Sinopse

In "Jefferson and Hamilton: The Struggle for Democracy in America," Claude G. Bowers intricately examines the ideological clash between two of America's founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton. Through a narrative rich in historical context, Bowers employs a compelling literary style that combines biographical detail with a vivid portrayal of the political dynamics of the late 18th century. The book adeptly analyzes how their conflicting visions for the young republic—Jefferson's agrarian democracy versus Hamilton's vision of a strong centralized government—shaped the nation's evolution and continues to resonate in contemporary discussions about democracy and governance. Claude G. Bowers was an esteemed American author and historian, well-versed in the complexities of American politics and history. His profound interest in the formative years of the United States, combined with his scholarly background, positions him uniquely to elucidate the intricacies of Jeffersonian and Hamiltonian thought. Bowers's commitment to exploring the socio-political landscape of early America is evident in his thorough research and engaging narrative style, making the historical figures not just figureheads but real people with passionate convictions. I highly recommend "Jefferson and Hamilton" to scholars, students, and anyone interested in understanding the foundational ideological struggles that have shaped American democracy. Bowers' work offers invaluable insights into the political philosophies that continue to influence contemporary debates, making this book a crucial exploration for any reader seeking to grasp the complexities of American political thought.

    How did Vladimir Putin galvanize the Russian people to back his genocidal war in Ukraine, and why are so many of them willing to embrace fascism? This vivid, on-the-ground narrative reveals how Russia's fascist generation came into being—and the dark future that awaits the country if that hold cannot be broken. 
     
     
     
    Wartime Russia is drowning in fascist symbols. Zealous patriots attack journalists, opposition activists, and anyone suspected of betraying the motherland. Russians are urged to join the cause by hordes of online trolls and sleek videos of angry young men bellowing patriotic slogans. State television terrifies viewers with trumped up tales of anti-Russian conspiracies and genocidal yearnings. Child soldiers proudly parade across Red Square. This is Russia in the 2020s: a land of performative rage and nationalist untruth, where play-acting, pretense, and broken promises are a way of life. But in a world where pretense has become the norm, a terrifying, apocalyptic mindset is seizing the Russians of tomorrow. 
     
     
     
    As enrapturing as it is terrifying, Z Generation reveals how Russia ended up where it is today, and where its young people are headed: a fascist generation more zealous, violent, and ideological than anything the country has seen before.

    "Facts the Historians Leave Out" is a book that delves into lesser-known aspects and perspectives of American history, particularly focusing on the Confederate side of the Civil War. This work seeks to shed light on events, figures, and narratives that the author argues have been overlooked or underrepresented in mainstream historical accounts. The book is often regarded as offering a revisionist view, aiming to broaden readers' understanding of the Civil War by including stories and facts that are not commonly featured in traditional historical texts. Its approach to history is controversial, as it challenges established narratives and interpretations of the Civil War, leading to debates about historical accuracy, bias, and the role of historical narrative in shaping collective memory.

    Refusing the digital world of late capitalism 
     
     
     
    In this uncompromising essay, Jonathan Crary presents the obvious but unsayable reality: our "digital age" is synonymous with the disastrous terminal stage of global capitalism and its financialization of social existence, mass impoverishment, ecocide, and military terror. Scorched Earth surveys the wrecking of a living world by the internet complex and its devastation of communities and their capacities for mutual support. 
     
     
     
    This polemic by the author of 24/7 dismantles the presumption that social media could be an instrument of radical change and contends that the networks and platforms of transnational corporations are intrinsically incompatible with a habitable earth or with the human interdependence needed to build egalitarian post-capitalist forms of life.
