Summary

Nubian Kingdoms unveils the captivating history of Nubia, a civilization that flourished south of Egypt. This book explores Nubia's unique cultural identity, its complex relationship with Egypt, and the political might wielded by Nubian rulers. For centuries, Nubia and Egypt were deeply intertwined, with Nubian influence at times even surpassing that of its more famous neighbor. The book challenges the conventional view of Nubia as a mere extension of Egypt, revealing it as a dynamic and independent civilization.

 
The book traces Nubia's journey from the early Kerma culture through the powerful Kingdom of Kush and the later Meroitic period. It examines archaeological findings, such as Nubian cities and temples, alongside Egyptian inscriptions and classical accounts. Through a comparative analysis of Nubian and Egyptian cultures, Nubian Kingdoms illuminates Nubia's distinct identity.

 
Beginning with Nubia's geographical setting, the book progresses through periods of Egyptian domination, the Kushite conquest of Egypt, and the cultural developments of Meroe. It offers a comprehensive view of Nubian society by analyzing its art, religion, and social structures. This approach provides a holistic understanding of Nubia's place in world history, moving beyond Egypt-centric narratives.

Not Paved for Us - Black...

Camika Royal, Gloria...

This illuminating book offers an extensive, expert analysis of a school system that bears the legacy, hallmarks, and consequences that lie at the intersection of race and education. Urban education scholar Camika Royal deftly analyzes decades of efforts aimed at improving school performance within the School District of Philadelphia (SDP), in a brisk survey spanning every SDP superintendency from the 1960s through 2017. 
 
 
 
Royal interrogates the history of education and educational reforms, recounting city, state, and federal interventions. Her survey provides sociopolitical context and rich groundwork for a nuanced examination of why many large urban districts struggle to implement reforms with fidelity and in ways that advance Black students academically and holistically. 
 
 
 
In a bracing critique, Royal bears witness to the ways in which positive public school reform has been obstructed: through racism and racial capitalism, but also via liberal ideals, neoliberal practices, and austerity tactics. 
 
 
 
Not Paved for Us highlights the experiences of Black educators as they navigate the racial and cultural politics of urban school reform.

Torpedoes Tea and Medals - The...

Chris O'Flaherty

A biography chronicling one man’s service during World War II as a Royal Navy commander and his career before & after in the tea business. Jake Wright’s initiation to war was on the beach at Dunkirk, helping evacuate stragglers. Then volunteering for Motor Torpedo Boats, he served with valor throughout World War II, becoming one of only forty-four officers in WWII to receive a DSC with two Bars . . . Derek Wright learned about small boats from his father, who tragically died when Derek was just fourteen years old. Sent away from his family to finish his education, he left school at sixteen to join the global tea trade. Soon after he finished his training with Brooke Bond, famous for their “Dividend” tea, Hitler invaded Poland and Britain was at war. By then known to his friends as “Jake,” he was one of the first Volunteer Reserves to be called up to fight for his country. Plucked from his naval training in HMS King Alfred, his warfighting initiation was on the beach at Dunkirk, helping evacuate stragglers after Operation DYNAMO. He then volunteered for Motor Torpedo Boats, where he served with valor and distinction. While Hitler’s U-Boats were torpedoing shipments of tea bound for Great Britain, Jake Wright reciprocated by torpedoing Axis coastal shipping off Europe. His first Command was MTB 331, trained for a daredevil mission to puncture German boom defenses protecting their battleships. In his next Command, MTB 32, he was wounded in action whilst torpedoing a German convoy, but kept his small ship fighting against the odds to win the action and sink his enemy; for his bravery he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. Further acts of gallantry in action, combined with tactical innovation, saw him earn two bars to his DSC as well as a Mention in Despatches; he became one of only forty-four officers in the Second World War to receive a DSC with two Bars. After demobilization he returned to the tea trade, rising to become one of Brooke Bond’s senior directors supplying Britain’s beloved beverage. He even helped refine how to make the perfect cup of tea. This is the life story of a determined, brave, innovative, and decorated officer who has earned a place in the hearts of our nation. It is the story of Derek “Jake” Wright, DSC**.Praise for Torpedoes, Tea, and Medals “A must read . . . an enthralling look at motor torpedo boat operations off the coast of France and Belgium during World War II.” —Naval Historical Foundation “Wright clearly had a really action-packed war and this book skillfully combines his coastal forces experiences with his influential role in the tea business.” —Captain Andrew Welch, FNI, Royal Navy Retired
