Sinossi

"Moche Civilization" explores the fascinating pre-Columbian Andean society that thrived in ancient Peru for over six centuries. Going beyond the traditional view of the Moche as just a "warrior culture", the book delves into the intricate connections between their advanced irrigation systems, distinctive pottery, and societal structure. The Moche people were remarkably adept at environmental management, building sophisticated irrigation networks to cultivate crops in an arid landscape, demonstrating a crucial aspect of their ingenuity and helping sustain a thriving population.

 
The book examines the Moche's artistic prowess through their pottery, which served as a medium for religious expression, social hierarchy, and historical narratives. This pottery reveals a complex society with deeply ingrained beliefs and social strata.

 
The book is structured in four parts, beginning with the historical context, then progressing to their agricultural practices, artistic achievements, and finally, an exploration of their warrior ethos. This approach provides a holistic view of Moche society, its achievements, and its eventual decline. By drawing upon archaeological evidence and recent findings, the book offers a fresh perspective on the Moche, emphasizing the interconnectedness of their environmental adaptations, artistic traditions, and militaristic culture. It provides a nuanced understanding of their social, economic, and ideological systems, making it a valuable resource for students and anyone interested in ancient civilizations and pre-Columbian history.

    Utilitarianism is a moral theory that was developed by British philosopher John Stuart Mill in the 19th century. According to Mill, the ethical basis for decision-making should be the greatest happiness or pleasure for the greatest number of people. This principle is also known as the "greatest happiness principle." 
    Mill believed that human happiness was the ultimate goal of morality and that actions should be judged according to their ability to promote happiness. He argued that actions that bring about the greatest amount of happiness for the greatest number of people are morally right, while actions that lead to pain or suffering are morally wrong. 
    Mill believed that happiness should be measured by the amount of pleasure that people experience, and he distinguished between two types of pleasure: higher pleasures and lower pleasures. Higher pleasures are those that are associated with the intellect, such as the pursuit of knowledge or the appreciation of art, while lower pleasures are those that are associated with the body, such as the satisfaction of hunger or the gratification of sexual desire. According to Mill, higher pleasures are more desirable than lower pleasures because they are more intellectual and have a more lasting impact on a person's happiness. 
    Mill's utilitarianism has been influential in many areas of philosophy, including ethics, political philosophy, and social theory. His emphasis on the importance of promoting the happiness of the greatest number of people has been used to justify a wide range of policies and practices, including democracy, public health measures, and the redistribution of wealth. However, Mill's theory has also been criticized for its focus on pleasure and its potential to justify actions that are harmful to minorities or individuals.

    Reckons with violence against Black women in America and their resilient fight for liberation 
     
    America, Goddam explores the combined force of antiBlackness, misogyny, patriarchy, and capitalism in the lives of Black women and girls in the United States today. Through personal accounts and hard-hitting analysis, Black feminist  
    historian Treva B. Lindsey starkly assesses the forms and legacies of violence against Black women and girls, as well as their demands for justice for themselves and their communities. 
     
    Combining history, theory, and memoir, this book renders visible the gender dynamics of antiBlack violence. Black women and girls occupy a unique status of vulnerability to harm and death, while the circumstances and traumas of this  
    violence go underreported and understudied. Lindsey also shows that the sanctity of life and liberty of Black women is rarely the focus of Black freedom movements.  
     
    Defying this omission, Black women have led movements demanding justice for Breonna Taylor, Sandra Bland, Toyin Salau, Riah Milton, Aiyana Stanley-Jones, and countless other Black women and girls. Across generations and centuries, their  
    refusal to remain silent about violence against them led many to envisioning and building toward Black liberation through organizing and radical politics. Echoing the energy of Nina Simone’s searing protest song that inspired the title, America,  
    Goddam is a call to action in our collective journey toward just futures.

    Hair is potent. Its presence and its absence has profound influence upon our lives, across race, gender, sexuality, status, and more. It will grow in places you don't like and it may desert you – suddenly, or gradually. Whatever your experience, you have had a relationship with hair and its power. Kajal Odedra considers how hair has shaped society today, from the 'perfect' blondes in the school playground to the angry skinheads on the streets. Mohawks, wigs, afros, these are just a few of the ways in which hair has been part of history and wider activism. The word 'essay' derives from the French 'essayer', meaning 'to try' or 'to attempt'. This is Odedra's 'try' at hair – part memoir, part observation across history, politics, religion, and culture. Hair/Power explores the power, control and ultimate liberation that hair can provide.
