Ethel Snowden

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "Through Bolshevik Russia," Ethel Snowden offers a vivid and incisive account of her travels through the tumultuous landscape of post-revolutionary Russia. Written in the early 1920s, the narrative is marked by her keen observations and a reflective literary style that deftly intertwines personal anecdotes with broader political commentary. Snowden captures the stark realities of life under Bolshevism, illuminating the struggles and hopes of ordinary citizens against the backdrop of radical socio-political change. Her prose combines a realistic depiction of hardship with an underlying curiosity about the new Soviet order, making the work both a historical document and a personal memoir of her experiences during a critical time in world history. Ethel Snowden, an influential political figure and writer, was deeply engaged in the labor movements and socialist politics of her time, which profoundly influenced her perspectives reflected in this book. Married to a prominent Labour politician, Sydney Snowden, she had access to various political circles and international insight, thus situating her observations within a broader ideological context. Her commitment to social justice and equality also echoes through her writings, providing a unique lens through which to view the changes taking place in Russia. "Through Bolshevik Russia" is recommended for readers interested in the intersection of travel writing and political discourse, as well as those curious about the human dimension of revolutionary change. Snowden's work not only informs but also provokes critical reflection on the ideologies that shaped the 20th century, making it an essential read for historians, students of literature, and anyone fascinated by the complexities of modern political movements.

Fridays of Rage - Al Jazeera the...

Sam Cherribi

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.

Queering Contemplation - Finding...

Cassidy Hall

The world of contemplative Christianity has yielded to the same voices for far too long, many of whom are from centuries before our time, with lives unlike our own, and often from experiences disconnected from marginalization, oppression, and what it feels like to be an outsider. 
 
 
 
Cassidy Hall, an LGBTQIA+ Christian contemplative scholar and podcast host, takes us on a journey to queer the contemplative tradition. 
 
 
 
As queerness reawakened her own contemplative life, Hall discovered that queering and questioning the tradition allowed her to listen more closely to voices that are queer, marginalized, and oppressed. In showing us the way, she helps us envision what contemplative faith can look like, what spiritual spaces we can reclaim for welcome—and how queering contemplation, and lifting up queer contemplative voices, frees us to seek the infinite possibility of our own identity and engage our spiritual lives with open hearts and open hands. 
 
 
 
Whether you're queer or want to queer your own perspectives, Hall throws open the doors of contemplative spirituality for all, bringing us to contemplation in very new, sometimes old, but always queer ways.

The Expansion of the European...

Fredrich Hazelton

The European Union (EU) stands as one of the most ambitious projects of regional integration in modern history. The concept of a unified Europe, born out of the devastation of World War II, has evolved from an economic community among six founding nations to a political and economic powerhouse with 27 member states. The expansion of the EU has been a gradual process, driven by the desire to promote peace, stability, and prosperity across the continent. This expansion has not only reshaped the political landscape of Europe but also influenced the global order in profound ways.
The early history of the EU was marked by the establishment of the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1957, aimed at fostering economic cooperation and reducing the likelihood of future conflicts. Over time, the EEC transformed into the European Union, encompassing broader goals such as political cooperation, human rights, and environmental standards. Each enlargement of the EU has brought new nations into this framework, solidifying the idea of a united Europe. The process of integrating new member states, however, has not been without its challenges. Issues of economic disparity, political alignment, and social integration have tested the limits of the union and sparked debates about the future direction of the EU.
The most significant expansion occurred in 2004, when ten countries, predominantly from Central and Eastern Europe, joined the EU in a historic enlargement. This expansion marked the end of the Cold War divide and brought former communist nations into the European fold. Yet, it also highlighted the complexities of integrating countries with differing political histories, economic conditions, and social structures. The subsequent expansions in 2007 and 2013 saw Romania, Bulgaria, and Croatia join the EU, furthering the union’s reach into the Balkans.
