Sinossi

In 'When Africa Awakes,' Hubert H. Harrison masterfully intertwines political advocacy with literary expression, delivering a call to consciousness for African Americans and the global African diaspora. Written in the early 20th century, Harrison'Äôs eloquent prose reflects the period's urgent demands for racial justice and self-determination. His work is steeped in the richness of African American culture while engaging with contemporary issues of colonialism and liberation, positioning the text within a broader socio-political context. Harrison'Äôs distinct literary style combines passionate rhetoric with insightful critiques, making it both a rallying cry and a profound commentary on racial identity. Hubert H. Harrison, often referred to as the "Father of Harlem Radicalism," was a prolific writer and orator whose life experiences as a child of immigrants in a racially segregated society profoundly shaped his worldview. Influenced by the global currents of Pan-Africanism and socialism, he sought not only to uplift his community but also to empower Africans in their fight against oppression. His own journey from the West Indies to becoming a key figure in the Harlem Renaissance informs the fervent and candid spirit of 'When Africa Awakes.' This book is a vital read for anyone seeking to understand the roots of African American intellectual thought and activism. Harrison'Äôs powerful insights are as relevant today as they were at the time of writing, making it essential for scholars, activists, and readers invested in issues of race, identity, and social justice.

    From cupcakes to pies to iced coffee drinks, sugar is found in many foods and is almost impossible to avoid. Emotional or psychological dependence on sugary foods and beverages, also known as sugar addiction, is a fundamental cause of concern for health officials in America. Processed foods and refined grains create additional sugar in the body once the body metabolizes the food. Sugar in moderation is not harmful; however, many overdo it. A recent study suggests Americans eat far too much sugar. Specifically, approximately 75% of Americans eat excessive amounts of sugar, many of whom could be classified as having a sugar addiction.Sugar consumption can create a short-term high and a spark of energy in the body. Some studies have suggested sugar is as addictive as cocaine. People often enjoy the dopamine release sugar brings. However, due to the addictive nature of sugar, long-term health effects like obesity and diabetes are a risk of sugar overindulgence. Like other compulsions or behavioral addictions, sugar addiction is a risk for people with low moods, anxiety, and stress.This book explored sugar use, as an additive process, through the lens of emotional regulation, addressing the research question: What is the lived experience of emotional regulation through sugar addiction? This book aimed to a greater understanding of the interdependent nature of sugar and emotions. What might a sugar-addicted population express that facilitates recovery and emotional regulation? The lived experience revealed that envy, deprivation, fear of sugar control, and lack of support from authority figures contributed to an inability to get enough comfort foods or stop overconsumption and to feelings of guilt, shame, and loss.

    In 2007, three Muslim university students left the Canadian Prairies, seemingly without a trace. In the ensuing months, their disappearance raised fears that the men had become "radicalized," posing a grave threat to national security. From presidential briefings and targeted drone assassinations to a politically charged trial, the men's story sheds new light not only on the figure of the "radical," but also on the "moderate" Muslim, represented by a community forever changed by the men's departure. 
     
     
     
    Homegrown Radicals offers a case study of the complex entanglements of the radical and moderate Muslim in post-9/11 North America. Youcef Soufi brings these figures together, providing insight into how state violence has inextricably tied them together. Focusing on the radicalization of the three students, the book traces the general sense of affective injury among North American Muslims over the loss of Muslim life in Western military campaigns overseas. In this context, a new theory of jihad rooted in a Muslim utopian imagination emerged, marking a significant rupture with premodern Islamic thought. The three "radicals" were among thousands of Anglophone Muslims who found this new theory compelling as both a diagnosis and a solution to the violence unleashed in the War on Terror. The book examines how and why this theory resonated, as well as its consequences.
