Sinopse

Cold Nights Endure offers an in-depth exploration of homelessness, revealing not just the hardships but also the remarkable resourcefulness and mutual support found within unhoused communities. It delves into the daily survival strategies, intricate social networks, and the psychological resilience essential for those living on the streets. The book highlights how street economics and makeshift shelters become integral parts of life, showcasing the active roles individuals take in shaping their own survival. 

 
The narrative progresses from examining the practical aspects of living without stable housing, such as finding food and creating shelter, to exploring the deep social bonds formed through shared experiences. It also addresses the psychological toll of homelessness, emphasizing coping mechanisms and the persistent search for dignity. 

 
Challenging conventional perceptions, Cold Nights Endure presents the unhoused not as passive victims but as active agents, fostering a deeper understanding of this complex social issue. Drawing on fieldwork, first-person accounts, and sociological research, the book paints a vivid picture of urban life for those experiencing homelessness. It argues that necessity fosters unique innovation and cooperation, demanding a shift in societal attitudes and policy approaches. 

 
By humanizing a marginalized population, the book offers valuable insights for social workers, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand and assist those experiencing homelessness, advocating for solutions that build upon their inherent strengths.

    Love and Saint Augustine

    Hannah Arendt

    Hannah Arendt, the author of The Origins of Totalitarianism and The Human Condition, began her scholarly career with an exploration of Saint Augustine's concept of caritas, or neighborly love, written under the direction of Karl Jaspers and the influence of Martin Heidegger. After her German academic life came to a halt in 1933, Arendt carried her dissertation into exile in France, and years later took the same battered and stained copy to New York. 
 
 
  
During the late 1950s and early 1960s, Arendt was simultaneously annotating and revising her dissertation on Augustine, amplifying its argument with terms and concepts she was using in her political works. The dissertation became a bridge over which Arendt traveled back and forth between 1929 Heidelberg and 1960s New York, carrying with her Augustine's question about the possibility of social life in an age of rapid political and moral change. 
 
 
 
In Love and Saint Augustine, political science professor Joanna Vecchiarelli Scott and philosophy professor Judith Chelius Stark make this important early work accessible for the first time. Here is a completely corrected and revised English translation that incorporates Arendt's own substantial revisions and provides additional notes based on letters, contracts, and other documents as well as the recollections of Arendt's friends and colleagues.

    Radama— the young, savvy ruler of the rising military power in Madagascar. Robert Townsend Farquhar— governor of the British island colony of Mauritius, whose plantation economy depends on slave labor. James Hastie— an enterprising East India Company sergeant, ready to take on a risky mission. In the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, as Britain and France face off in the southwest Indian Ocean, the destinies of these three characters intertwine. Will the British cut a deal to end the export of slaves from Madagascar, and if so at what cost? Will Radama, with Hastie by his side, win the internal power struggle against nobles and clan chieftains? Hastie' s previously unpublished journals offer the most comprehensive early 19th century account of Madagascar, its landscape, crops, industry, commerce, culture, and inhabitants, and weave a narrative of hazardous travel, byzantine court intrigue and colonial geopolitics. Sir Mervyn Brown, a former UK ambassador and historian of Madagascar, has described Hastie as " one of the most important and attractive figures in the history of Anglo-Malagasy relations."
