Sinossi

In "The Confessions of Nat Turner," the infamous leader of the 1831 slave rebellion presents a chilling and profound account of his life and motivations. This narrative intricately weaves together personal reflections, spiritual devotion, and fervent political ideology, offering insights into the psychological turmoil and existential crises faced by enslaved individuals. The book employs a poignant and evocative literary style, capturing both the visceral agony of bondage and the simmering desire for freedom through powerful imagery and rhythmic prose, reflective of the oral traditions of African American culture. Turner's confessions are set against the backdrop of America's antebellum society, amplifying its themes of racial conflict and moral reckoning within a historical moment of deep socio-political strife. Nat Turner was born into slavery in Virginia in 1800, and his religious fervor and experiences of oppression fueled his revolutionary spirit. Educated and deeply influenced by the Biblical narratives of liberation, Turner believed he was divinely chosen to lead his people out of slavery. His ultimate uprising, although met with brutal suppression, has become a symbol of resistance and a critical turning point in the national consciousness regarding slavery and human rights. This essential text is not only an autobiographical confession but also a compelling historical document that invites readers to grapple with the complexities of moral choice and the quest for justice. Recommended for scholars, historians, and anyone seeking to understand the enduring legacies of oppression and rebellion, Turner's confessions resonate powerfully in discussions about freedom, faith, and the fundamental struggle for human rights.

  • The Poverty Paradox - Understanding Economic Hardship Amid American Prosperity - cover

    The Poverty Paradox -...

    The paradox of poverty amidst plenty has plagued the United States throughout the twenty-first century—why should the wealthiest country in the world also have the highest rates of poverty among the industrialized nations?  Based on his decades-long research and scholarship, one of the nation's leading authorities provides the answer. In The Poverty Paradox, Mark Robert Rank develops his unique perspective for understanding this puzzle. 
 
 
 
The approach is what he has defined over the years as structural vulnerability. Central to this new way of thinking is the distinction between those who lose out at the economic game versus why the game produces losers in the first place. Americans experiencing poverty tend to have certain characteristics placing them at a greater risk of impoverishment. Yet poverty results not from these factors, but rather from a lack of sufficient opportunities in society. In particular, the shortage of decent paying jobs and a strong safety net are paramount. 
 
 
 
Based upon this understanding, Rank goes on to detail a variety of strategies and programs to effectively alleviate poverty in the future. The Poverty Paradox represents a game changing examination of poverty and inequality. It provides the essential blueprint for finally combatting this economic injustice in the years ahead.

Highlighting the lived experiences of women, the working classes, and BAME and LGBTQ+ communities in particular, 40 Ways to Diversify the History Curriculum draws upon a wide range of personal stories to exemplify significant historical moments and shed new light on topics that have traditionally been taught through narrower lenses. The book serves as a resource bank for teachers wishing to enliven and diversify history lessons at Key Stages 2-3, GCSE, A level and beyond.Elena helpfully opens with a discussion of the theoretical/historiographical developments that lay behind calls to diversify the curriculum - and, to accompany each of the 40 historical case studies, she provides ideas and activities for translating the case studies into lesson plans and enquiries. Furthermore, Elena also guides teachers in shaping new enquiries from scratch.Suitable for teachers of secondary school and Key Stage 2 history.
