Migration and Identity

Summary

"Migration and Identity" explores how the movement of people, particularly indigenous populations, across borders reshapes their cultural and personal identities. It examines the profound impact of migration as a catalyst for cultural transformation, leading to both resilience and displacement. The book highlights the disruption of traditional social structures and the emergence of hybrid identities, demonstrating that while migration inevitably alters cultural landscapes, indigenous communities actively negotiate their identities through adaptation, resistance, and reinvention. The book is structured to provide a comprehensive understanding of the effects of migration beginning with core concepts, exploring historical contexts, and focusing on specific case studies. For example, diasporic communities often employ strategies to maintain their cultural heritage through language, art, and rituals. The book uses ethnographic fieldwork, oral histories, archival documents, and demographic data to provide a nuanced understanding of cultural preservation. What makes this book valuable is its focus on the agency of indigenous peoples, highlighting their resilience in adapting to new environments. It fosters interdisciplinary connections across fields such as anthropology, sociology, and history, offering a holistic perspective in an increasingly globalized world. This approach provides insights relevant to policy-making and organizations supporting indigenous communities, addressing ongoing debates surrounding cultural appropriation and the ethics of migration policies.

Future of Truth The (and How to...

Lindley Gooden

Lindley's groundbreaking book tells the true story of mis- and dis-information, why we've fallen so hard for them both, and how every one of us can fight back. 
We’re living through the post-truth years, where it can feel almost impossible to separate fact from fiction in the information that we’re fed. But is it possible to escape the opinions created by false information and fake news, spread by our closest loved ones, friends, right up to world leaders? 
Yes. There is hope. 
The second edition of The Future of Truth (and How to Get There) unmasks the tell-tale signs that manipulation leaves behind – even in a post-truth world. We build up an essential toolkit to stop, step back from and sidestep misinformation and disinformation wherever our timelines take us. Through neuroscience, conspiracy beliefs, journalism, politics and AI, we’ll take a journey to alt-reality and back to build a happier, healthier future of truth.

Pandemic Diaries - The inside...

Isabel Oakeshott, Matt Hancock

When Covid-19 swept the world, governments scrambled to protect their citizens and chart a course back to normality. As Health Secretary, Matt Hancock was at the forefront of Britain's battle against the virus, trying to steer the country through the crisis in a world where information was scarce, judgements huge and the roadmap non-existent.
Drawing on a wealth of never-before-seen material, including official records, his notes at the time and communications with all the key players in Britain's Covid-19 story, this candid account reveals the inner workings of government during a time of national crisis, reflecting on both the successes and the failures.
Recounting the most important decisions in the race to develop a vaccine in record time and to build a nationwide testing capacity from the ground up, Pandemic Diaries provides the definitive account of Britain's battle to turn the tide against Covid-19. Crucially, it also offers an honest assessment of the lessons we need to learn to be prepared for next time – because there will be a next time.

The Sign-Language of...

Gerald Massey

The origin of a saviour in the guise of a little child is traceable to Child-Horus, who brought new life to Egypt every year as the Messu of the inundation. This was Horus in his pre-solar and pre-human characters of the fish, the shoot of the papyrus, or the branch of the endless years. In a later stage the image of Horus on his papyrus represented the young god as solar cause in creation. But in the primitive phase it was a soul of life or of food ascending from the water in vegetation, as he who climbs the stalk, ranging from Child-Horus to the Polynesian hero, and to Jack ascending heavenward by means of his bean-stalk. –from “The Sign Language of Astronomical Mythology” It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a “hidden history” of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey’s massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World–first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar–redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs.
