Sinopse

Mapungubwe Cultural Layers explores the archaeological site of Mapungubwe, a pre-colonial kingdom in southern Africa, to reveal insights into the origins of social hierarchy and complex political systems. Flourishing between 1220 AD and 1300 AD, Mapungubwe offers a unique lens through which to understand the region's pre-colonial history. The book examines the evolution of regional trade networks and the genesis of leadership models, arguing that Mapungubwe represents a pivotal moment in the development of social and political complexity.

 
The book progresses through a detailed examination of Mapungubwe's archaeological layers, beginning with an introduction to the geographical and historical context of Iron Age southern Africa. It meticulously analyzes evidence of social class divisions, such as differentiated burial practices, including the elite burials containing the famous gold rhinoceros. The investigation extends into the sophisticated trade systems that sustained Mapungubwe and the emergence of early forms of governance, highlighting the kingdom's influence on subsequent African societies.

 
By integrating archaeological data, scientific insights, and oral histories, Mapungubwe Cultural Layers provides a comprehensive picture of life in this significant African kingdom. The book connects archaeology with anthropology, history, and political science, critically examining how the study of Mapungubwe informs broader debates about the origins of social inequality and the diversity of leadership models in pre-colonial Africa.

    A trusted grief expert shares advice on how to navigate the loss of a loved one in this incisive and compassionate guide: “calm, lucid prose… humanizing exploration of coping with the life-changing tides of loss” (Kirkus Reviews).In Grief is Love, author Marisa Renee Lee reveals that healing does not mean moving on after losing a loved one—healing means learning to acknowledge and create space for your grief. It is about learning to love the one you lost with the same depth, passion, joy, and commitment you did when they were alive, perhaps even more. She guides you through the pain of grief—whether you’ve lost the person recently or long ago—and shows you what it looks like to honor your loss on your unique terms, and debunks the idea of a grief stages or timelines.  Grief is Love is about making space for the transformation that a significant loss requires. In beautiful, compassionate prose, Lee elegantly offers wisdom about what it means to authentically and defiantly claim space for grief’s complicated feelings and emotions. And Lee is no stranger to grief herself, she shares her journey after losing her mother, a pregnancy, and, most recently, a cousin to the COVID-19 pandemic. These losses transformed her life and led her to question what grief really is and what healing actually looks like. In this book, she also explores the unique impact of grief on Black people and reveals the key factors that proper healing requires: permission, care, feeling, grace and more. The transformation we each undergo after loss is the indelible imprint of the people we love on our lives, which is the true definition of legacy. At its core, Grief is Love explores what comes after death, and shows us that if we are able to own and honor what we’ve lost, we can experience a beautiful and joyful life in the midst of grief.

  • These Divided Isles - Britain and Ireland Past and Future - cover

    These Divided Isles - Britain...

    Ireland is Britain's closest neighbor—the sea crossing from Scotland measures only twelve miles. Ireland was also its first conquered territory in what became Britain's empire. The two nation's stories have been intertwined since Anglo-Norman invaders crossed the Irish Sea during the twelfth century. 
     
     
     
    These Troubled Isles tells the extraordinary history of the past century in this tumultuous relationship, from the Anglo-Irish treaty of 1922 to the present day. This is a tale of deep division between Catholic nationalism and Protestant unionism, of wars and terrorist violence, and of occasional moments of great courage on the part of British and Irish leaders. 
     
     
     
    Today, the post-Brexit weakening of the United Kingdom's constitutional ties has coincided with the march of demography in Northern Ireland as the Protestant unionist majority continues to shrink. Sinn Féin's historic string of electoral victories in Northern Ireland since 2022 has once more resurfaced the unfinished business of partition. Here, Philip Stephens explores how Ireland might escape its troubled past by deploying history to inform the future rather than hold it in place.
