Sinossi

In "The Red Record," Ida B. Wells-Barnett meticulously compiles a harrowing chronicle of lynching in America, utilizing an amalgamation of statistical data, personal accounts, and passionate prose. This seminal work, published in 1895, serves not only as a historical documentation but also as a fervent call to action against racial violence. Wells-Barnett employs a clear, persuasive literary style, deftly navigating the complexities of racial injustice while shedding light on the life stories often overlooked by mainstream narratives. The book emerges from the tumultuous context of post-Reconstruction America, where systemic racism and mob violence pervaded society, challenging readers to confront uncomfortable truths about their nation's legacy. Ida B. Wells-Barnett was a pioneering African American journalist, educator, and activist whose own experiences with racial violence deeply informed her work. Born into slavery in 1862, her lifelong commitment to civil rights and social justice was fueled by both her personal indignations and her relentless pursuit of truth. Wells-Barnett's passion for investigative journalism and her role as a co-founder of the NAACP exemplify her dedication to reform, making her insights in

    At least one hysterectomy is performed every minute of the year, making it the most common gynecological surgery worldwide. By the age of sixty-five, one out of five people born with a uterus will have it removed. So, why do we seldom talk about this surgery? Highly performed yet overlooked, examining the paradox of hysterectomy begins to unravel the various problems with how we medically treat uteruses and the people who have them. 
     
     
     
    Get It Out weaves centuries of medical history with rich qualitative data from 100 women, trans men, and nonbinary people who had, want, or are considering hysterectomy. In compelling detail, Andréa Becker reveals how America’s healthcare system routinely deprives people of the ability to control their own bodies along race and gender lines. When people ask for a hysterectomy, they are often met with pushback: Are you sick enough? Old enough? Have you had enough babies? Will you regret this? How will your future husband feel about this? Yet this pushback is not equally experienced. While some people are barred access, others are ushered toward a hysterectomy. These contradictory recommendations reveal the persistent biases entrenched within healthcare. 
     
     
     
    Get It Out interrogates how little choice people with uteruses ultimately have over their reproductive health, and explores what these "choices" signify amid interlocking systems of inequality.

    The legend of Atlantis has fascinated historians, philosophers, and adventurers for centuries. First described by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, Atlantis was said to be a powerful and advanced civilization that mysteriously vanished beneath the sea. Despite being written over 2,000 years ago, Plato’s account continues to inspire countless theories, books, and even modern expeditions in search of this lost world. But was Atlantis ever real, or was it simply a metaphor for human folly? Understanding the origins of this myth is crucial to separating historical possibility from pure fantasy.  
      
    Plato’s dialogues, Timaeus* and *Critias, provide the earliest known description of Atlantis. According to him, the island was a technologically superior and wealthy society that existed around 9,000 years before his time. It was said to be located beyond the "Pillars of Hercules," now known as the Strait of Gibraltar. However, due to the moral corruption of its people, the gods allegedly punished Atlantis by submerging it beneath the waves. This dramatic tale has led to endless speculation about whether Plato based it on real events or simply crafted it as an allegory about the dangers of hubris and imperial overreach.  
      
    Interestingly, Atlantis is not the only story of a lost civilization. Cultures around the world have myths of great lands that disappeared under the ocean. In Hindu mythology, the ancient city of Dwarka was said to have been swallowed by the sea. The biblical tale of the Great Flood and even the legends of Lemuria and Mu suggest a shared human fascination with lost worlds. Some researchers argue that these stories could be echoes of real historical disasters, such as the sudden sinking of landmasses due to earthquakes, tsunamis, or rising sea levels. Could Atlantis be another version of these global flood myths?

    Il primo verbo che si studia, quando si comincia ad apprendere lo spagnolo, neanche a dirlo, è il verbo SER, ovvero il corrispondente castigliano dell’italiano ESSERE. 
    Si tratta di un verbo completamente irregolare, sia al presente che in altri tempi fondamentali dell’indicativo, come l’imperfetto e il preterito indefinido, che corrisponde al nostro passato remoto, solo che, soprattutto nello spagnolo che si parla in Ispano-America, si usa molto più frequentemente di quanto non facciamo noi italiani nella nostra Penisola.
