Sinopsis

Disability History Overview explores the evolution of disability from a medical concern to a matter of human rights and social justice. This transformation includes analyzing how societal attitudes and medical theories have shaped the experience of disability across different eras. The book highlights the disability rights movement, showcasing the struggles and triumphs of disabled activists fighting for equality. Understanding this history is crucial for dismantling ableism and fostering a more equitable world.

 
The book examines the historical construction of disability, the impact of institutionalization, and the rise of disability rights movements. For example, large-scale institutions often subjected disabled individuals to dehumanizing conditions. The narrative progresses from pre-modern perspectives to contemporary challenges like accessibility and digital inclusion. It argues that disability is a social construct reflecting power dynamics, supported by historical documents and scholarly research. This perspective challenges traditional medical models and emphasizes social and political factors.

    Written during a genocide, After Savagery reveals the ethical bankruptcy of "Western philosophy" and how it undergirds the erasure of the colonized. 
    The death toll in Gaza continues to rise―a cold, lifeless number representing entire communities crushed under the weight of settler colonialism.What remains of the theories we use to understand our world? With lyrical and lucid fury, Hamid Dabashi exposes the racist roots of Western philosophy, demanding that listeners overcome its pernicious phantom of relevance. Rather than perceiving "the West" as giving carte blanche to Israel, Dabashi insists that Israel must be understood as its quintessence.If Israel is the West and the West is Israel, then Palestine is the world and the world is Palestine. Holding to glimmers from revolutionary works of literature and film, Dabashi argues, in grief and love, that the wretched of the earth need poetry after barbarism—and that Palestine is the site of a liberated imagination.

    With the right to petition the United Nations, the Ewe and Togoland unification movement enjoyed a privilege unmatched by other dependent peoples. Using language conveying insecurity, the movement seized the international spotlight, ensuring that the topic of unification dominated the UN Trusteeship System for over a decade. Yet, its vociferous securitisations fell silent due to colonial distortion, leaving unification unfulfilled, thus allowing the seeds of secessionist conflict to grow. At the intersection of postcolonial theory and security studies, Julius Heise presents a theory-driven history of Togoland's path to independence, offering a crucial lesson for international statebuilding efforts.

    [How to Be Calm] delves into the subtle art of finding peace in a world that never stops moving. Through intimate prose that reads like a conversation with a close friend, this guide illuminates the spaces between breaths, the moments between thoughts, where true tranquility resides. Unlike conventional self-help books that prescribe rigid routines, this work weaves together practical wisdom with poetic insight, showing how calmness isn't something to achieve but rather a natural state to remember. Drawing from both ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience, it explores how our relationship with silence, solitude, and simplicity shapes our capacity for peace. The book's unique approach lies in its recognition that calmness isn't the absence of chaos but the ability to find stillness within it, teaching readers how to navigate life's complexities with grace and presence. Through chapters that flow like gentle streams of consciousness, readers discover that the path to tranquility isn't about adding more techniques to their lives, but about remembering their innate capacity for peace.
