Beschreibung

In "Why is the Negro Lynched?", Frederick Douglass presents a compelling and urgent inquiry into the pervasive violence against African Americans, particularly the horrific act of lynching. Masterfully articulated, Douglass employs a poignant yet accessible literary style, leveraging both emotional appeal and stark factual evidence to expose the systemic racism embedded in American society. His essay not only highlights the immediate horrors of lynching but also situates it within the broader context of slavery's legacy, racism, and the struggle for civil rights, illustrating a grim narrative that confronts readers with the reality of human suffering and moral failure in a purportedly civilized society. Frederick Douglass, a former enslaved person and renowned abolitionist, dedicated his life to advocating for justice and equality. His personal experiences with oppression and his profound understanding of societal injustices profoundly informed his writing. Douglass's eloquence and passion arose from a direct confrontation with inequality, which shaped his lifelong mission to illuminate the disenfranchisement of Black people in America and challenge the moral conscience of his contemporaries. This essential work is a clarion call for awareness and action against racial violence, making it a crucial read for anyone seeking to understand the roots and repercussions of systemic racism. Douglass's incisive analysis and heartfelt plea invite readers to engage with the moral imperative of justice, urging them to confront the uncomfortable truths of history and their present implications.

    It’s insane to think that mass murder didn’t stop at the end of World War II. Since the Holocaust, various genocides have taken place in different areas of the world. In this book, we’ll talk about something that has often been shoved under the rug, but was definitely a consequence of the Vietnam War, the bombings by the Americans, and a domino effect into an already fragile political country: The nation of Cambodia. 
    The Cambodian genocide was the methodical abuse and death of Cambodians by the Khmer Rouge, led by Pol Pot, the general secretary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea, who pushed Cambodia towards being an entirely self-dependent agrarian socialist state. Between 1975 and 1979, 1.5 to 2 million people were murdered, representing about a quarter of Cambodia's population in 1975. (c. 7.8 million). 
    When we look back on this, their ideology seems completely paradoxical, far-fetched, and illogical. Yet, through a considerately high number of propaganda resources and sheer force, the coup forced millions of people from the cities to farmlands, leaving them there to die or be shot because of supposed conspiracies against the regime. Let’s take a deep dive into the history of this ancient Southeast Asian area and learn from what happened.

    Capitalism is one of the most influential and widely practiced economic systems in the world today. Rooted in the principles of private ownership and free enterprise, it has shaped modern societies and economies for centuries. At its core, capitalism is an economic system where individuals and businesses own and operate the means of production and distribution of goods and services. This ownership is driven by the pursuit of profit, incentivizing innovation, efficiency, and productivity. 
    The origins of capitalism can be traced back to the decline of feudalism in Europe during the late Middle Ages. As trade expanded and markets grew, the need for a more flexible and dynamic economic structure became apparent. The Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries played a pivotal role in solidifying capitalism as the dominant economic system, introducing mass production and new technologies that revolutionized industries. 
    The free market is the cornerstone of capitalism. It operates on the principle of supply and demand, where prices are determined by the interaction of buyers and sellers. This self-regulating mechanism, famously referred to as the "invisible hand" by economist Adam Smith, ensures that resources are allocated efficiently and goods are produced in response to consumer needs. Competition among businesses fosters innovation, lowers prices, and improves quality, benefiting consumers and driving economic progress.

    The movement to install a populist strongman in the White House with a game plan for enforcing right-wing policies and catering to evangelical Christians started well before Donald Trump's first candidacy. For decades, a well-funded network of religious and political operatives has been quietly working to dismantle democracy and replace it with Christian theocracy. Their strategy? The seven mountains mandate—a plan to seize control of seven key pillars of American society and reshape the nation: education; government; religion; family; business; media; and entertainment. 
     
    Scholar Matthew Boedy exposes how this movement laid the groundwork for Trump's presidency and is now advancing its agenda under his second administration. Discover what has motivated the key players in this movement, how they've operated, and what is the unprecedented role of millennial "kingmaker" Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA and the new face of Christian nationalism and the seven mountains movement. 
     
    With Project 2025 policies in motion, the seven mountains movement is closer than ever to its goal of turning America into a Christian nationalist state. Leaders of this movement have been playing a long game, undermining democracy to establish a theocracy, but it's not too late to halt their progress and reverse the tide.

    NAACP Image Award Nominee · NPR Best Book of 2022 
    A searing memoir of American racism from a Somalian-American who survived hardships in his birth country only to experience firsthand the dehumanization of Blacks in his adopted land, the United States. 
    “No one told me about America.”  
     Born in Somalia and raised in a valley among nomads, Boyah Farah grew up with a code of male bravado that helped him survive deprivation, disease, and civil war. Arriving in America, he believed that the code that had saved him would help him succeed in this new country. But instead of safety and freedom, Boyah found systemic racism, police brutality, and intense prejudice in all areas of life, including the workplace. He learned firsthand not only what it meant to be an African in America, but what it means to be African American. The code of masculinity that shaped generations of men in his family could not prepare Farah for the painful realities of life in the United States.  
    Lyrical yet unsparing, America Made Me a Black Man is the first book-length examination of American racism from an African outsider’s perspective. With a singular poetic voice brimming with imagery, Boyah challenges us to face difficult truths about the destructive forces that threaten Black lives and attempts to heal a fracture in Black men’s identity.
