Sinopse

Dollar Dominance Rise explores how the U.S. dollar ascended to become the world's primary reserve currency, focusing on the pivotal Bretton Woods Agreement. This book examines the economic, political, and historical factors that solidified the dollar's dominance in global finance. The narrative begins before Bretton Woods, detailing the gold standard's limitations, such as the challenges of fixed exchange rates during economic shocks.

One key insight is how the agreement, intended to stabilize international finance, inadvertently cemented U.S. dollar dominance due to America's economic strength and strategic policy decisions. The book meticulously recounts the negotiations that established the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. It then analyzes the Bretton Woods system's operation, highlighting the dollar's role as an anchor currency convertible to gold.

The unraveling of this system in the late 1960s and early 1970s, culminating in Nixon's suspension of dollar-gold convertibility, marks a crucial turning point described in detail. Despite this collapse, the dollar has largely maintained its dominance, a phenomenon explored in the book's later chapters.

Using archival documents and statistical data, Dollar Dominance Rise bridges economics, political science, and history to reveal how international monetary policy is shaped by national interests and global power dynamics. It offers a comprehensive analysis valuable to students, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of the international monetary system and the U.S. Dollar's lasting impact on World History and Economic History.

Natives against Nativism -...

Olivia C. Harrison

For the past fifty years, the Palestinian question has served as a rallying cry in the struggle for migrant rights in postcolonial France, from the immigrant labor associations of the 1970s and Beur movements of the 1980s to the militant decolonial groups of the 2000s. In Natives against Nativism, Olivia C. Harrison explores the intersection of anticolonial solidarity and antiracist activism from the 1970s to the present. 
 
 
 
Natives against Nativism analyzes a wide range of texts—novels, memoirs, plays, films, and militant archives—that mobilize the twin figures of the Palestinian and the American Indian in a crossed critique of Eurocolonial modernity. Harrison argues that anticolonial solidarity with Palestinians and Indigenous Americans has been instrumental in developing a sophisticated critique of racism across imperial formations—in this case, France, the United States, and Israel. 
 
 
 
Serving as the first relational study of antiracism in France, Natives against Nativism observes how claims to indigeneity have been deployed in multiple directions, both in the ongoing struggle for migrant rights and racial justice, and in white nativist claims in France today.

The Book Of Earths

Edna Kenton

This is a compendium of theories of the shape of the Earth, along with a great deal of 'Earth Mystery' lore. Richly illustrated, the Book of Earths includes many unusual theories, including Columbus' idea that the Earth is literally pear-shaped, modern theories that the Earth was originally tetrahedral, and so on. Kenton also covers many traditional theories including the ancient Babylonians and Egyptians, Hindu and Buddhist cosmology, and those of the Peruvians, Aztecs and Mongols. She also discusses modern alternative theories such as that of Reed and Koresh. Strangely enough, she misses or ignores the modern flat earth theory of Rowbotham. This is the only apparent omission in this definitive study. Kenton has no apparent axe to grind: this is simply a very readable survey of the literature if you have any interest in 'Earth mysteries"
