Synopsis

“A splendid study, surely one of the most important that has appeared on the whole matter of power and resistance.”—Natalie Zemon Davis Confrontations between the powerless and powerful are laden with deception—the powerless feign deference and the powerful subtly assert their mastery. Peasants, serfs, untouchables, slaves, laborers, and prisoners are not free to speak their minds in the presence of power. These subordinate groups instead create a secret discourse that represents a critique of power spoken behind the backs of the dominant. At the same time, the powerful also develop a private dialogue about practices and goals of their rule that cannot be openly avowed. In this book, renowned social scientist James C. Scott offers a penetrating discussion both of the public roles played by the powerful and powerless and the mocking, vengeful tone they display off stage—what he terms their public and hidden transcripts. Using examples from the literature, history, and politics of cultures around the world, Scott examines the many guises this interaction has taken throughout history and the tensions and contradictions it reflects.

    Lenin Lives?

    Lenin's work and influence have often been written off as no longer relevant, and many today consider this to be so. Lenin has, they claim, had his day, even though he is still revered in China, the world's most populous country. However, Lenin, like his mentor Marx, has had a tendency to rise from apparent decline and oblivion to renewed force and influence. 
     
     
     
    This study examines the key elements of Lenin's life and career, the consolidation of his ideas into the doctrines of "Leninism," the influence of Leninism in promoting revolutionary movements around the globe, and the currently disputed issue of whether his ideas still have any relevance today. In particular, while considering his views on the role of the revolutionary party, often seen as the centerpiece of his theory and practice, this account identifies the root of Lenin's global influence in his opposition to capitalist imperialism and as a bedrock foundation for the opposition of many to fascism and associated ideologies. While recognizing that Lenin's reputation has reached its lowest point, not least in his home country where his legacy is reviled by Vladimir Putin and other contemporary leaders, the book concludes by weighing up the contemporary arguments of those who believe that Lenin still lives.

    Welcome to Vietnam Macho Man -...

    This is hands down the most heartbreaking and thought provoking historical novel about Khe Sanh and even the Vietnam War you will ever have the honor to read. Other books are easier to read, yet none of them will leave you a believer like this book will. It is January, 1968 and Ernest returns to Khe Sanh from R&R to the opening of the longest battle in the Vietnam War. He is a Korean American Marine Commander and the Rifle Commander of Delta 6, leading over 250 men through the toughest of battles and conditions. The siege at Khe Sanh went on non-stop for 2.5 months. Life was shrunken to full time living inside bunkers, watching rations and supplies slide out the back of cargo planes as they flew low past Hill 881 and finding ways to remain hopeful while being unable to use camaraderie or communications to keep it real. What is to become of the survivors of this incredible battle? 
    Seldom is the author so true to himself and the memory of those lost that he is willing to blind others with their own tears and shame rather than sacrifice what he knows to be the true story. At the end of the book, the author, Ernest Spencer was faced with having to identify a casualty from his battalion. He says," Rodriguez is gone and I am still here. Why? I feel fear wash through me. They die while I watch. Who will care? How long will they care?" 
    Listen to this story and learn the haunting truths. It will probably make you feel uncomfortable. Take a few more moments and try to imagine first living the story and then laying it down on paper. It is our debt to read this book, in honor of those who have given more than we can ever imagine. And to remember what really mattered: the men and women who served and sacrificed for a country that has remained ungrateful. This book is pages and pages of heart and soul - bare naked anger, hate, suffering and despair. You will feel the weight of the Vietnam War in your hands.

    DEI Exposed puts the spotlight on a Big Con: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. 
    DEI gurus siphoned funds for education into social engineering programs. They suckered and swindled some of the smartest people in the U.S., cost universities dearly in terms of funds and reputation, and ruined the livelihoods of countless faculty members. 
    DEI has fueled antisemitism on college campuses and, ironically, robbed many students of fair treatment and freedom of speech-two things DEI advocates supposedly champion. 
    How did the hustlers pull it off? 
    This book documents the dubious credentials of DEI superstars, the use of cult conversion tactics on students, the cultivation of campus informants to instill fear and suspicion, and the lawsuits that reveal DEI's virulent racialism at a high cost to universities in bad publicity and legal damages. 
    DEI Exposed maps this corruption so that we can chart a course for a restoration of higher education for years to come. 
    Ridgley reveals the striking contradictions between DEI's stated aims and its practical effects. 
    - Ram Mudambi, Frank M. Speakman Professor of Strategy, Fox School of Business, Temple University 
    The DEI monster has continually sprouted new tentacles, and Ridgley has given us an account of how it came to be its lurid self. 
    - Bruce Gilley, author of The Case for Colonialism 
    With razor-sharp analysis, Ridgley dissects how higher education compromised itself, abandoning merit and intellectual vigor in favor of pseudoscience and ideological conformity. 
    - Nicholas Giordano, Professor of Political Science and host of The P.A.S. Report Podcast 
    Dr. Stanley K. Ridgley is Clinical Full Professor of Strategic Management at Drexel University. He holds a Doctorate and Master's in International Relations and Security from Duke University and an International MBA from Temple University. He is a Russian language linguist and former Military Intelligence Officer.
