Synopsis

Salsa History explores the vibrant and complex story of salsa music, a globally recognized genre with surprisingly recent roots. The book traces salsa's journey from its diverse musical origins, including Cuban son and mambo, to its explosion in New York City and subsequent globalization. 

 
It highlights the fascinating cultural exchange that fueled salsa's creation, emphasizing how it's not simply a Cuban or Puerto Rican invention, but rather a hybrid genre born from the unique confluence of cultures in New York. The book uniquely emphasizes the perspectives of the musicians and dancers who shaped the genre. It adopts a narrative non-fiction style, blending historical research with engaging storytelling.

 
Beginning with the musical foundations in Cuba, the narrative shifts to New York City, highlighting the contributions of key figures and venues, before exploring salsa's spread across Latin America, Europe, and beyond. The book concludes by considering the contemporary landscape of salsa and its ongoing evolution.

    A Brilliant Commodity - Diamonds...

    During the late nineteenth century, tens of thousands of diggers, prospectors, merchants, and dealers extracted and shipped over 50 million carats of diamonds from South Africa to London. The primary supplier to the world, South Africa's diamond fields became one of the formative sites of modern capitalist production. At each stage of the diamond's route through the British empire and beyond—from Cape Town to London, from Amsterdam to New York City—carbon gems were primarily mined, processed, appraised, and sold by Jews. 
     
     
     
    In A Brilliant Commodity, historian Saskia Coenen Snyder traces how once-peripheral Jewish populations became the central architects of a new, global exchange of diamonds. Centuries of restrictions had limited Jews to trade and finance, businesses that often heavily relied on internal networks. Jews were well-positioned to become key players in the earliest stage of the diamond trade and its growth into a global industry. Relying on mercantile and familial ties across continents, Jews created a highly successful commodity chain that included buyers, brokers, cutters, factory owners, financiers, and retailers. 
     
     
     
    Working within a diasporic ethnic community that bridged city and countryside, metropole and colony, Jews helped build a flourishing diamond industry and a place for themselves in the modern world.

    A look at the history of psychiatry’s foundational impact on the lives of queer and gender-variant people. 
      
    In the mid-twentieth century, American psychiatrists proclaimed homosexuality a mental disorder, one that was treatable and amenable to cure. Drawing on a collection of previously unexamined case files from St. Elizabeths Hospital, In the Shadow of Diagnosis explores the encounter between psychiatry and queer and gender-variant people in the mid- to late-twentieth-century United States. It examines psychiatrists’ investments in understanding homosexuality as a dire psychiatric condition, a judgment that garnered them tremendous power and authority at a time that historians have characterized as psychiatry’s “golden age.” That stigmatizing diagnosis made a deep and lasting impact, too, on queer people, shaping gay life and politics in indelible ways. In the Shadow of Diagnosis helps us understand the adhesive and ongoing connection between queerness and sickness.

    Bridging Spirit and Science -...

    Spirit and Science are viewed as opposing views. I have lived my life in the middle of this divide. Trained as an engineer and scientist, I was taught to trust logic, mathematics, and experimental proof.  
    Yet my personal experiences — from moments of prophecy to direct awareness of subtle energies — convinced me that there is more to reality than conventional science admits.  
    For years I tried to keep the two worlds separate: the rational and the mystical. But over time, the boundary dissolved. I realized that both perspectives describe the same universe from different vantage points.  
    My work, and this book in particular, is about restoring the unity that once existed between them. 
    The purpose of this book is not to replace science with mysticism, nor to reduce spiritual experience to chemistry or neurology. Rather, it aims to show that consciousness, energy, and matter are aspects of a single integrated system.
