Synopsis

"Sacred Beasts" explores the fascinating history of animal deification across cultures, examining why certain creatures became religious icons. From ancient Egypt, where cats and crocodiles symbolized deities, to Hindu traditions that revere cows and monkeys, the book reveals how societies projected their beliefs onto the animal kingdom. One intriguing insight is how animal symbolism served to define moral codes and reinforce social hierarchies.The book progresses through case studies, starting with early human societies and focusing on Egypt, Greece/Rome, and Hindu traditions. It demonstrates the universal human tendency to find meaning through animals. The book highlights that this deification reflects fundamental human needs to understand and find meaning in the world.What sets "Sacred Beasts" apart is its interdisciplinary approach, drawing from history, anthropology, and religious studies to offer a holistic view. By exploring the symbiosis between humans and animals, the book provides insights into the origins of religious practices and the development of symbolic language. This exploration enhances our understanding of cultural history and ancient civilizations.

    When inclusion into the fold of citizenship is conditioned by a social group's conceit to ritual violence, humiliation, and exploitation, what can anti-citizenship offer us? 
     
      
     
    The Promise of Youth Anti-citizenship argues that Black youth and youth of color have been cast as anti-citizens, disenfranchised from the social, political, and economic mainstream of American life. Instead of asking youth to conform to a larger societal structure undergirded by racial capitalism and antiblackness, the volume's contributors propose that the collective practice of anti-citizenship opens up a liberatory space for youth to challenge the social order. 
     
     
     
    The chapters cover an array of topics, including Black youth in the charter school experiment in post-Katrina New Orleans; racial capitalism, the queering of ethnicity, and the 1980s Salvadoran migration to South Central Los Angeles; the notion of decolonizing classrooms through Palestinian liberation narratives; and more. Through a range of methodological approaches and conceptual interventions, this collection illuminates how youth negotiate and exercise anti-citizenship as forms of either resistance or refusal in response to coercive patriotism, cultural imperialism, and predatory capitalism.

    Leon Trotsky (1879-1940) was a Bolshevik revolutionary and Marxist theorist. He was one of the leaders of the Russian October Revolution, second only to Vladimir Lenin. During the early days of the Soviet Union, he served first as People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs and later as the founder and commander of the Red Army and People's Commissar of War. He was also among the first members of the Politburo. 
    Why fascism was able to conquer only in those countries where social democratic or Stalinist parties blocked the workers and their allies from utilizing a revolutionary situation to remove the capitalists from power. There is a scientific analysis of fascism. It was made by the exiled Bolshevik revolutionary Leon Trotsky not as a postmortem, but during the rise of fascism. This was — along with his analysis of the nature of Stalinism — Trotsky's greatest contribution to Marxist theory. He began the task after Mussolini's victory in Italy in 1922 and brought itto ahigh pointin the years preceding Hitler'striumphin Germany in 1933.

    One man's extraordinary journey from slavery to freedom—in his own words. 
     
    First published in 1845, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is one of the most powerful and influential autobiographical works in American history. 
     
    Born into slavery in Maryland, Frederick Douglass recounts the brutal realities of his childhood, his separation from his mother, the violence he witnessed and endured, and the deliberate efforts made to deny enslaved people knowledge, independence, and even a sense of their own identity. 
     
    But this is also the story of an awakening. 
     
    As Douglass discovers the power of literacy, he begins to understand that education can become a path toward freedom. His growing determination to control his own life ultimately transforms him from an enslaved young man into a self-emancipated abolitionist whose words would challenge a nation. 
     
    Written with remarkable clarity and conviction, Douglass's firsthand account exposes not only the physical cruelty of slavery but also its devastating effects on the human mind, family, faith, and spirit. 
     
    More than 180 years after its original publication, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass remains an essential American work—a deeply personal testimony to the horrors of slavery and an enduring declaration of the human desire for dignity, knowledge, and freedom. 
     
    Narrated by Selathiel Reagan, this landmark autobiography brings listeners directly into the life and words of one of the most consequential voices in American history.

    The vast history of Britain is now at your fingertips! 
    Britain has a long history, from the days of Roman settlements, such as Londinium (modern-day London), to the days of Britain ruling the waves to the subsequent decline of the empire and the rise of the Commonwealth. It is hard to cover the entire history of Britain in just one book. However, this text seeks to break its history down into easily digestible sections. 
    This book starts us off at the point at which Britain entered into the historical record. Follow along as we unveil the invasion of Julius Caesar and the conquests of later Romans. These were the first people to write down their thoughts and feelings about Britain’s inhabitants. 
    The Roman Empire itself would eventually crash, but Hadrian’s Wall, as well as a multitude of Roman settlements, would remain. These were inherited by the Anglo-Saxons, who arrived from the German-speaking lands just across the English Chanel. The Anglo-Saxons created a rich history and culture but would be supplanted by the Normans in 1066. 
    The Tudor dynasty emerged in 1485, fundamentally changing life in Britain. The most notorious Tudor of all, King Henry VIII, broke free from Roman Catholicism and instituted the Church of England with himself at its head. 
    Here is just a peek at what you will learn:The rise of Anglo-Saxon rule and the establishment of EnglandWilliam the Conqueror and how he changed the course of British historyHenry VIII and the Protestant ReformationThe many conflicts between England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern IrelandThe legacy of Wales and Welsh cultureScotland’s role in British affairsBritain’s involvement in World War One and World War TwoFamous myths and legends of the British Isles
