Sinopsis

In "Jewish Stories," Isaac Loeb Peretz delves into the rich tapestry of Jewish life through a collection of narratives that skillfully blend realism with folklore. Exhibiting a unique literary style that merges vivid characterization with poignant social commentary, these stories reflect the complexities of Jewish identity and experience in the face of modernity. Peretz's narrative prowess lies not only in his evocative prose but also in his ability to capture the nuances of cultural tradition while addressing contemporary issues, positioning these tales within the broader context of 19th-century Eastern European Jewish literature. Isaac Loeb Peretz, a pivotal figure in the Yiddish literary movement, was deeply influenced by his own experiences in a rapidly changing world shaped by political and social upheaval. His literary career was marked by a commitment to exploring themes of unity and identity, as well as the struggles faced by his community. Peretz's background as a lawyer and his exposure to various philosophical currents helped him forge a distinctive voice that resonates in his storytelling, ultimately providing a profound lens through which to view the Jewish experience. "Jewish Stories" is a must-read for anyone interested in the nexus of culture, history, and identity. Peretz's exploration of human emotion and cultural heritage invites readers to reflect on their own connections to tradition while simultaneously shining a light on the universal quest for belonging. These stories remain timeless, ensuring their relevance across generations.

    The current global order appears to be collapsing. Long forgotten challenges, such as the return of great power competition and the specter of nuclear war, demand fresh attention, while novel, complex, and menacing planetary crises ranging from climate and disease to emerging technology loom. Meanwhile, the United States—the most consequential nation in the international system, behaves erratically and seems willing to abandon its decades-long strategy of building strong alliances, countering authoritarianism and supporting openness. How should we understand these unsettling trends? 
    Wonder and Worry offers Francis J. Gavin’s best insights on the pressing, fundamental questions we face. Gavin’s answers are nuanced, counterintuitive, and often surprisingly optimistic in this incisive and accessible contemporary history for our uncertain age. 
    Francis J. Gavin is Giovanni Agnelli Distinguished Professor and Director of the Henry A. Kissinger Center for Global Affairs at Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, D C.

    Transformative change is often met with intense opposition, but we will not back down from the fight for social justice. 
    In a nation caught in the crosscurrents of progress and backlash, Weathering the Storm offers both a wake-up call and a balm for the weary. Psychologist and educator Dr. Tiffany G. Townsend draws from her decades of leadership in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), blending personal stories, historical analysis, and psychological expertise to equip us with tools for resistance and resilience. 
    With compassion, Dr. Townsend unpacks the tactics used to stifle equity including microaggressions, tokenism, gaslighting, and the systemic dismantling of DEI efforts with a concept she calls the "redemptionist playbook." This is not a book about despair. It's a call to radical hope. 
    Grounded in psychological research and cultural history, Weathering the Storm offers a blueprint for navigating personal and professional spaces. Through strategies like self-care as resistance, spiritual grounding, collective action, and effective allyship, Dr. Townsend reminds us that well-being and activism are not mutually exclusive; they are intimately intertwined. 
    This guide is for anyone who has ever felt worn down by injustice, disillusioned by regression, or isolated in their advocacy. It offers validation, empowerment, and above all, the reminder that the fight for justice is a long arc that we will ultimately bend together.
