Sinossi

Slave Revolts examines significant uprisings across the Americas, revealing enslaved people's active resistance against the brutal system of slavery. Going beyond portraying them as passive victims, the book highlights their agency in fighting for freedom and influencing abolitionist movements. It delves into the causes, leaders, and lasting impacts of these revolts on societies built upon forced labor, emphasizing the inherent instability within slave societies. For example, the Haitian Revolution demonstrated the potential for enslaved people to overthrow their oppressors and establish an independent nation.

 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with the foundations of slavery and resistance, before analyzing key revolts like the Stono and Demerara Rebellions. Each case study explores the unique triggers, leadership, and consequences of each revolt, ultimately emphasizing their cumulative impact on abolitionist sentiments, political action, and the dismantling of slavery. It draws upon diverse sources, including firsthand accounts and legal records, to provide a nuanced understanding of the complex dynamics at play, including the transnational spread of rebellious ideas.

Dr Nurse - Science Politics and...

Dominique A. Tobbell

An analysis of the efforts of American nurses to establish nursing as an academic discipline and nurses as valued researchers in the decades after World War II. 
 
Nurses represent the largest segment of the U.S. health care workforce and spend significantly more time with patients than any other member of the health care team. Dr. Nurse probes their history to examine major changes that have taken place in American health care in the second half of the twentieth century. The book reveals how federal and state health and higher education policies shaped education within health professions after World War II. 
 
Starting in the 1950s, academic nurses sought to construct a science of nursing—distinct from that of the related biomedical or behavioral sciences—that would provide the basis for nursing practice. Their efforts transformed nursing’s labor into a valuable site of knowledge production and proved how the application of their knowledge was integral to improving patient outcomes. Exploring the knowledge claims, strategies, and politics involved as academic nurses negotiated their roles and nursing’s future, Dr. Nurse highlights how state-supported health centers have profoundly shaped nursing education and health care delivery.

Rome's Imperial Legacy - The...

Rogan Fish

The rise of the Roman Empire marks one of the most transformative periods in world history. Emerging from humble beginnings as a small settlement on the banks of the Tiber River, Rome grew to dominate the ancient world through a combination of military prowess, political innovation, and cultural assimilation. This chapter explores the foundations of Roman power, the empire’s expansive reach across continents, and the key figures who shaped its rise.
Rome's origins date back to the 8th century BCE, with its legendary founding attributed to Romulus and Remus. Initially a monarchy, Rome evolved into a republic around 509 BCE after the overthrow of the last Etruscan king. This transition marked the beginning of a new political era, where power rested with the Senate and elected magistrates. The republican framework, characterized by a system of checks and balances, laid the foundation for Rome's expansive ambitions. As the republic matured, it developed a complex legal system and a robust military structure that would be instrumental in its growth.
One of Rome’s most significant advantages was its strategic location. Positioned at the crossroads of the Mediterranean, Rome became a hub for trade and communication. The city's ability to integrate conquered territories through road networks and infrastructure projects further solidified its control. Additionally, the Roman practice of granting varying levels of citizenship to conquered peoples helped maintain loyalty and stability within the expanding state.
