    A provocative examination of how religious practices of forgetting drive white Christian nationalism. 
      
    The dual traumas of colonialism and slavery are still felt by Native Americans and African Americans as victims of ongoing violence toward people of color today. In The Feeling of Forgetting, John Corrigan calls attention to the trauma experienced by white Americans as perpetrators of this violence. By tracing memory’s role in American Christianity, Corrigan shows how contemporary white Christian nationalism is motivated by a widespread effort to forget the role race plays in American society. White trauma, Corrigan argues, courses through American culture like an underground river that sometimes bursts forth into brutality, terrorism, and insurrection. Tracing the river to its source is a necessary first step toward healing.

    In 1985, a white man walked into a South Georgia church and brutally murdered Harold and Thelma Swain, two pillars of the area's Black community. For fifteen years, the case remained unsolved. Then authorities zeroed in on Dennis Perry, a carpenter who grew up nearby. Convicted with devastatingly flawed evidence, Perry received a double life sentence. 
     
     
     
    When award-winning journalist and South Georgia native Joshua Sharpe retraces the case, he discovers a winding path of corruption, devastating missteps, and secrets. And he confronts a long-ignored suspect: an alleged white supremacist who had bragged about committing the murders. 
     
     
     
    And even as evidence mounts of Perry's innocence, local officials work to keep him in prison—until Sharpe's reporting forces the state to launch a new investigation. The Man No One Believed tells the unbelievable story of one of the most confounding cases in Georgia history, the extraordinary fight to free an innocent man, and how state officials worked against the odds to deliver justice for the Swains after all. 
     
     
     
    Both a riveting true crime story and a searing indictment of American injustice, The Man No One Believed is a gripping work of literary journalism.

    This book contains the following titles: 
    - The 2024 Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of the most complex and enduring disputes in modern history. Rooted in competing nationalist aspirations, territorial claims, and historical grievances, the conflict has shaped the Middle East and drawn international attention for over a century. To understand the events of 2024, it is essential to examine the historical context that underpins this struggle. 
    - The Syrian Civil War: The Syrian Civil War, which began in 2011, stands as one of the most devastating conflicts in modern history, reshaping not only Syria but the entire Middle East and the international political landscape. The war has drawn in numerous global powers, each with their own motivations, and has sparked a humanitarian crisis of unparalleled scale. This conflict is not merely a battle between the Assad regime and opposition groups but a complex web of local, regional, and international rivalries, ideologies, and geopolitical interests. As the fighting continues, the war has resulted in staggering human loss, displacement, and destruction, leaving a country in ruins and millions of people displaced across borders. 
    - The Rise of ISIS: The rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) stands as one of the most significant and alarming phenomena of the 21st century. Emerging from the chaos of regional conflicts and geopolitical missteps, ISIS transformed from a little-known insurgent group into a global threat that captured the world’s attention. At its height, ISIS declared a self-styled caliphate, controlling vast territories across Iraq and Syria, and wielded its influence far beyond the Middle East. Through acts of brutality, strategic propaganda, and a sophisticated recruitment network, the group redefined the face of modern terrorism.

    "They lived in a kind of hieroglyphic world, where the real thing was never said or done or even thought, but only uttered by a set of arbitrary signs."
    
    Newland Archer is a man of the elite, a gentleman lawyer perfectly aligned with the rigid social codes of 1870s New York. His life is meticulously planned, beginning with his engagement to the beautiful, conventional May Welland. But when May's cousin, the scandalous Countess Ellen Olenska, returns from Europe seeking a divorce, Archer's world is upended. Drawn to Ellen's independence and intellectual fire, he begins to question the very foundations of the society that sustains him.
    
    The Invisible Chains of Convention: Wharton brilliantly portrays a world where "the tribal ritual" of social life is more powerful than any individual passion. As Archer and Ellen's forbidden attraction grows, the weight of family expectation and the subtle, unspoken threats of social exile begin to close in. It is a story where a dinner party can be as deadly as a duel, and a raised eyebrow can signal the end of a reputation.
    
    A Pulitzer Prize-Winning Masterpiece: The Age of Innocence is a lush, satirical, and ultimately heartbreaking exploration of the sacrifice required to belong. Wharton, an insider of the world she describes, uses her exquisite prose to dissect the hypocrisy and the hidden beauty of a vanished era. It remains the definitive novel of the American Gilded Age—a timeless study of the conflict between the heart's longing and the world's demands.
    
    Step behind the velvet curtain of Old New York. Purchase "The Age of Innocence" today and experience the elegance and the agony of a world bound by decorum.
