Synopsis

'The Ivory Coast' offers a compelling exploration of how colonial naming practices and the ivory trade fundamentally shaped the identity and political landscape of modern West Africa. This comprehensive study weaves together three centuries of history, examining the transformation of a region from a hub of ivory commerce to a complex nation grappling with its colonial legacy.

 
Through a masterful blend of trade records, colonial archives, and oral histories, the book reveals how European economic interests literally named and defined African territories based on their commercial value. The narrative unfolds across three main themes, beginning with the establishment of the ivory trade and its profound impact on coastal communities. Readers discover how trading ports evolved into centers of political power, permanently altering the region's social structure.

 
The book's unique approach combines quantitative analysis of historical trade data with personal accounts and colonial correspondence, providing both a broad economic perspective and intimate insights into the human experience of this transformation.

 
The book's significance lies in its revelation of how commodity-based colonial naming practices influenced national identity formation and political development in West Africa. By examining why some nations maintain colonial names while others adopt indigenous ones, it provides crucial context for understanding contemporary debates about cultural identity and political sovereignty.

 
This comprehensive analysis serves both academic audiences and general readers interested in understanding the complex historical forces that continue to shape modern African nation-states.

    Narcissism is a complex and multifaceted personality trait, often characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, a strong need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. While the term "narcissism" is often used casually to describe someone who appears vain or self-centered, its psychological meaning is more intricate and refers to a spectrum of behaviors that can range from mild self-interest to full-blown Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). 
    At its core, narcissism is a defense mechanism that helps individuals maintain an exaggerated sense of self-worth. This inflated self-image may stem from deep insecurities or past trauma, and it can be a way for individuals to shield themselves from feelings of inadequacy or vulnerability. Narcissists often rely on external validation—through admiration, praise, and attention—to affirm their worth, which means their sense of self is fragile and dependent on how others perceive them. 
    A key component of narcissism is the lack of empathy. Narcissists struggle to recognize or care about the feelings and needs of others. Instead, they view people primarily as tools for boosting their own status or fulfilling their desires. This absence of empathy can lead to shallow relationships and exploitation, as narcissists often fail to consider the emotional consequences of their actions on others.

    Pandemics, massive earthquakes, war, and other catastrophes inspire immediate action because their casualties and destruction are immediately visible. Climate change is an unyielding problem because its long-range dangers are hidden, and thus it is a global risk unlike anything in human experience
    		 
    The federal government recently announced aggressive climate targets for Canada. We have committed to producing net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, which will require major changes for our economy and way of life. Canadian citizens need to understand why our most distinguished climate scientists and our senior political leaders think that we must meet this target. Canada and Climate Change explains the importance of policies that will ensure we meet the net-zero emissions target. William Leiss provides a firm grasp on what climate change is and how scientists have described shifts in the earth’s climate as they have occurred over hundreds of millions of years and as they are likely to occur in the near future, especially by the end of this century.
    		 
    Leiss argues that citizens have a right to place their trust in what climate scientists tell us. Canada and Climate Change is an essential primer on where we stand on the issue of climate change in Canada and what will unfold in the years ahead.

    A bold new history of the global class war 
     
     
     
    A thrilling and vivid work of history, Class War weaves together literature and politics to chart the making and unmaking of social class through revolutionary combat. In a narrative that spans the globe and more than two centuries of history, Mark Steven traces the history of class war from the Haitian Revolution to Black Lives Matter. 
     
     
     
    Surveying the literature of revolution, from the poetry of Shelley and Byron to the novels of Émile Zola and Jack London, exploring the writings of Frantz Fanon, Che Guevara, and Assata Shakur, Class War reveals the interplay between military action and the politics of class, showing how solidarity flourishes in times of conflict. Written with verve and ranging across diverse historical settings, Class War traverses industrial battles, guerrilla insurgencies, and anticolonial resistance, as well as large-scale combat operations waged against capitalism's regimes and its interstate system. 
     
     
     
    In our age of economic crisis, ecological catastrophe, and planetary unrest, Steven tells the stories of those whose actions will help guide future militants toward a revolutionary horizon.
