  This challenging and inspiring collection of essays constructively frames the story of Black America—not as a tragedy involving helpless victims, but as a model for the nation. Scholars and grassroots leaders recount the history—the gritty, painful, but often triumphant account of what blacks accomplished after slavery was ended. Denied access to the institutions of white America, they built their own churches, schools, hotels, and a host of other successful enterprises. Their resilience produced amazing increases in literacy, family formation, and income. 
   
   
   
  Today's unsung grassroots leaders are the living evidence of the power of resilience. They use their stories of overcoming adversity and their own fallibility to help others. The organizations they create heal their communities. 
   
   
   
  This volume presents the insights of scholars who warn of the dangerous forces that threaten to shackle the ability of blacks to succeed today. They warn that, by accepting the notion that black adversity continues to be the product of systemic racism and is therefore unchangeable, no one would need to step up to the realities of a responsible life. This kind of thinking has led to lowering standards in education and even in the judicial system. The scholars outline positive paths to the future.

  Islamic Invasions of Europe The:...

  The history of the Spanish Peninsula is closely bound to that of the Moors. The term “Spain” was not in wide use until the region was united by the monarchs of Aragon and Castile, and the Moors called the lands they ruled in the Iberian Peninsula Al-Andalus, traditionally thought to be an Arabic transliteration of Vandal, the Germanic tribe which briefly ruled the region in the early fifth century. The English name Andalusia derives from the Spanish Andalucia, which is still used by Spain to name its southern region. 
  	Not surprisingly, three religions attempting to coexist during medieval times resulted in nearly incessant conflicts, marked by high taxation, disparate societies, rigid cultural controls, and systemic violence. Despite the odds, these three religions managed to live in a state of quasi-acceptance and peace in most of the major cities in the Iberian Peninsula like Cordoba and Tolaydough, with sporadic warfare occurring on the borders between Al-Andalus and the Christian kingdoms near the Pyrenees Mountains. Muslims, Christians, and Jews would attempt to reorganize their societies several times over the centuries through warfare, always with Jews on the lower rungs and Christians and Muslims fighting it out above them.  
  	The end of the Byzantine Empire had a profound effect not only on the Middle East but Europe as well. Constantinople had played a crucial part in the Crusades, and the fall of the Byzantines meant that the Ottomans now shared a border with Europe. The Islamic empire was viewed as a threat by the predominantly Christian continent to their west, and it took little time for different European nations to start clashing with the powerful Turks. In fact, the Ottomans would clash with Russians, Austrians, Venetians, Polish, and more before collapsing as a result of World War I, when they were part of the Central Powers.

  Republicanism Explained - The...

  Republicanism is a political ideology that emphasizes the importance of a government where power rests in the hands of elected representatives, rather than a monarch or dictator. The essence of republicanism lies in the commitment to a system that prioritizes liberty, the rule of law, and the well-being of the public. Republicanism has roots in the ancient political thought of Greece and Rome, particularly through the Roman Republic, which provided the foundational ideas of civic participation and the limitation of power. It was in the Renaissance and Enlightenment periods that these principles were revived and further refined, giving rise to modern republicanism as we know it today. 
  The core tenet of republicanism is that government should be based on consent of the governed. Unlike monarchies, where power is inherited or imposed, republicanism promotes a system in which rulers are elected by the people to serve their interests. This concept of popular sovereignty—government’s authority coming from the consent of the people—distinguishes republicanism from both monarchy and democracy. In republican systems, rulers are expected to act in the best interest of society, balancing the needs of the individual with those of the community, while also safeguarding the common good. 
  A key feature of republicanism is its emphasis on the separation of powers. Drawing from Montesquieu’s influence, republican thought advocates for dividing government authority into branches—executive, legislative, and judicial—in order to prevent any one entity from becoming too powerful. This system of checks and balances ensures that power is distributed and that no single branch or individual can dominate or misuse their authority. This is vital to maintaining the liberty of individuals within a republican system.
