Beschreibung

Palm Wine Tapping unveils the rich cultural heritage embedded within a seemingly simple alcoholic beverage. This social science and history exploration delves into palm wine, derived from various palm tree species, and its profound role in social interactions, family gatherings, and community traditions. The book highlights how understanding palm wine production and consumption provides insights into social structures, economic activities, and historical processes.

 
Did you know palm wine isn't just a drink; it's a symbol of hospitality and a connection to ancestral traditions? The book explores the historical roots of palm wine, examining its significance in pre-colonial economies and its evolution influenced by trade and technology. It also analyzes the social dynamics surrounding its consumption, including its use in rituals, ceremonies, and everyday life.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the basics of palm wine, then looking at its historical role, social dynamics, and future challenges. This interdisciplinary approach, drawing on anthropology, economics, and environmental studies, makes the book a valuable resource for those interested in cultural heritage and sustainable development.

    Women Who Invented the Sixties tells the story of how four women helped define the 1960s and made a lasting impression for decades to follow. 
     
     
     
    In 1960, Ella Baker played the key role in the founding of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which became an essential organization for students during the civil rights movement and the model for the antiwar and women's movements. In 1961, Jane Jacobs published The Death and Life of Great American Cities, changing the shape of urban planning irrevocably. In 1962, Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, creating the modern environmental movement. And in 1963, Betty Friedan wrote The Feminine Mystique, which sparked second-wave feminism and created lasting changes for women. Their four separate interventions helped, together, to end the 1950s and invent the 1960s. 
     
     
     
    Women Who Invented the Sixties situates each of these four women in the 1950s—Baker's early activism with the NAACP and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Jacobs's work with Architectural Forum and her growing involvement in neighborhood protest, Carson's conservation efforts and publications, and Friedan's work as a labor journalist and the discrimination she faced—before exploring their contributions to the 1960s and the movements they each helped shape.

    Winner of the 2025 Frank Watson Book Prize
    Why did Scots in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries know so little about their past and even less about those who controlled their history? Is the historical narrative the only legitimate medium through which the past can be made known? Are novelists and historians as far apart as convention has it? In an age when history grounds any claims to national status, these are important questions and they have implications for how Scottish history has evolved, and how Scottish identity has been understood up to the present day.
    Scottish history is not simply the distillation of Scotland's past: authors shape what we know and how we judge our forebears. This book investigates who decided which Scottish voices of the past would be heard in history's pages and which would ultimately be silenced. It sketches a picture of a narrow and privileged cultural elite that responded belatedly to a more democratic age and only slowly embraced women writers and the interests of 'average' Scots. Integrating historical fiction and popular histories in its appreciation of the Scottish historical imaginary, it most importantly tells the story of why, despite the interests of politicians and others, a truly British history has never emerged.
    'A brilliant, scholarly yet highly readable work which enlarges our understanding of what Scottish history is, and reinforces why it really matters' - James Robertson
