Beschreibung

Colonialism: A Global Legacy explores how the historical expansion of empires continues to influence modern societies, economies, and political systems. It argues that many contemporary global issues have roots in colonial policies and practices. Understanding these legacies is crucial for informed policymaking and equitable international relations. For example, demographic shifts caused by colonial-era forced migration still impact national identities and social structures today. The book also analyzes how the systematic extraction of resources during colonialism laid the groundwork for present-day economic disparities.

 
This book traces the evolution of colonialism, from mercantilism to high imperialism, examining ideologies like racial superiority that justified colonial rule. It delves into independence movements and resistance to colonial power. The narrative progresses systematically across chapters, beginning with core concepts and a colonial history overview. It then examines specific regions and thematic issues like demographic changes, economic exploitation, and resistance movements.

 
The book's strength lies in its comparative approach, drawing from history, political science, and economics to provide a nuanced, evidence-based account of colonialism’s enduring impact.

How to Be a Patriotic Christian...

Richard J. Mouw

What does it mean to love our country? 
 
 
 
Some Christians see loyalty to America as central to our faith and identity. Other Christians are skeptical that our nation warrants such devotion or attachment. But Richard Mouw encourages Christians to have a healthy sense of national peoplehood that promotes civic kinship and responsible citizenship. He navigates between Christian nationalism on one hand and cynicism about country on the other to avoid the perils of both idolatry and disengagement. 
 
 
 
Mouw grapples with sticky questions such as how to honor national holidays in church and the place of protests in forging a more perfect union. Placing love of country in the context of Christian love of neighbor, he sees patriotism as an expression of our heavenly citizenship and a call to help our country be a place where all people can thrive in peace. 
 
 
 
Mouw's winsome and wise reflections direct our patriotic affections toward the civic good of others within our churches and in our communities. This guide helps us travel together on a shared national journey toward liberty and justice for all.

The Dogs of Mariupol - Russia's...

Tom Mutch

When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, Kateryna hung up her dresses, Oksana and Stanislav put down their lawyers' briefs and Oksen slammed shut his philosophy textbooks. Alongside thousands of their fellow citizens, they strapped on armour, picked up weapons and chose to risk their lives for the freedom and independence of their homeland. Many would never return.
Journalist Tom Mutch woke up in Kyiv on 24 February to a world changed for ever. Making a fateful choice to stay and cover the invasion, he witnessed the forging of an 'iron generation' of young Ukrainians. With first-hand reporting from all the major battlegrounds and front lines, The Dogs of Mariupol recounts the war's notorious encounters, such as the Battle of Kyiv and the Siege of Mariupol, but also uncovers untold stories, like the 1st Tank Brigade's desperate defence of Chernihiv and the civilian guerrilla army fighting overwhelming odds in Sumy.
This is not a triumphalist account of Ukraine's fight, however. It painstakingly documents the immense human catastrophe wrought on Ukrainian society and the divisions between those who fought and those who fled. It also delves deeper into events to answer important historical questions: could the Russian plan to capture Kyiv have succeeded? Did Ukraine make a fatal error by committing for so long to the defence of Bakhmut? And with more western support, could Ukraine have won this terrible war outright?
