territories. The Islamic forces, seeking to expand their influence beyond the Pyrenees, launched several incursions into the southern regions of Gaul. These raids, initially aimed at securing wealth and resources, gradually evolved into more ambitious campaigns of territorial expansion. The city of Narbonne fell under Muslim control in 719 CE, serving as a critical stronghold for future campaigns. From there, the Umayyads pushed further into Aquitaine, where they encountered resistance from the local Christian rulers, most notably Duke Odo of Aquitaine.

  Finding Francis, finding family, freeing history 
   
   
   
  Francis is found. Beyond Francis, a family is found—in archival material that barely deigned to notice their existence. This is the story of Francis Sistrunk and her children, from enslavement into forced migration across South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. It spans decades before the Civil War and continues into post-emancipation America. A family story full of twists and turns, Finding Francis reclaims and honors those women who played an essential role in the historical survival and triumph of Black people during and after American slavery. 
   
   
   
  Elizabeth West has created a remarkable "biohistoriography" of everyday Black resistance, grounded in a determination to maintain enduring connections of family, kinship, and community despite the inhumanity and rapacity of slavery. There is inevitable heartbreak in these histories, but there is also an empowering strength and inspiration—the truth of these lives will indeed set us all free.

  The Sociology of Deviance -...

  Deviance is not an inherent quality of an action or behavior but rather a label assigned by society based on cultural norms, values, and historical context. What is considered deviant in one society may be perfectly acceptable in another, highlighting the socially constructed nature of rule-breaking. This means that deviance is not a fixed concept but a fluid one, constantly evolving as societies change over time. 
  Norms, or the unwritten rules that govern behavior, play a central role in determining what is labeled as deviant. These norms vary across cultures, social groups, and historical periods, meaning that what is seen as unacceptable in one setting may be tolerated or even encouraged in another. For example, attitudes toward tattoos, same-sex relationships, and gender roles have shifted dramatically over time, illustrating how deviance is shaped by broader social forces rather than existing as an objective reality. 
  One of the key aspects of the social construction of deviance is the process of labeling. According to labeling theory, deviance is not just about breaking rules but also about how society reacts to those who violate norms. When a person is labeled as deviant, they may experience stigma, discrimination, or exclusion, reinforcing their deviant identity. This can lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy where individuals internalize their label and continue engaging in deviant behavior. For instance, a teenager who is repeatedly told they are a troublemaker may begin to see themselves that way and act accordingly.
