    In a world where Rome never truly fell, the second breath of the republic surges outward—not by force, but by reason, resilience, and reform. 
    Pax Romana Reimagined continues the journey of the Concordian Republic as it navigates the growing pains of survival and rebirth. No longer content with merely holding the center, the republic expands outward: into the wild lands of Gaul, the intellectual depths of the East, and the shifting trade winds of Africa and Asia. 
    As new threats rise and old beliefs are tested, the republic embraces bold innovation: building roads that span continents, codifying a modern civic law, empowering inventors and women, and defending itself not only with legions, but with learning. This volume explores how a society reimagines its purpose—not around emperors or divine lineage, but through education, cooperation, and a vision that transcends borders. 
    From the volcanic ash of Vesuvius to the scrolls of a Silk Road senate, and from merchant councils to the homes of ordinary citizens, Pax Romana Reimagined reveals a republic reborn—stronger, wiser, and deeply human.

    A provocative examination of how religious practices of forgetting drive white Christian nationalism. 
      
    The dual traumas of colonialism and slavery are still felt by Native Americans and African Americans as victims of ongoing violence toward people of color today. In The Feeling of Forgetting, John Corrigan calls attention to the trauma experienced by white Americans as perpetrators of this violence. By tracing memory’s role in American Christianity, Corrigan shows how contemporary white Christian nationalism is motivated by a widespread effort to forget the role race plays in American society. White trauma, Corrigan argues, courses through American culture like an underground river that sometimes bursts forth into brutality, terrorism, and insurrection. Tracing the river to its source is a necessary first step toward healing.

    Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, also known as Srila Prabhupāda, was a prominent spiritual leader and revivalist of the Gaudīya Vaisnava tradition in early 20th-century India. He was born Bimala Prasad Datt on 6 February 1874 in the town of Jagannath Puri, in the present-day state of Odisha, India. As a child, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati showed great intellectual potential, and he received a thorough education in Sanskrit, philosophy, and theology from his father, a renowned scholar, and Vaishnava monk. After completing his studies, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati became a professor of Sanskrit and philosophy at Calcutta University. 
     
    In 1918, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati founded the Gaudiya Math, a religious institution aimed at reviving and promoting the teachings of the Gaudīya Vaisnava tradition. He also initiated a series of reforms within the tradition, emphasizing the importance of scriptural study, the necessity of devotional service to Krishna, and the rejection of sectarianism and caste-based discrimination. Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati was a prolific writer and scholar who authored numerous books and articles on Vaisnava philosophy and theology. He also trained many disciples, including A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who later founded the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) and became a major figure in the spread of the Hare Krishna movement in the West. Sarasvati passed away on 1 January 1937, but his legacy continues to inspire and guide followers of the Gaudīya Vaisnava tradition. He is remembered for his tireless efforts to revive and promote the teachings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the founder of the Gaudīya Vaisnava tradition, and for his commitment to spreading the message of devotional service and love of God.
