Summary

In "Mob Rule in New Orleans," Ida B. Wells-Barnett presents a searing examination of the lynching epidemic that ravaged the late 19th-century South, specifically focusing on the violent upheaval following the impeachment of New Orleans' Mayor. Employing a journalistic style infused with passionate rhetoric, Wells-Barnett meticulously documents the societal and racial dynamics that fueled mob violence, thereby situating her work within the broader context of the civil rights movement. Her prose is both confrontational and impassioned, compelling readers to confront the horrors of racial injustice and the complicity of societal structures that permitted such brutality. Ida B. Wells-Barnett, an African American journalist, suffragist, and civil rights activist, was motivated by her first-hand experiences with racial violence and injustices, particularly after the lynching of close friends in Memphis. Her tireless advocacy against lynching established her as a pivotal figure in American social reform. Drawing on her extensive research and firsthand accounts, she wrote this book as a clarion call to awaken the conscience of the American public and challenge complacency regarding racial violence. "Mob Rule in New Orleans" is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the historical roots of racial terror in America. Wells-Barnett's poignant analysis resonates today, providing invaluable insights into the ongoing struggles against systemic racism and injustice. This book not only enlightens but also empowers readers to confront the lingering legacies of race relations in contemporary society.

    Throughout American history, some social movements, such as organized labor and the Christian Right, have forged influential alliances with political parties, while others, such as the antiwar movement, have not. When Movements Anchor Parties provides a bold new interpretation of American electoral history by examining five prominent movements and their relationships with political parties.Taking readers from the Civil War to today, Daniel Schlozman shows how two powerful alliances—those of organized labor and Democrats in the New Deal, and the Christian Right and Republicans since the 1970s—have defined the basic priorities of parties and shaped the available alternatives in national politics. He traces how they diverged sharply from three other major social movements that failed to establish a place inside political parties—the abolitionists following the Civil War, the Populists in the 1890s, and the antiwar movement in the 1960s and 1970s. Moving beyond a view of political parties simply as collections of groups vying for preeminence, Schlozman explores how would-be influencers gain influence—or do not. He reveals how movements join with parties only when the alliance is beneficial to parties, and how alliance exacts a high price from movements. Their sweeping visions give way to compromise and partial victories. Yet as Schlozman demonstrates, it is well worth paying the price as movements reorient parties' priorities.Timely and compelling, When Movements Anchor Parties demonstrates how alliances have transformed American political parties.

    It should have been Rebecca Schiller's dream come true: moving her young family to the English countryside to raise goats and coax their own fruit and vegetables from the land. But, as she writes: The summer of striding out toward a life of open fields and sacks of corn, I brought a confused black hole of something pernicious but not yet acknowledged along for the ride. 
     
     
     
    Rebecca's health begins to crumble, with bewildering symptoms: frequent falls, uncontrollable rages, and mysterious lapses in memory. As she fights to be seen by specialists, her fledgling homestead—and her family—hang by increasingly tenuous threads. And when her diagnosis finally comes, it is utterly unexpected: severe ADHD. 
     
     
     
    In her scramble for answers, Rebecca's consciousness alternately sears with pinpoint focus and spirals with connections. Childhood memories resurface with new meaning, and her daily life entwines with the history of women who tended this land before her. Her family weathers their growing pains where generations of acorns have fallen to rise again as trees, where ancient wolves and lynx once stalked the shadows. Written in unsparing, luminous prose, this is an all-absorbing memoir of one woman's newfound neurodivergence—and a clarion call to overturn the narrative that says minds are either normal and good or different and broken.

    Nazi party and the occultism

    Occult figures undoubtedly played a significant role in the formation of the NSDAP, but it is equally obvious that leading Nazis later denounced and persecuted occult groups. Occult "true believers" in the party ranks were frequently marginalized and persecuted as the Nazi Party gained prominence and power after 1919. 
    In any case, a surprising number of people in the Third Reich were open to occult beliefs and practices, including senior figures like Hitler and Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS and Gestapo. 
    Without a widespread propensity for paranormal thinking, which Hitler and the Nazi Party rushed to capitalize on and was exacerbated by military defeat and social crisis, the Third Reich would have been highly improbable. The National Socialist movement was not the first to use religious sentiment for political gain. However, Hitler's NSDAP was far more successful than other parties in appealing to a generation traumatized by war, violence, and sociopolitical upheaval by appealing to a supernatural imagination.
