How modern data-driven government originated in the creation and use of administrative archives in the British Empire Over the span of two hundred years, Great Britain established, governed, lost, and reconstructed an empire that embraced three continents and two oceanic worlds. The British ruled this empire by correlating incoming information about the conduct of subjects and aliens in imperial spaces with norms of good governance developed in London. Officials derived these norms by studying the histories of government contained in the official records of both the state and corporations and located in repositories known as archives. As the empire expanded in both the Americas and India, however, this system of political knowledge came to be regarded as inadequate in governing the non-English people who inhabited the lands over which the British asserted sovereignty. This posed a key problem for imperial officials: What kind of knowledge was required to govern an empire populated by a growing number of culturally different people? Using files, pens, and paper, the British defined the information order of the modern state as they debated answers to this question. In tracing the rise and deployment of archives in early modern British imperial rule, Asheesh Kapur Siddique uncovers the origins of our data-driven present.Ver libro

“[Suleyman’s] narration brings a palpably chilling authority to a story she shouldn’t have to tell.” — Vulture A devastating personal testimony and a searing indictment of persistent misogyny. In January 2017, Chimene Suleyman was on her way to an abortion clinic in Queens, New York with her boyfriend, the father of her nascent child. It was the last day they would spend together. In an extraordinary sequence of events, Chimene was to discover the truth of her boyfriend's life: that the man she’d loved had gaslit, lied to, stolen from, and painfully betrayed her and many others. In this spellbinding memoir, Suleyman exposes one man's control over many women and the trauma he left behind and celebrates the sisterhood that formed in his wake despite—and in spite of—him. With radiant prose and incisive observation, Suleyman questions society’s complicity in allowing those who would do women harm to flourish and contemplates why others remain silent witnesses by accepting and normalizing shameless behavior towards women. She demonstrates how women themselves are acculturated to perform prescribed roles of giver and nurturer, to be self-sacrificing and subordinate, and to bolster the egos of others by remaining silent and ignoring their own protective instincts. A soul-baring story, brilliant cultural critique, and celebration of the healing power of sisterhood, The Chain is a book for any woman who has questioned her relationship and buried her doubts, for any woman who can't quite identify the source of her unease and for any woman who has been sheltered by the fierce protection of her female friends.Ver libro
In a world often narrated by male voices, "Notable Women Through the Ages" emerges as a resonant chorus of female stories, echoing through the corridors of time.This book is not just a collection of biographies; it's an intricately woven tapestry of lives that have shaped history in unspoken ways. We embark on a journey that meanders through the annals of history, uncovering the stories of women whose names might not echo in the halls of fame but whose contributions have been pivotal in the grand scheme of things.The resilience that led to Hypatia of Alexandria with their brilliant minds who defied her time and to the persistence that enabled Joan of Arc to overcome her difficult path. In this regard it focuses on the scientific genius of Marie Curie and artistic superiority of Frida Kahlo making us remember that talent has no gender. Each chapter unfolds a fresh aspect of women’s courage from politicians as Indira Gandhi and Angela Merkel down to the women fighting for social justice such as Rosa Parks and Malala Yousafzai.The more we read, we are accompanied by other lesser-known tough women such as unheard NASA mathematicians, anonymous heroines of wars and quiet fighters for art and literature revolution. “Notable Women Through the Ages” is not just a mere chronicle of achievements, but also traces all hardships and personal sacrifice required to accomplish such milestones in the society.It goes beyond being just a book to read; it’s an experience. The story of great women is a reminder that the historic narrative would remain incomplete without making references to them. Their stories of passion, grit, and strength do not read like mere footnotes in a textbook. Rather, they burn bright enough to light the way for those who follow. “Notable Women Through the Ages” is a dedication, an inspiration, and a legacy of the courage of woman-hood.Ver libro
