Synopsis

Archive Discoveries explores how newly uncovered historical documents and artifacts are reshaping our understanding of world history. By examining primary sources, the book reveals how these finds challenge established narratives. For example, the rediscovery of previously unknown treaties can drastically alter our perception of past diplomatic relations, while personal letters might illuminate the lived experiences of ordinary people, adding depth to social history. These discoveries aren't just additions to existing knowledge; they force us to re-evaluate our historical frameworks.

 
The book begins by examining the nature of archives and their potential biases, then progresses through case studies organized thematically, covering political, social, cultural, and intellectual history. It emphasizes the importance of historical research and interpretation, highlighting how insights from fields like archaeology and political science contribute to a more holistic understanding.

 
Ultimately, Archive Discoveries demonstrates the dynamic nature of historical understanding, inviting readers to engage critically with historical narratives and consider alternative interpretations of the past.

    Social justice work, we often assume, is raised voices and raised fists. But what does it look like for those of us who don't feel comfortable battling in the trenches? Sustaining justice work can be particularly challenging for the sensitive, and it requires a deep level of self-awareness. 
     
     
     
    In Social Justice for the Sensitive Soul, writer Dorcas Cheng-Tozun offers six possible pathways for sensitive types: Connectors: relational activists whose interactions and conversations build the social capital necessary for change; Creatives: artists and creators whose work inspires, sheds light, makes connections, and brings issues into the public consciousness; Record Keepers: archivists who preserve essential information and hold our collective memory and history; Builders: inventors, programmers, and engineers who center empathy as they develop society-changing products and technologies; Equippers: educators, mentors, and elders who build skills and knowledge within movements and shepherd the next generation of changemakers; and Researchers: data-driven individuals who utilize information as a persuasive tool to effect change and propose options for improvement. 
     
     
     
    Cheng-Tozun expands the possibilities of how to have a positive social impact, affirming the particular gifts and talents that sensitive souls offer to a hurting world.

    Why did independent Singapore celebrate two hundred years of its founding as a British colony in 2019? What does Merdeka mean for Singaporeans? And what are the possibilities of doing decolonial history in Singapore? Raffles Renounced: Towards a Merdeka History presents essays by historians, literary scholars and artists which grapple with these questions. The volume also reproduces some of the source material used in the play Merdeka / 獨立 / சுதந்திரம் (Wild Rice, 2019). Taken together, the book shows how the contradictions of independent nationhood haunt Singaporeans' collective and personal stories about Merdeka. It points to the need for a Merdeka history: an open and fearless culture of historical reckoning that not only untangles us from colonial narratives, but proposes emancipatory possibilities.

    Philip Kindred Dick (December 16, 1928 - March 2, 1982) was an American author who wrote 44 novels and about 121 short stories, most of which appeared in science fiction magazines during his lifetime. His fiction explored varied philosophical and social questions such as the nature of reality, perception, and identity, and commonly featured characters struggling against alternate realities, illusory environments, monopolistic corporations, authoritarian governments, and altered states of consciousness. Dick's posthumous influence extended beyond literary circles into Hollywood. Popular films based on his works include Blade Runner, Total Recall, Minority Report, and The Adjustment Bureau. This recording is from a speech Dick gave in France in 1977.
