Synopsis

In "A Vindication of the Rights of Men," Mary Wollstonecraft presents a powerful critique of the political and social injustices of her time, advocating for the principles of reason, equality, and individual rights. Written in direct response to Edmund Burke's "Reflections on the Revolution in France," Wollstonecraft employs a rigorous argumentative style, blending emotive prose with logical reasoning. Her work is steeped in the Enlightenment ideals of rationalism, challenging the status quo while articulating a vision for a more equitable society that recognizes the inherent rights of all individuals, irrespective of gender or class. Mary Wollstonecraft, an early feminist and philosopher, is often regarded as a foundational figure in the fight for human rights. Her life experiences, marked by personal struggles and a fervent commitment to education and reform, deeply influenced her writing. Wollstonecraft's own challenges within a patriarchal society fueled her advocacy for universal rights, and her critical engagement with contemporary political discourse reflects her passion for social change and justice. This seminal work is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of political thought, feminist theory, or the fight for human rights. Wollstonecraft's compelling arguments and eloquent prose provide a profound insight into the struggles for equality and offer timeless lessons that resonate in today's societal debates.

    The Marauders - Standing Up to...

    This real-life Western tells the story of how citizens in a small Arizona border town stood up to anti-immigrant militias and vigilantes. 
     
     
     
    The Marauders uncovers the riveting nonfiction saga of far-right militias terrorizing the border towns of southern Arizona. In one of the towns profiled, Arivaca, rogue militia members killed a man and his nine-year-old daughter in 2009. In response, the residents organized and spent two years trying to push  the new militias out through boycotts and by urging local businesses to  ban  them. The militias and vigilante groups again raised the stakes, spreading Pizzagate-style conspiracy theories alleging that town residents were complicit in child sex trafficking, prompting fears of vigilante violence. 
     
      
     
    The Marauders flips the standard formula most often applied to stories about immigration and the far right. Too often those stories are told from the perspective of the ones committing the violence. While Strickland doesn't shy away from exploring those dark themes, the far right are not the protagonists of the book. Rather, the people targeted by hate groups, and the individuals who rose up to stop them in their tracks, are the heroes of this dramatic story.

  • On Heroes Hero-Worship and the Heroic in History - cover

    On Heroes Hero-Worship and the...

    Thomas Carlyle

    Though uncompromising, polemical and argumentative, Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) made a lasting impact on 19th-century culture as a multi-talented man of letters. And though his lengthy history of the French Revolution proved his major scholarly legacy, On Heroes, Hero-Worship and the Heroic in History remains perhaps his most popular and accessible work. It presented his deep-seated belief that ‘Universal History, the history of what man has accomplished in this world, is at bottom the History of the Great Men who have worked here’.  
     
    It is with this bold declaration that Carlyle opened the collection of six lectures that comprise ‘On Heroes’. Initially delivered in 1840, he published them a year later in an expanded form, and the book’s popularity gave him the broader national presence to which he aspired. The six lectures covered a wide range of man’s activities, but of particular interest were the categories, as much as the individual figures.  
     
    Lecture I. The Hero as Divinity: Odin. Paganism: Scandinavian Mythology.  
     
    Lecture II. The Hero as Prophet. Mahomet: Islam.  
     
    Lecture III. The Hero as Poet. Dante, Shakespeare.  
     
    Lecture IV. The Hero as Priest. Luther. Reformation: Knox; Puritanism.  
     
    Lecture V. The Hero as Man of Letters. Johnson, Rousseau, Burns.  
     
    Lecture VI. The Hero as King. Cromwell, Napoleon: Modern Revolutionism.  
     
    These categories challenged opinions from the outset: Carlyle’s fundamental approach, breaking away from an overbearing militaristic description of the hero figure in history, was revolutionary. He chose to take a more radical view, less hide-bound by the conventional constraints of his day, placing the poet, the philosopher and the revolutionary where, in popular imagination, the conqueror and the champion held sway. This was reflected further in the individuals he chose to represent the categories. If modern-day sensibilities may take a less emphatic ‘Great Men’ approach to history, Carlyle’s original work continues to provide an engaging template for contemporary revision.
