Sinopse

Written Resistance explores the profound influence of short essays and open letters as drivers of social and political change throughout history. It argues that these accessible forms of written resistance have served as crucial tools for challenging dominant ideologies and fostering political engagement. For example, during the Enlightenment, essays became a key method for disseminating revolutionary ideas, while abolitionist movements effectively used open letters to mobilize public opinion against slavery. 

 
The book delves into the historical impact of these written forms, revealing how they bypass traditional gatekeepers, allowing marginalized voices to directly engage with critical issues. By examining historical archives and contemporary online platforms, the approach combines historical analysis with modern-day relevance, offering insights for activists and engaged citizens. 

 
The book first introduces the core characteristics of essays and letters, then explores their role in key historical periods, and culminates by discussing their practical implications for contemporary activism. This unique perspective connects history and political science, providing readers with a deeper understanding of how written communication shapes social movements and challenges authority. It examines freedom of speech, censorship, and the role of social media in shaping public discourse. 

 
Ultimately, Written Resistance demonstrates how understanding the power of written dissent can empower individuals to become more effective communicators and agents of change.

    Gerald Ford is notable for being the only individual to have served as both US vice president and president without being elected to either office. He came into the vice presidency following the resignation of Spiro Agnew and then ascended to the presidency after Richard Nixon resigned in the wake of the Watergate scandal. 
    During his presidency, Ford’s most controversial decision was to grant a presidential pardon to Nixon for any crimes he might have committed in office. This act, he argued, was meant to help heal the country from the divisiveness of the Watergate era. His presidency also witnessed the final withdrawal of American troops from Vietnam, an aggressive attempt to control inflation through the “WIN” (Whip Inflation Now) program, and the signing of the Helsinki Accords, which was a major step in improving relations with the Soviet Union during the Cold War. 
    The Ford presidency took place during a very difficult period for Americans, and he was the steady hand at the helm to ensure they made it through. This book follows Gerald Ford’s life and career from beginning to end.

    Ships have been overwhelmed by huge waves, consumed by fires, broken apart, sunk by storms and driven onto uncharted rocks. They have collided with icebergs or other ships, been sunk by enemy torpedoes or gunfire, or run aground on unlit coastlines at night. Boilers have exploded. Magazines have ignited. Cargoes have shifted with catastrophic consequences and submarines have submerged never to come up again. 
     
    Shipwrecks selects the sinkings with the greatest loss of life, the most famous vessels, the richest treasure troves, the most archaeologically significant wreck sites and the most daring rescues. It tells the tales of the fate of the victims, the disastrous mistakes made by ships' captains and navigators, the impossible conditions faced at sea, the courage of those who survived and the audacious attempts to raise what now lies at the bottom of the sea.

    Deep within the bayous and swamps of Louisiana resides a population descended from an exodus. These people, called Cajuns or Acadians, were expelled from their homelands. Persecuted and homeless, they traveled hundreds of miles south in search of a new home and ultimately settled in the Pelican State, where they made new lives for themselves free from their British conquerors. Though not always warmly welcomed, they were accepted, allowing them to practice their different culture amidst their new neighbors. 
    	Though their home has changed flags over the centuries, the people themselves have remained, retaining a culture that goes back several centuries. While people continue to assimilate, some have continued to live same lifestyles their ancestors did for generations, and they continue to fascinate outsiders, so much so that they occasionally end up being featured on the History Channel. 
    	Contrary to popular belief, the term “Creole” is not restricted to the Louisiana Creole, nor the Creoles of color, which collectively refers to the overall ethnic group and different local Creole cultures that blossomed across the Spanish and French colonies in Louisiana, Mississippi, and northwestern Florida. Today, the term is much more complex and may be applied to any of the various Creole cultures around the globe. The word may also be used to describe any language that has spawned from a mixture of languages, or specifically the associated, but distinct tongues developed within Creole communities, as well as the speakers of these languages themselves.  
    Generally speaking, however, the word “Creole” refers to the cultures birthed from the colonial-era racial and cultural mixing between Europeans (mostly of French, Spanish, or Portuguese descent) and Africans, as well as Native Americans, and other local or indigenous peoples in French, Spanish, and Portuguese territories.

    A policewoman chronicles her historic legal battle against sexism within the LAPD in this “valuable . . . and at times, frightening” memoir (Kirkus Reviews). Former Army major Fanchon Blake dreamed of becoming a top cop. She joined the LAPD in 1948, confident that her efforts and talent would be rewarded. Instead, despite long hours and high achievement ratings, Blake—like all other women on the force—was denied promotion time and again. Over the years, the tenacious officer challenged the LAPD’s discriminatory agenda from within. Eventually, she broke the “blue wall of silence” by going to the press. And when all else failed, Blake saw one last chance to effect change: she filed a complaint against the LAPD with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 1973. What followed was a harrowing struggle against discrimination that would make history for women and other minority groups. Despite the ensuing verbal abuse, silent treatment, and intimidation, Blake pushed on. Seven years later, her heroic efforts would finally make it possible for women to bust through the brass ceiling.

    The Territory That Built Two States  
    
    The Mississippi Territory existed as a political entity for nearly two decades. It stretched from the Tennessee border southward to the Gulf of Mexico and was bounded on the east by the state of Georgia and the west by the mighty Mississippi River. This enormous swath of America's southwestern frontier in 1817 was divided into the state of Mississippi and the Alabama Territory. Two years later, Alabama entered the Union as a state. Between 1798 and 1817, the territory transitioned from a sparsely inhabited backwoods frontier to a thriving and dynamic centerpiece in one of the fastest-developing regions of the country. Mike Bunn and Clay Williams chronicle that story in a richly illustrated introduction and guide to discovery of this pivotal era.
