Summary

In "Citizen or Subject?", Francis X. Hennessy delves into the intricate relationship between identity, loyalty, and governance in the context of modern democratic societies. Employing a critical lens, Hennessy demonstrates how concepts of citizenship and subjugation have evolved, shaped by historical events and sociopolitical currents. His literary style is marked by rigorous scholarship blended with accessible prose, making complex theories on civil rights and national obligation comprehensible to a broader audience. This book is positioned within a growing body of literature that interrogates civic responsibility amidst increasing global challenges and immigrant narratives, highlighting the tensions between inclusion and exclusion. Francis X. Hennessy, a noted political theorist and historian, draws on his extensive background in civic engagement and post-colonial studies to craft this compelling analysis. Hennessy's academic journey, influenced by a keen interest in the dynamics of power and identity, has equipped him to address critical questions pertaining to what it means to belong in modern society. His previous works reflect a dedication to understanding the ramifications of policy on individual identity, further enriching the discourse in this text.

    The Old Book That Predicted Everything is a remarkable collection of prophecies that has intrigued scholars, mystics, and skeptics alike for centuries. Passed down through generations, this ancient text contains predictions that seem to transcend time, offering insights into future events with eerie accuracy. What makes these prophecies particularly fascinating is not only their mysterious nature but also the fact that many of them appear to have come true in ways that could not have been foreseen by those who first recorded them. 
The origins of the Old Book are shrouded in mystery. It is believed to have been written by multiple authors over a period of time, each contributing their own visions of the future. Some claim that the text is divinely inspired, while others argue that it is the product of keen observation and insight. Regardless of its origin, the prophecies contained within have captured the imagination of those who have studied them. From predictions about world events to the fate of individuals, the Old Book seems to have anticipated numerous occurrences long before they happened. 
One of the key reasons the Old Book has garnered so much attention is the sheer breadth of its predictions. It spans a wide range of topics, from natural disasters and political upheavals to technological advancements and changes in human behavior. What makes these predictions all the more compelling is the fact that they often appear to be remarkably specific. For example, prophecies about wars, leaders, and even entire civilizations have unfolded with uncanny precision, suggesting that the Old Book holds a profound understanding of the forces that shape our world.

    An autistic feminist author looks at women's history, in search of her 'weird sisters.' 
 
 
 
It seemed to me that many of the moments when my autism had caused problems, or at least marked me out as different, were those moments when I had come up against some unspoken law about how a girl or a woman should be, and failed to meet it. 
 
 
 
An autism diagnosis in midlife enabled Joanne Limburg to finally make sense of why her emotional expression, social discomfort and presentation had always marked her as an outsider. 
 
 
 
Eager to discover other women who had been misunderstood in their time, she writes a series of wide-ranging letters to four 'weird sisters' from history, addressing topics including autistic parenting, social isolation, feminism, the movement for disability rights and the appalling punishments that have been meted out over centuries to those deemed to fall short of the norm. 
 
 
 
This heartfelt, deeply compassionate and wholly original work humanizes women who have so often been dismissed for their differences, and will be celebrated by 'weird sisters' everywhere.

changed. Why does the brain accept this way of living, and why doesn’t it break it down? 
• As long as I have my roots in the past there cannot be order.
