Sinopse

A global study of how soldiers lived, worked, and fought, and how many died, spanning from the Napoleonic War to World War II. No matter the war, no matter the army, no matter the nationality, common threads run through the experiences of men at war. Soldiers highlights these shared experiences across 150 years of warfare, from the Napoleonic Wars through World War II and everything in between, such as the Mexican and Crimean Wars, the American Civil War, the U.S. Indian Wars and Britain’s imperial bush wars, the Boxer Rebellion, the Boer War, the First World War, and more. Haymond explores the experiences that connect soldiers across time and space and draws heavily from firsthand accounts to craft a narrative with flesh-and-blood immediacy. Soldiers is entertaining and informative: history at its best. Praise for Soldiers“What makes Soldiers an interesting read is Haymond’s writing style and technique of comparing the common experiences of fighting men regardless of uniform and time served during the period.... Highly recommended for both scholars and students alike. It is a must for readers interested in the experience and psychology of being a warrior during this period.”—Military Review: The Professional Journal of the United States Army

    This volume brings forward a descriptive approach to the translation and reception of African American women's literature in Spain. Drawing from a multidisciplinary theoretical and methodological framework, it traces the translation history of literature produced by African American women, seeking to uncover changing strategies in translation policies as well as shifts in interests in the target context, and it examines the topicality of this cohort of authors as frames of reference for Spanish critics and reviewers. Likewise, the reception of the source literature in the Spanish context is described by reconstructing the values that underlie judgements in different reception sources. Finally, this book addresses the specific problem of the translation of Black English into Spanish. More precisely, it pays attention to the ideological and the ethical implications of translation choices and the effect of the latter on the reception of literary texts.

    Shattered, battered, mistaken, forsaken, confused and abused all formerly defined me. My smile covered the shame, my laugh masked the pain and the lies made me go insane. Though this is my journey, I know I am not alone. FIGHT represents all those who are suffering in silence. All those who are depleted and defeated. And all those who desperately seek help and hope. This does not have to be the end, but just the beginning. I invite you to live my life with me through these pages of how I went from Battles to Breakthrough, from Sacrifice to Surrender and from FIGHT to Freedom!

    Capitalism, as an economic system, is based on private ownership of the means of production and the creation of goods or services for profit. In capitalist societies, market forces—supply and demand—determine the distribution of resources and wealth. This system is characterized by competition, limited government intervention, and the pursuit of profit. Over time, capitalism has evolved in response to global events, technological advancements, and changes in social and political structures. However, a fundamental aspect of capitalism that persists is the inherent inequality it creates. 
    Inequality in capitalist societies can be understood in several forms: wealth inequality, income inequality, and social inequality. Wealth inequality refers to the uneven distribution of assets like property, stocks, and savings, where a small percentage of the population controls a large share of the wealth. Income inequality, on the other hand, concerns the differences in wages and salaries among workers, managers, and capital owners. Social inequality arises from disparities in access to resources like education, healthcare, and housing, which are often shaped by economic factors. 
    At the heart of capitalist inequality is the idea that economic success is determined by individual effort, entrepreneurship, and market performance. While this promotes competition and innovation, it also leads to stark divides between the wealthy and the poor. Those who control capital—such as land, factories, or intellectual property—are in a position to accumulate wealth far faster than those who rely solely on their labor. This uneven accumulation of wealth deepens the divide between rich and poor, creating a cycle where the wealthy continue to grow their resources, while those at the bottom struggle to access basic needs.
