Summary

In 'The Early History of the Scottish Union Question', George W. T. Omond delves into the intricate political, social, and cultural dynamics that paved the way for the historic Union of Scotland and England in 1707. Employing a rigorous analytical lens and an accessible narrative style, Omond engages with primary sources and contemporary accounts to chart the complexities of Scottish identity and governance during a transformative period. The book offers an in-depth exploration of early debates surrounding union, examining both the opposition and support within Scotland, thereby positioning the Union question within a broader European context of nationhood and state formation. George W. T. Omond was a distinguished Scottish historian and advocate, deeply invested in the historical narratives of Scotland. His keen interest in Scottish nationalism and unionism, coupled with extensive research into archival materials, provided him with a unique vantage point. Omond's scholarly pursuits not only illuminate the historical landscape but also reveal his personal motivations stemming from a fervent sense of Scottish identity and politics in his own time. For scholars, historians, and anyone intrigued by the evolution of Scottish political thought, Omond's work serves as an indispensable resource. His exhaustive examination of the early union debates acts as a poignant reminder of the layered and often contentious relationships that define national identities. This book is a vital addition for anyone seeking to comprehend the early underpinnings of modern Scotland.

    The Muromachi Period, spanning from 1336 to 1573, marked a significant turning point in Japanese history, characterized by the rise of the Ashikaga Shogunate and the gradual shift toward decentralized feudal rule. This period emerged following the fall of the Kamakura Shogunate, as Ashikaga Takauji established his military government in Kyoto. The political, social, and cultural transformations that unfolded during this time laid the foundation for the later Sengoku era, a period of constant warfare among regional warlords. 
The decline of the Kamakura Shogunate stemmed from mounting dissatisfaction among the samurai class, who had grown discontent with the Hojo regents’ rule. The Mongol invasions of Japan in 1274 and 1281 had placed immense strain on the government, as victory brought no financial rewards for the warriors who had fought to defend the nation. With no lands to distribute as compensation, loyalty to the shogunate weakened, creating an opportunity for ambitious leaders to challenge its authority. Amid this unrest, Emperor Go-Daigo launched the Kenmu Restoration (1333–1336), an effort to reestablish imperial rule. However, his failure to recognize the interests of the samurai led to his downfall. 
Ashikaga Takauji, originally a supporter of the emperor, turned against him and seized power, defeating both imperial and Kamakura loyalists. In 1336, Takauji established his own military government, known as the Muromachi Bakufu, in Kyoto. Unlike the Kamakura Shogunate, which ruled from a distant military capital, the Muromachi Shogunate was strategically located in the heart of Japan’s cultural and political sphere. Takauji’s rule was solidified in 1338 when he was officially

    Society was not built with the needs of Black women in mind. As a result, we learn that the only way to feel good about ourselves is to prioritize everyone else's needs over our own. We find our value in being the perfect partner, mother, daughter, employee, and friend. But that is exhausting. Instead of feeling good about how dope we are, we only feel good about what we do for others. 
 
 
 
Supremacy culture teaches us to hate Black people, to hate women, and to especially hate Black women . . . except when they need us. So in a world where our service is required for acceptance, how could we ever feel good about ourselves while also giving the middle finger to systems of power? How can we live our best lives? The answer: Self-esteem. Self-esteem has been gatekept by the white and male supremacist delusions for far too long. It's time to put power where it actually belongs.

    The term Moor is a historical rather than an ethnic name. It is an invention of European Christians for the Islamic inhabitants of Maghreb (North Africa), Andalusia (Spain), Sicily and Malta, and was sometimes use to designate all Muslims. It is derived from Mauri, the Latin name for the Berbers who lived in the Roman province of Mauretania, which ranged across modern Algeria and Morocco. Saracen was another European term used to designate Muslims, though it usually referred to the Arabic peoples of the Middle East and derives from an ancient name for the Arabs, Sarakenoi. The Muslims of those regions no more refer to themselves by that term than those of North Africa call themselves Moors. Maghreb, or al-Maghreb, is a historical term used by Arabic Muslims for the territory of coastal North Africa from Alexandria to the Atlantic Coast. It means “The West” and is used in opposition to Mashrek, “The East,” used to refer to the lands of Islam in the Middle East and north-eastern Africa. The Berbers refer to the region in their own language as Tamazgha. In a limited, precise sense it can also refer to the Kingdom of Morocco, the proper name of which is al-Mamlakah al-Maghribiyyah, “Kingdom of the West.” 
The history of the Spanish Peninsula is closely bound to that of the Moors. The term “Spain” was not in wide use until the region was united by the monarchs of Aragon and Castile, and the Moors called the lands they ruled in the Iberian Peninsula Al-Andalus, traditionally thought to be an Arabic transliteration of Vandal, the Germanic tribe which briefly ruled the region in the early fifth century. The English name Andalusia derives from the Spanish Andalucia, which is still used by Spain to name its southern region. Not surprisingly, three religions attempting to coexist during medieval times resulted in nearly incessant conflicts.
