Sinopse

Micro Histories explores how seemingly insignificant events can profoundly reshape history. It argues that major social changes often originate from localized incidents and individual actions easily missed by traditional historical analyses. The book redirects our focus to granular details, revealing the substantial impact of small-scale events, such as the ripple effect of individual choices within communities or the transformative power of local cultural practices, on broader historical trajectories.

 
The book challenges deterministic views of history, highlighting human agency and offering a more nuanced understanding of societal evolution. Using a narrative non-fiction style, Micro Histories examines case studies across diverse geographical locations and time periods. These range from the social impact of specific local legal cases to the influence of grassroots religious movements.

 
Structured in three parts, the book begins by introducing micro-historical methodology and providing a theoretical framework. It then delves into case studies, analyzing their immediate context and societal consequences. Finally, it synthesizes findings to draw broader conclusions about the role of micro-level events in shaping history, offering a fresh perspective valuable for students of history, social sciences, and anyone interested in understanding social change.

  • The Myth That Made Us - How False Beliefs about Racism and Meritocracy Broke Our Economy (and How to Fix It) - cover

    The Myth That Made Us exposes how false narratives—of a supposedly post-racist nation, of the self-made man, of the primacy of profit- and shareholder value-maximizing for businesses, and of minimal government interference—have been used to excuse gross inequities and to shape and sustain the US economic system that delivers them. Jeff Fuhrer argues that systemic racism continues to produce vastly disparate outcomes and that our brand of capitalism favors doing little to reduce disparities. 
     
     
     
    Rather than merely laying blame at the feet of both conservatives and liberals for aiding and abetting an unjust system, Fuhrer charts a way forward. He supplements evidence from data with insights from community voices and outlines a system that provides more equal opportunity to accumulate both human and financial capital. His key areas of focus include universal access to high-quality early childhood education; more effective use of our community college system as a pathway to stable employment; restructuring key aspects of the low-wage workplace; providing affordable housing and transit links; supporting people of color by serving as mentors, coaches, and allies; and implementing Baby Bonds and Reparations programs. Fuhrer emphasizes embracing humility, research-based approaches, and community involvement as ways to improve economic opportunity.

    On a journey of discovery into her parents history of love and fame in war torn Italy, Adela Edgecombe discovered a secret deception within love letters and from family who had been tight-lipped about the scandals for decades.            Bestselling author Jincy Willett describes the story as follows: "Since every human personality is at root mysterious, all families present us with an abundance of mysteries, the chief of which is often how marriages ever happened in the first place. In her family memoir, Adela Edgecombe tackles that mystery head-on, uncovering a web of circumstances peculiar to place and time. The place is the Province of Salerno, Italy; the time,1944, the depths of World War II. A young American GI meets an impoverished Italian family, grows to care for them, and, as he leaves for the front, promises a nine-year-old child that one day he will return and help them. And does the man, against all odds, keep that promise? Judging from the fairy-tale wedding that took place in Passiano in 1951 and was featured in Life Magazine, it would seem so.           "Edgecombe explores that fairy tale moment, how it came to pass, and what followed after. She digs fearlessly into the mystery of an unhappy marriage that began with such photogenic joy and hope. Read Whispers of Betrayal for a well-researched, surprising, and moving tale which reminds us that the casualties of war are many and varied."
