A Modern Tribe

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In the tapestry of American history, the struggle for justice and equality has been particularly poignant. Native Americans have endured centuries of oppression, displacement, and cultural genocide, leaving a deep scar on the American psyche.

This book offers a uniquely Indian solution to the legacy of colonialism and imperialism that continues to haunt American society. Drawing upon the wisdom of tribal traditions and the power of community, it charts a path toward healing and renewal.

The author argues that the disintegration of American society is a symptom of a deeper malaise, a crisis of identity and belonging. The glittering generalities and mythologies of American society no longer satisfy the need and desire to belong.

The solution lies in embracing the wisdom of tribalism, the power of community, and the importance of tradition. Native American tribalism offers a model for a more just and harmonious society, one that is based on reciprocity, respect, and sustainability.

This book is a call to action, a call for a new beginning. It is time to confront the legacy of colonialism and imperialism, acknowledge the harm it has caused, and work together to build a more just and equitable world.

This book is essential reading for anyone who is concerned about the future of America. It is a powerful and provocative call for change, a vision for a better future for all.

Plato of Athens - A Life in...

Robin Waterfield

Considered by many to be the most important philosopher ever, Plato was born into a well-to-do family in wartime Athens at the end of the fifth century BCE. He finally decided to go into politics, but became disillusioned, especially after the Athenians condemned his teacher, Socrates, to death. He began teaching in his twenties and later founded the Academy, the world's first higher-educational research and teaching establishment. Eventually, he returned to practical politics and spent a considerable amount of time and energy trying to create a constitution for Syracuse in Sicily that would reflect and perpetuate some of his political ideals. The attempts failed, and Plato's disappointment can be traced in some of his later political works. 
 
 
 
In his lifetime and after, Plato was considered almost divine. This led to the invention of many tall tales about him-both by those who adored him and his detractors. In this first ever full-length portrait of Plato, Robin Waterfield steers a judicious course among these stories, debunking some while accepting the kernels of truth in others. He explains why Plato chose to write dialogues rather than treatises and gives an overview of the subject matter of all of Plato's books. Clearly and engagingly written throughout, Plato of Athens is the perfect introduction to the man and his work.

Our Woman in Havana - A...

Vicki Huddleston, Carlos Gutierrez

After the United States embassy in Havana was closed in 1961, relations between the countries broke off. A thaw came in 1977 with the opening of a de facto embassy in Havana, the United States Interests Section—where Vicki Huddleston would serve under Presidents Clinton and George W. Bush. 
 
 
  
In her memoir of a diplomat at work, she tells gripping stories of face-to-face encounters with Fidel Castro and the initiatives she undertook, like the transistor radios she furnished to ordinary Cubans. Along with inside accounts of dramatic episodes such as the Elián González custody battle, Huddleston also evokes the charm of the island country and her affection for the Cuban people. 
 
 
  
Uniquely qualified to explain the inner workings of United States-Cuba relations, Huddleston examines the Obama administration's diplomatic opening of 2014, the mysterious "sonic" brain and hearing injuries suffered by United States and Canadian diplomats serving in Havana, and the rescinding of the diplomatic opening under the Trump administration. She recounts missed opportunities for détente, and the myths, misconceptions, and lies that have long pervaded United States-Cuba relations. Our Woman in Havana is essential for everyone interested in Cuba as well as policymakers and observers who study the stormy relationship with our near neighbor.

Manly Palmer Hall

The present consideration of the Bacon--Shakspere--Rosicrucian controversy is undertaken not for the vain purpose of digging up dead men's bones but rather in the hope that a critical analysis will aid in the rediscovery of that knowledge lost to the world since the oracles were silenced. It was W. F. C. Wigston who called the Bard of Avon "phantom Captain Shakespeare, the Rosicrucian mask." This constitutes one of the most significant statements relating to the Bacon-Shakspere controversy.

Unlocking Scots - The Secret...

Clive Young

The Scots language is the hidden treasure of Scottish culture. For many of us it is still how we speak to each other, how we express our feelings, our humour, even our Scottishness. It not only connects us to our communities at an emotional level but also links us to our past. Scots was created by millions of voices coming together to share words, phrases and jokes; to understand, act on (and often laugh at) the world around them.

Aye, but what exactly is 'Scots' anyway?
Usually spoken in a mix with Scottish English, at least nowadays, is it really a language at all?
Was it ever?
And what about its future?

Dr Clive Young embarks on a quest to learn about the secret life of the language he spoke as a bairn. Along the way, he encounters centuries of intense argument on the very nature of Scots, from the first dictionaries, through MacDiarmid, The Broons, Trainspotting and on to present-day Twitter rammies. (And of course, endless stushies about how to spell it.) Some still dismiss Scots as 'just' a dialect, slang or bad English.

Behind this everyday disdain Dr Young uncovers a troubling history of official neglect and marginalisation of our unique minority language, offset only by a defiant and inspiring linguistic loyalty.

A refreshing counterbalance to the usual gloomy prognosis of Scots' supposedly 'inevitable' demise, Dr Young sketches out a practical roadmap to revitalise Scotland's beleaguered tongue and simple ways we can all keep it 'hale an hearty' for future generations.

Acause if you dinna dae it, wha wull?
