Sinopsis

Unusual Superstitions explores the pervasive influence of superstitions on human behavior, examining their origins and cultural significance throughout world history. These seemingly irrational beliefs often shape societal norms and personal choices, reflecting our deep-seated need to understand and control uncertainty. For example, many cultures have rituals to influence luck, demonstrating the human desire to manage chance events. This exploration into cultural beliefs progresses thematically, starting with core concepts and moving into specific superstitions related to luck, death, and daily life.

 
The book explains how superstitions aren't relics of the past but offer valuable insights into the human psyche. Drawing from diverse fields like psychology, anthropology, and history, the book connects cognitive biases with cultural variations to show how superstitions impact social identity. By combining rigorous research with engaging storytelling, Unusual Superstitions offers a broad understanding of why these belief systems persist. It looks at everything from ancient rituals to modern-day practices, providing a unique perspective on how belief systems shape our world.

    Farhad, overwhelmed by excessive drinking, escapes the party and takes refuge in the bathroom. Ahmad, Farhad's close friend, joins him there. Both prefer the solitude of the bathroom over the celebration outside, choosing to spend their time in isolation. Ahmad believes the reason their friendship and deep bond have endured since adolescence is "honesty” and “transparency”. However, as they go through their past reflecting on their memories, signs such as mood swings, lack of focus, emotional instability, and particularly drowsiness, exacerbated by alcohol, begin to surface, reshaping their bond in their middle age. Unaware, the party is nearing its end, and the sun is beginning to rise.

    The Delectable Negro - Human...

    Scholars of US and transatlantic slavery have largely ignored or dismissed accusations that Black Americans were cannibalized. Vincent Woodard takes the enslaved person's claims of human consumption seriously, focusing on both the starvation of the slave and the tropes of cannibalism on the part of the slaveholder, and further draws attention to the ways in which Blacks experienced their consumption as a fundamentally homoerotic occurrence. 
     
     
     
    Utilizing many staples of African American literature and culture, such as the slave narratives of Olaudah Equiano, Harriet Jacobs, and Frederick Douglass, as well as other less circulated materials like James L. Smith's slave narrative, runaway slave advertisements, and numerous articles from Black newspapers published in the nineteenth century, Woodard traces the racial assumptions, political aspirations, gender codes, and philosophical frameworks that dictated both European and white American arousal towards Black males and hunger for Black male flesh. He concludes with an examination of the controversial chain gang oral sex scene in Toni Morrison's Beloved, suggesting that even at the end of the twentieth and beginning of the twenty-first century, we are still at a loss for language with which to describe Black male hunger within a plantation culture of consumption.

    Essays: First Series Friendship

    Ralph Waldo Emerson

    A true friend is a paradox—both a mirror and a mystery, a presence that steadies yet unsettles. Emerson's Friendship is not a sentimental tribute but an exploration, as sharp as it is reverent. He does not merely celebrate companionship; he dissects it, questioning the forces that draw souls together and the invisible tensions that hold them apart.
    Friendship, in Emerson's vision, is not mere comfort—it is a force, a demand, a test. It requires space as much as closeness, silence as much as words. It thrives not in constant nearness but in the charged air of mutual respect, in the quiet certainty that the bond endures, even when distance stretches between.
    His words do not ask for easy agreement; they provoke. He suggests that the highest friendships are not found but forged, not effortless but exacting. The reader who enters Friendship expecting warmth may find, instead, a bracing clarity—a recognition that true companionship is both a gift and a discipline, an art as much as an affection. Emerson does not offer a guide to making friends; he offers something rarer: an insight into why, despite all risks, we seek them still.

    Much ink has been spilled in recent years talking about political divides and inequality in the United States. But these discussions too often miss one of the most important factors in the divisions among Americans: the fundamentally unequal nature of the nation's housing systems. 
     
     
     
    And this divide deepens other inequalities. Increasingly, important life outcomes—performance in school, employment, even life expectancy—are determined by where people live and the quality of homes they live in. 
     
     
     
    Public policies enacted by federal, state, and local governments helped create and reinforce the bad housing outcomes endured by too many people. Taxes, zoning, institutional discrimination, and the location and quality of schools, roads, public transit, and other public services are among the policies that created inequalities in the nation's housing patterns. 
     
     
     
    Fixer-Upper is the first book assessing how the broad set of local, state, and national housing policies affect people and communities. It proposes practical policy changes than can make stable, decent-quality housing more available and affordable for all Americans in all communities.
