Sinossi

In "History of the Negro Race in America from 1619 to 1880 (Vol. 1&2)", George Washington Williams presents a meticulous examination of the African American experience from the inception of their presence in colonial America to the dawn of the Reconstruction era. Williams employs a blend of rigorous research and engaging prose, illuminating the struggles, achievements, and undeniable contributions of Black Americans amidst the oppressive structures of slavery and systemic racism. His narrative not only serves as a historical account but also as an indictment of the societal injustices faced by African Americans, revealing the intricate dynamics of race, culture, and identity in a transformative time. George Washington Williams was a pioneering African American historian, minister, and politician, whose own experiences as a descendant of freedmen profoundly influenced his scholarly pursuits. Born in 1849 in New Jersey, he witnessed the violent struggles of his community and was deeply motivated by the lack of comprehensive narratives concerning African American history. His scholarly dedication is not only reflective of his personal journey but also a commitment to raising awareness of the rich legacy of Black Americans amidst pervasive discrimination. This groundbreaking work is highly recommended for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of African American history. Williams's engaging style and thorough research serve to educate and inspire, making this text an essential addition to the libraries of scholars, students, and general readers alike who wish to grasp the complexities of race and the enduring spirit of resilience.

    Righteous Renegades: Once Hidden Heroes of the Holocaust 
    By Quentin Drummond Anderson 
    As the Nazi regime tightened its grip across Europe, four diplomats waged a silent battle with bureaucracy itself. Chiune Sugihara, Raoul Wallenberg, Varian Fry, and Aristides de Sousa Mendes defied their governments to save thousands during the Holocaust. 
    The Nazi genocide operated through meticulous documentation and legal decrees. Escape required someone willing to break these very rules. 
    Japanese consul Sugihara issued thousands of unauthorized transit visas from Lithuania. Swedish diplomat Wallenberg arrived in Budapest in 1944, using forged documents and safe houses to rescue Hungarian Jews. American journalist Fry transformed an assignment in Vichy France into a covert rescue operation for intellectuals and refugees. Portuguese consul Sousa Mendes granted visas to thousands in Bordeaux against direct orders. 
    Their heroism came at tremendous cost. Some faced professional ruin, while others vanished into Soviet captivity. Recognition as Righteous Among the Nations came decades later. 
    Through gripping storytelling and extensive research, Anderson examines the ethical dilemmas these men confronted. Each was bound by government duty yet found moral courage to disobey. The book explores power structures, bureaucratic indifference, and how a single signature determined life or death. 
    More than historical account, Righteous Renegades reflects on individual responsibility within systems of power. In today's world of refugee crises and political oppression, these lessons remain profoundly relevant. 
    For readers of Erik Larson, Deborah Lipstadt, and Timothy Snyder, this essential addition to Holocaust literature poses a timeless question: When faced with injustice, would you have the courage to act?

    Holy Roman Empire’s Conflicts...

    It has been famously pointed out that the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, but it was also not an empire in the sense people expect when hearing the term. In theory, the emperor was the highest prince in Christendom, and his dominion extended the length and breadth of Western Europe. The empire had been created by the papacy in 801 when Pope Leo the Third famously crowned the supposedly unwitting Charlemagne in Saint Peter’s Basilica, intending to recreate the Western Roman Empire. In truth, the imperial power did not extend beyond central Europe, which by the beginning of the 16th century included Germany, northern Italy, and the Netherlands. Even in these lands, however, the emperor struggled to command obedience. His dominion over northern Italy was theoretical only, the cities of the Netherlands were deeply conscious of their ancient rights and privileges, and Germany had long ceased to be compliant. The latter had become a collection of principalities, dukedoms and bishoprics which vied with each other and pursued their own agendas. They were, however, united in only one sense: denying the emperor power and resisting attempts to centralize the government.  
    	At the same time, the secular sovereigns frequently butted heads with religious authorities back in Rome, and arguably none of the conflicts were as crucial as the War of the Keys and the Investiture Controversy. The tensions between the Holy Roman Empire and Church over the power to invest bishops with authority led to decades of civil war in Germany on the way to establishing the relationship between Church and state, elevating the status of the papacy and weakening the Holy Roman Empire. What is crucial in understanding the conflicts is to not view them with the benefit of hindsight. Most importantly, no nation as people recognize it today yet existed, as England, France, Germany, and Italy were largely geographical expressions, not national identities.

    Even when it is accepted, recognised and known not many people seem to know what to DO ABOUT IT to heal it… The fact is being in a relationship with a narcissist over a long period of time has long lasting traumatic effects that can be extremely catastrophic to the person suffering them.

    - Strange dreams 
    - Sudden inexplicable anxiety followed by rapid dips into depression 
    The list goes on…. 
    “NOBODY UNDERSTANDS!” 
    I hear this frustrated cry from abused people a lot. 
    Gaslighting is crazy-making, it makes you think that you’re actually going crazy. 
    Gaslighting is a way of hiding the abuse. 
    Gaslighting is lying with a goal. 
    The motive behind the gaslighting is to make you think that you’re crazy or that your memory doesn’t work right. So you can’t trust yourself and your perceptions of reality.
