Sinossi

Colonial Impact delves into the enduring consequences of European colonization on Africa, arguing that its legacy continues to shape the continent's political and economic realities. The book highlights how the arbitrary drawing of African borders at the Berlin Conference disregarded existing ethnic and cultural boundaries, leading to lasting political instability. Furthermore, it examines how the systematic exploitation of Africa's resources benefited European economies, often at the expense of African development.

 
The book progresses from pre-colonial African societies to the border creation process, economic policies, and diverse forms of African resistance, providing a comprehensive understanding of colonialism's lasting impact. It argues that the effects of colonialism are not just historical artifacts but living forces that influence political structures and economic inequalities. For example, patterns of resource extraction established during colonization continue to affect economic relations between Africa and the rest of the world, impacting sustainable development.

 
By focusing on the political and economic impacts, Colonial Impact offers a framework for understanding debates about neocolonialism and resource governance. It uniquely emphasizes the agency of African actors in resisting and adapting to colonial rule, providing valuable insights for anyone interested in African history, postcolonial studies, and the challenges facing Africa today. This approach provides a fresh perspective on the history world, making it accessible to students, researchers, and policymakers alike.

Anxiety - Meditations on the...

The School of Life

A guide to our anxious minds; offering a route to calm, self-compassion, and mental well-being.
 
Far more than we tend to realize, we’re all—in private—deeply anxious. There is so much that worries us across our days and nights: whether our hopes will come true, whether others will like us, whether the people we care about will be OK, whether we can escape humiliation and grief...

 
Too often, we bottle up our anxieties or try to avoid looking at them directly. We are ashamed of how worried we are and end up feeling isolated and yet more worried. None of this is necessary. Anxiety is deeply normal and, like so much else that troubles our minds, it can be understood and brought under our control. We all deserve to wake up every day without a sense of foreboding.

 
This is a guide to anxiety: why we feel it, how we experience it when it strikes, and what we can do when we come under its influence. Across a series of essays that look at the subject from a number of angles, the tone is helpful, compassionate, and in the best sense practical.

Sumerians - The History of...

Kelly Mass

This book contains 2 topics, which are:
1 - Sumerians: The Sumerians were the people from Sumer, the first recognized society in the historic area of southern Mesopotamia (now southern Iraq), developed throughout the 6th and 5th centuries BC throughout the Chalcolithic and early Bronze Ages. In addition to age-old Egypt, the Caral-Supe culture, the Indus Valley civilization, the Minoan civilization, and age-old China, it is also one of the world's early civilizations. Sumerian farmers who lived along the Tigris and Euphrates valleys grew a great deal of grain and other items, which allowed them to establish metropolitan towns. Before 3000 BC, there was proto-writing. The earliest files date from between 3500 and 3000 BC and are from the cities of Uruk and Jemdet Nasr.
2 - Hittites: The Hittites were mentioned in the Bible. They were an Anatolian people that contributed to creating a kingdom in Kussara before 1750 BC, the Kanesh or Nesha kingdom between 1750 and 1650 BC, and finally an empire based upon Hattusa in north-central Anatolia around 1650 BC. Under uppiluliuma I, the empire reached its peak in the mid-14th century BC, when it ruled over much of Anatolia and areas of the northern Levant and Upper Mesopotamia.
Between the 15th and 13th centuries BC, the Hattusa Empire, also called the Hittite Empire, defended control of the Near East with the New Kingdom of Egypt, the Middle Assyrian Empire, and the Mitanni Empire. The Middle Assyrian Empire ultimately emerged as the dominant power, took much of the Hittite Empire, and ransacked the rest by Phrygian newbies to the area. The Hittites separated into numerous self-governing Syro-Hittite countries around c. 1180 BC, at the time of the Late Bronze Age collapse, some of which stayed till the 8th century BC before giving up to the Neo-Assyrian Empire.
