Sinopse

"Mock Debate" explores the fascinating intersection of humor and politics, revealing how structured mockery can significantly influence political discourse. It argues that comedic interventions serve as potent tools for social commentary, challenging conventional views of political engagement. The book highlights that effective political humor isn't just about getting laughs; it's about exposing hypocrisy and prompting audiences to question their own beliefs. Did you know humor theories help us understand why certain jokes resonate while others don't?

 
The book progresses from introducing humor theory and its application to political contexts, to providing a historical overview of satire. Subsequent chapters analyze specific techniques like parody and irony, and examine the ethical considerations of political humor, including the potential for harm. Through rhetorical analysis and case studies, the book demonstrates how structured mockery, when employed thoughtfully, can foster critical engagement with political ideas, and even shape election cycles.

 
What sets "Mock Debate" apart is its focus on the structure of mockery, analyzing the underlying rhetorical and psychological mechanisms that make it effective. This book provides a systematic framework for understanding and utilizing humor in political discourse, offering guidelines for responsible and ethical engagement. Ultimately, the book challenges us to reconsider the role of humor in shaping our world.

    The Forgotten Slave Trade - The...

    Everybody knows about the transatlantic slave trade. A century before Britain became involved in this terrible business, whole villages and towns in England, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and other European countries were being depopulated by slavers, who transported the men, women, and children to Africa where they were sold. This is the forgotten slave trade; one which saw over a million Christians forced into captivity in the Muslim world. 
     
     
     
    Starting with the practice of slavery in the ancient world, Simon Webb traces the history of slavery in Europe, showing that the numbers involved were vast and that the victims were often treated far more cruelly than black slaves in America and the Caribbean. Castration, used very occasionally against black slaves taken across the Atlantic, was routinely carried out on an industrial scale on European boys who were exported to Africa and the Middle East. Most people are aware that the English city of Bristol was a major center for the transatlantic slave trade in the eighteenth century, but hardly anyone knows that 1,000 years earlier it had been an important staging-post for the transfer of English slaves to Africa. 
     
     
     
    This book will forever change how you view the slave trade and show that many commonly held beliefs about this controversial subject are almost wholly inaccurate and mistaken.

    By the mid-19th century, other European powers became interested not only in the exploration of Africa but the exploitation of it, especially once the German Empire unified after the Franco-Prussian War. This began a rush, spearheaded mainly by European commercial interests in the form of chartered companies, to penetrate the African interior and woo its leadership with guns, trinkets and alcohol, and having thus obtained their marks or seals upon spurious treaties, begin establishing boundaries of future European colonies. The ease with which this was achieved was due to the fact that, at that point, traditional African leadership was disunited, and the people had just staggered back from centuries of concussion inflicted by the slave trade. Thus, to usurp authority, to intimidate an already broken society, and to play one leader against the other was a diplomatic task so simple, much of Africa would come under European influence in a short time.  
    	Of course, there were exceptions to this rule, and for almost a century, the British in West Africa were faced with a powerful and stubborn African opponent: the Ashanti Empire. The Ashanti were formed by alliance and the conquest of the Akan people in the rainforest zone between the West African coast and the Sahel country to the north. 
    	The Ashanti fought the British in five wars over the nineteenth century, and they were the only West African people inflicting more than one defeat on the British. War in tropical West Africa was different from most of the rest of the world. The prevalence of endemic diseases like malaria typically killed half of the Europeans posted there per year; it was called “The White Man’s Grave” for a reason. A second factor was the presence of the tsetse fly that carried a disease able to kill horses quickly. Military expeditions were left to move entirely on foot - there were no carts, no wagons, no pack animals, and no cavalry.
