  The Urban Poor - Socioeconomic...

  Urban poverty has emerged as one of the most pressing social and economic issues of the modern world. As the global population increasingly shifts toward urban centers, the face of poverty is no longer limited to rural areas. Cities, which were once seen as hubs of opportunity, now grapple with growing disparities between the rich and the poor. The urban poor live in environments that offer limited access to basic services such as housing, healthcare, education, and employment opportunities, making it difficult for them to escape the cycle of poverty. 
  The rapid pace of urbanization, especially in developing countries, has led to the creation of sprawling slums and informal settlements where millions of people struggle to survive. These areas are often characterized by overcrowded living conditions, inadequate infrastructure, and limited access to clean water and sanitation. As cities expand, they fail to provide adequate housing for their increasing populations, and the urban poor are forced to live in substandard conditions with few opportunities for upward mobility. 
  Urban poverty is not just about a lack of income; it is about a lack of access to the resources and services that are essential for a decent quality of life. The urban poor are often marginalized and excluded from the formal economy, finding themselves in low-wage, insecure jobs or relying on informal employment. This lack of stable income exacerbates their poverty and limits their ability to meet basic needs such as food, healthcare, and education.

  Numidians The: The History of...

  Editors Charles River

  Carthage was one of the great ancient civilizations, and at its peak, the wealthy Carthaginian empire dominated the Mediterranean against the likes of Greece and Rome, with commercial enterprises and influence stretching from Spain to Turkey. In fact, at several points in history it had a very real chance of replacing the fledgling Roman empire or the failing Greek poleis (city-states) altogether as master of the Mediterranean. Although Carthage by far preferred to exert economic pressure and influence before resorting to direct military power (and even went so far as to rely primarily on mercenary armies paid with its vast wealth for much of its history, it nonetheless produced a number of outstanding generals, from the likes of Hanno Magnus to, of course, the great bogeyman of Roman nightmares himself: Hannibal.  
  	What is often overlooked is how Carthage interacted with other groups in North Africa, some of which fought with them and against them. North Africa is generally thought of as a land devoid of life, full of nothing but desert wastelands and populated only by desert Bedouins, and while the Sahara Desert does comprise the majority of North Africa’s landmass, it is far from being the only significant sub-region of the area. Just to the north of the Sahara Desert, in what are today the modern nation-states of Algeria, Tunisia, and parts of Libya and Morocco, the land was known as Numidia in antiquity. Numida was the complete opposite of the North African stereotype of a desolate place - it was a land of plenty, the home of rich agricultural land that provided a good share of the Roman Empire’s food. Numidia was also home to the Numidian people, who were known for their horsemanship skills, bellicosity, and capriciousness when it came to their friends and allies. From the 3rd century BCE until the mid-1st century BCE, the Numidians ruled their land as independent kingdoms that dealt with their more powerful neighbors.

  Generation Gap - Why the Baby...

  The Baby Boomers are the largest and most powerful generation in American history—and they aren't going away any time soon. They dominate cultural and political institutions and make up the largest slice of the electorate. Generational conflict, with Millennials and Generation Z pitted against the aging Boomer cohort, has become a media staple. The generation gap is widening into a political fault line. 
   
   
   
  Kevin Munger marshals novel data and survey evidence to argue that generational conflict will define the politics of the next decade. He examines the historical trends that made the Baby Boomers so consequential and traces the emergence of age-based political and cultural divisions. Boomers continue to prefer the media culture of their youth, but Millennials and Gen Z are using the internet to render legacy institutions irrelevant. These divergent media habits have led more people than ever to identify with their generation. Munger shows that a common "cohort consciousness" binds aging Boomer voters into a bloc—but a shared identity and purpose among Millennials and Gen Z could topple Boomer power. 
   
   
   
  Bringing together expertise in data analysis and digital culture with keen insight into contemporary politics, Generation Gap explains why the Baby Boomers remain so dominant and how quickly that might change.
