Sinopsis

 
Walk alongside the resolute men and women in REMEMBERING SLAVERY as they portray the real world in which they struggled and endured as slaves. Experience the harsh and often brutal reality of slavery as it really was; the beatings, the humiliation, the long hours and back-breaking work, and the seemingly endless days of cruelty and hardship. Their personal accounts expose the undeniable and often uncomfortable truths, both good and evil, attendant to life in bondage.    
 
The personal accounts of 24 former slaves presented in REMEMBERING SLAVERY expose the harsh and often painful tribulations they endured while living in bondage, transcribed in their own words and recorded for posterity. These first-person testimonials open a window into the past, thus enabling contemporary readers a rare opportunity to share the trials, fears, frustrations, hopes, and visions of these African Americans caught up in the maelstrom that was the 1800's Antebellum Period.

    Fridays of Rage provides a glimpse into how Al Jazeera strategically cast its journalists as martyrs in the struggle for Arab freedom while promoting itself as the mouthpiece and advocate of the Arab public. 
     
     
     
    In addition to heralding a new era of Arab democracy, Al Jazeera has become a major influence over Arab perceptions of American involvement in the Arab World, the Arab-Israeli conflict, the rise of global Islamic fundamentalism, and the expansion of the political far right. Al Jazeera's blueprint for "Muslim-democracy" was part of a vision announced by the network during its earliest broadcasts. The network embarked upon a mission to reconstruct the Arab mindset and psyche. Al Jazeera introduced exiled Islamist leaders to the larger Arab public while also providing Muslim feminists a platform. 
     
     
     
    The inclusion and consideration of Westerners, Israelis, Hamas, secularists, and others earned the network a reputation for pluralism and inclusiveness. Al Jazeera presented a mirror to an Arab world afraid to examine itself and its democratic deficiencies. But rather than assuming that Al Jazeera is a monolithic force for positive transformation in Arab society, Fridays of Rage examines the potentially dark implications of Al Jazeera's radical re-conceptualization of media as a strategic tool or weapon.

    Best known as the leader of the Harlem Renaissance, the celebrated poet and writer Langston Hughes believed in the power of art as resistance. What can we learn from his works today? 
    Randal M. Jelks delivers this revelatory portrait of the celebrated poet, essayist, playwright, and American artist Langston Hughes. My America traces Hughes's journey from a child captivated by the wonder of Kansas City to cosmopolitan witness in Paris, New York, Mexico City, and Madrid. We encounter Hughes as a young man discovering the pulse of modern life in a world on the verge of exploding metaphorically and literally. His experiences informed his work and his thinking on art, democracy, and activism. 
    Langston Hughes is one of the few American writers who consistently wrote about democracy from a joyous perspective, and My America explores how his works speak to the political anxieties and crises we face today. Jelks deftly examines the themes in Hughes's work, including creative expression, communal dignity, class struggle, and human suffering and what they mean for our inner well-being as democratic persons and political participants. 
    With care and no-holds-barred insight, My America removes the veneer of respectability often placed on Hughes's work and life to reveal his political adeptness. In a world threatened by fascism, Hughes's writing wasn't afforded the luxury of subtlety. He made a spiritual and political decision to stand on the side of the oppressed. He believed art should be practiced for the sake of justice. And democracy can be practiced with joy.

    Secret Powers and Why We Shouldn't Use Them by Manly P. Hall is a thought-provoking exploration of the hidden abilities within human consciousness and the moral, ethical, and spiritual implications of their misuse. Drawing from esoteric traditions, philosophy, and psychology, Hall delves into the nature of these powers, such as clairvoyance, telepathy, and other psychic phenomena, emphasizing their potential to disrupt personal and universal harmony if wielded irresponsibly. Through a balanced perspective, he advocates for self-discipline, ethical development, and a commitment to spiritual growth as prerequisites for engaging with these latent abilities. The work serves as both a cautionary tale and an invitation to introspection, encouraging readers to align with universal principles of integrity and wisdom before attempting to unlock their hidden potential.
