From Jesus to Marx - Birth and death of a civilization

Marcello Caroti

Sinossi

This book is an educational text written to introduce our readers to Western Civilization. How it was born and how it grew to become the world's leading civilization in the last century, for better or for worse.The text tells the story of the genesis and decline of our civilization through two revolutionary figures: Jesus of Nazareth and Karl Marx. The thesis on which the book is based is that just as Christianity erased Greco-Roman civilization from the face of the earth, Socialism, transformed into Progressivism, is killing Western Civilization dragging it toward suicide.The disease that is overwhelming us is nihilism.We affirm that Progressives are the new Christians because, as the first Christians did, they are the bearers of a disease that is terminal for our society: nihilism. This book is the history of nihilism starting from Jesus of Nazareth and ending with our Progressives.We must point out that although Jesus’ vision included nihilistic elements, it also laid the ethical foundations that shaped Western Civilization.  In contrast, Marx’s revelation, deeply nihilistic, influenced modern Progressivism leading to existential challenges for our civilization. In other words, our future is a black hole.Fom Jesus to Marx, by Marcello Caroti, is a profound historical and anthropological exploration that starts from the revolutionary figure of Jesus Christ to arrive at the modern ideologies of Karl Marx.In this intriguing journey through the centuries, the author sheds light on how the teachings and actions of Jesus influenced not only religious thought but also the social and political currents that have shaped the modern world.The book begins by analysing Jesus' mission in detail, exploring his differences with John the Baptist and how his message of hope and salvation stood out in an era of rigid social and religious divisions.The author then traces an intellectual and historical path that connects the doctrines of Jesus with the theories of Marx, highlighting how Christianity influenced and shaped Marxist thought.With clear language and engaging narrative, "From Jesus to Marx" is not only essential reading for history and antropology buffs, but also for anyone interested in understanding the roots of modern thought and its impact on society. The book offers a unique and thought-provoking perspective on two of the most influential figures in human history and their lasting impact.

Black Country Music - Listening...

Francesca Royster

Black Country Music tells the story of how Black musicians have changed the country music landscape and brought light to Black creativity and innovation. 
After a century of racist whitewashing, country music is finally reckoning with its relationship to Black people. In this timely work—the first book on Black country music by a Black writer—Francesca Royster uncovers the Black performers and fans, including herself, who are exploring the pleasures and possibilities of the genre. 
 
Informed by queer theory and Black feminist scholarship, Royster’s book elucidates the roots of the current moment found in records like Tina Turner’s first solo album, Tina Turns the Country On! She reckons with Black “bros” Charley Pride and Darius Rucker, then chases ghosts into the future with Valerie June. Indeed, it is the imagination of Royster and her artists that make this music so exciting for a genre that has long been obsessed with the past. The futures conjured by June and others can be melancholy, and are not free of racism, but by centering Black folk Royster begins to understand what her daughter hears in the banjo music of Our Native Daughters and the trap beat of Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road.” A Black person claiming country music may still feel a bit like a queer person coming out, but, collectively, Black artists and fans are changing what country music looks and sounds like—and who gets to love it.
