Ethiopia - History of the Ethiopian Middle Ages Colony and Civil War

Kelly Mass

Beschreibung

Ethiopian civilization, one of Africa's most ancient, boasts a history spanning millennia. The Kingdom of Aksum, a dominant force from the early first century, played a pivotal role in shaping Ethiopian national identity through sociopolitical assimilation. Over the next 700 years, the Ethiopian Empire (Abyssinia) expanded, absorbing diverse Afro-Asian-speaking populations through migration and imperial expansion.

In the 10th century BC, the kingdom of D'mt, with its capital at Yeha, emerged as one of the early powers in the region. The Aksumite Kingdom, rising to prominence in the Tigray Region in the first century AD, expanded its influence along the Red Sea, subjugating Yemen and Meroe. Christianity was declared the state religion during the reign of Ezana in the early fourth century, marking a significant development. The Aksumites began identifying themselves as "Ethiopians," a term later acknowledged by foreign authors like Philostorgius. The rise of Islam in the Arabian peninsula led to the decline of the Aksumite empire, as trade shifted away, causing economic collapse. By the 13th century, the Zagwe dynasty succeeded the Aksumites, eventually giving way to the Solomonic dynasty, which ushered in a period of military advancements and imperial expansion.

Wild Girls - How the Outdoors...

Tiya Miles

Harriet Tubman, forced to labor outdoors on a Maryland plantation, learned from the land a terrain for escape. Louisa May Alcott ran wild, eluding gendered expectations in New England. The Indigenous women's basketball team from Fort Shaw, Montana, recaptured a sense of pride in physical prowess as they trounced the white teams of the 1904 World's Fair. Celebrating women like these who acted on their confidence outdoors, Wild Girls brings new context to misunderstood icons like Sacagawea and Pocahontas, and to underappreciated figures like Native American activist writer Zitkála-Šá, farmworkers' champion Dolores Huerta, and labor and Civil Rights organizer Grace Lee Boggs. 
 
 
 
This work of history puts girls of all races—and the landscapes they loved—at center stage and reveals the impact of the outdoors on women's independence, resourcefulness, and vision. For these trailblazing women of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, navigating the woods, following the stars, playing sports, and taking to the streets in peaceful protest were not only joyful pursuits, but also techniques to resist assimilation, racism, and sexism. Lyrically written and full of archival discoveries, Wild Girls evokes landscapes as richly as the girls who roamed in them—and argues for equal access to outdoor spaces for young women of every race and class today.

A Preface to Paradise Lost

C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis’s illuminating reflections on Milton’s Paradise Lost, the seminal classic that profoundly influenced Christian thought as well as Lewis’s own.
In Preface to Paradise Lost, the Christian apologist and revered scholar and professor of literature closely examines the style, content, structure, and themes of Milton’s masterpiece, a retelling of the biblical story of the Fall of Humankind, Satan’s temptation, and the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. Considering the story within the context of the Western literary tradition, Lewis offers invaluable insights into Paradise Lost and the nature of literature itself, unveiling the poem’s beauty and its wisdom.
Lewis explains and defends the literary form known as “Epic,” pondering simple yet perceptive questions such as: What is an Epic? Why, in the seventeenth century, did Milton choose to write his story in this style? In what sense is Paradise Lost similar to the Homeric poems or the Anglo Saxon Beowulf? In what sense did Milton develop Virgil’s legacy?
With the clarity of thought and style that are the hallmarks of his writing, Lewis provides answers with a lucidity and lightness that deepens our understanding of this literary form and both illuminates Milton’s immortal epic and its meaning and inspires readers to revisit it. Ultimately, he reminds us why elements including ritual, splendor, and joy deserve to exist and hold a sacred place in human life.
One of Lewis’s most revered scholarly works, Preface to Paradise Lost is indispensable for literature, philosophy, and religion scholars and for ardent fans of Lewis’s writings.

Answer to Job

C. G. Jung

Of all the books of the Bible, few have had more resonance for modern listeners than the Book of Job.  
 
For a world that over the past century has witnessed horrors the like of which could not have been imagined by earlier generations, Job’s cries of despair and incomprehension are all too recognisable. The visionary psychotherapist Carl Gustav Jung understood this and responded with this remarkable book, in which he set himself face to face with 'the unvarnished spectacle of divine savagery and ruthlessness'.  
 
Jung perceived in the hidden recesses of the human psyche the cause of a crisis that plagues modern humanity and leaves the individual, like Job, isolated and bewildered in the face of impenetrable fortune. By correlating the transcendental with the unconscious, Jung, writing not as a biblical scholar but 'as a layman and physician who has been privileged to see deeply into the psychic life of many people', offers a way for every listener to come to terms with the divine darkness which confronts each individual.  
 
Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) founded the analytical school of psychology and developed a radical new theory of the unconscious. Translated by R. F. C. Hull.
