Beschreibung

Global Slave Trades provides a comprehensive exploration of how the forced movement of millions shaped the modern world. It examines the slave trades as interconnected systems spanning centuries and continents, crucial for understanding contemporary issues of inequality and injustice. The book goes beyond historical recounting to demonstrate how these trades created lasting systems of exploitation and shaped racial identities, impacting global power structures still visible today. For instance, enslaved labor fueled industries like agriculture and mining, significantly boosting economies in the Americas, Europe, and parts of Africa and Asia.

 
The book analyzes the economic drivers, political machinations, and social consequences of these trades. It begins with an overview of diverse forms of slavery, then delves into how enslaved labor fueled economic growth and how legal systems legitimized exploitation. It also explores resistance movements by enslaved people and abolitionists, highlighting their impact.

 
Ultimately, Global Slave Trades addresses the after-effects of slavery, such as economic disparity and social inequality, offering a nuanced account to deepen our understanding of the forces shaping the modern world.

    Collective Souls weaves generational theory, astrology and mythic storytelling into a groundbreaking exploration of how time moves through us. Drawing on the cyclical insights of Pluto's transits and the archetypes of each generation, astrologer and educator Daljeet Peterson offers a map for navigating the cultural, psychological and spiritual crisis of our age. 
    As America celebrates its 250th birthday and Pluto returns to the very place it stood in 1776, we find ourselves at a crossroads of history and soul. Polarization deepens, institutions falter, and meaning seems harder to find. But what if there's a deeper pattern behind the chaos? 
    From the prophetic fire of the Baby Boomers, to the bridge-building resilience of Generation X,  the visionary drive of the Millennials, and the rising transformative spirit of Gen Z, this book reveals how each generation carries a vital piece of the collective puzzle—and how their dynamic interplay shapes the soul of history itself. 
    Part cultural cartography, part spiritual guide book, Collective Souls invite you to step into a deeper awareness of your place in time. It is a book for anyone seeking to orient themselves in the great turning of the age.

    The #MeToo movement inspired millions to testify to the widespread experience of sexual violence. More broadly, it shifted the deeply ingrained response to women's accounts of sexual violence from doubting all of them to believing some of them. What changed? 
     
     
     
    Leigh Gilmore provides a new account of #MeToo that reveals how storytelling by survivors propelled the call for sexual justice beyond courts and high-profile cases. At a time when the cultural conversation was fixated on appeals to legal and bureaucratic systems, narrative activism—storytelling in the service of social change—elevated survivors as authorities. Their testimony fused credibility and accountability into the #MeToo effect: uniting millions of separate accounts into an existential demand for justice and the right to be heard. 
     
     
     
    Gilmore reframes #MeToo as a breakthrough moment within a longer history of feminist thought and activism. She analyzes autobiographical storytelling in intersectional and antirape activism and traces how literary representations of sexual violence dating from antiquity intertwine with cultural notions of doubt, obligation, and agency. By focusing on the intersectional prehistory of #MeToo, Gilmore sheds light on how survivors have used narrative to frame sexual violence as an urgent problem requiring structural solutions in diverse contexts.

    Mary Roberts Rinehart, known for her bestselling mystery novels such as The Circular Staircase published in 1907, earned a reputation as “the American Agatha Christie” through the success of her novels. Yet Rinehart was also a WWI correspondent. 
    After convincing her editor at The Saturday Evening Post to send her to the Belgian front, and armed with letters of introduction, her status as a well-known writer and member of the American Red Cross, as well as plenty of fearless initiative, she became the first American to report from the front. In Kings, Queens and Pawns (1915) Rinehart records scenes of life at, and far from, the front: a baby whose legs were blown off, a young soldier rendered blind in battle sitting quietly as he listens to a recording of Madama Butterfly, the entire noncombatant population of a Belgian town homeless after relentless German-lead bombings, a queen overseeing her Needlework Guild. 
    Anticipating the ultimately widely held view of the bloody and often futile conflict, Rinehart argues that the greatest treasures of the warring countries, the young soldiers fighting so valiantly in the prime of their lives, are mere pawns wasted and lost on the desolate battlefields.
