Sinossi

Dry Goods Trade explores the complex journey of traditional Himba products from remote Namibian communities to urban markets, examining the economic, social, and cultural implications of this trade. It highlights how the integration of Himba crafts into global markets, while offering economic opportunities, simultaneously poses risks to cultural heritage and social structures.

 
The book delves into the commodification of Himba culture, focusing on how "authenticity" is marketed and the challenges faced by Himba women at the forefront of this trade. The book offers a nuanced perspective on globalization's impact on indigenous communities, particularly the Himba people, whose traditional economy revolves around cattle herding and handcrafted goods.

 
It also investigates the sustainability of traditional production practices amidst market pressures, questioning the long-term viability of resource extraction. Through fieldwork and interviews, the book systematically analyzes these issues, starting with an introduction to the Himba and their economic practices, then tracing the journey of specific products to urban markets. The analysis progresses through marketing strategies, the roles of Himba women, and the environmental impacts, ultimately proposing strategies for fair trade and cultural preservation.

Laws

Plato

Laws is Plato's last and longest dialogue. It is generally agreed that Plato wrote this dialogue as an older man, having failed in his effort in Syracuse on the island of Sicily to guide a tyrant's rule, instead having been thrown in prison 
 
The Classical Greek philosopher Plato was instrumental in the development of Western philosophy and science. Plato was born to an aristocratic family and was well-educated. He founded the Academy, one of the first institutions of higher learning, around 385 BC. Plato was highly influenced by his teacher, Socrates. Socrates was condemned to death after being accused of corrupting his young followers. After Socrates' death, Plato recorded several dialogues detailing what he remembered from Socrates' teachings and interactions with others. Almost everything known about Socrates comes from Plato's dialogues. Plato's writings have been revised and interpreted by a variety of publishers.

I Citizen - A Blueprint for...

Tony Woodlief

The majority of Americans are far closer in values than the ideological opinion-shapers lead us to believe. This book asks how we can restore the civic unity that our political elites have worked for years to dismantle.This is a story of hope, but also of peril. It began when our nation’s polarized political class started conscripting everyday citizens into its culture war. From their commanding heights in political parties, media, academia, and government, these partisans have attacked one another for years, but increasingly they’ve convinced everyday Americans to join the fray. Why should we feel such animosity toward our fellow citizens, our neighbors, even our own kin? Because we’ve fallen for the false narrative, eagerly promoted by pundits on the Left and the Right, that citizens who happen to vote Democrat or Republican are enthusiastic supporters of Team Blue or Team Red. Aside from a minority of party activists and partisans, however, most voters are simply trying to choose the lesser of two evils. The real threat to our union isn’t Red vs. Blue America, it’s the quiet collusion within our nation’s political class to take away that most American of freedoms: our right to self-governance. Even as partisans work overtime to divide Americans against one another, they’ve erected a system under which we ordinary citizens don’t have a voice in the decisions that affect our lives. From foreign wars to how local libraries are run, authority no longer resides with We the People, but amongst unaccountable officials. The political class has stolen our birthright and set us at one another’s throats. This is the story of how that happened and what we can do about it. America stands at a precipice, but there’s still time to reclaim authority over our lives and communities.
