Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

In the heart of Harlem, a preacher rose from obscurity to become a beacon of hope and a symbol of resistance. James Walker, a man of humble beginnings, ignited the flame of social change with his fiery sermons and unwavering commitment to justice. This book delves into the life and legacy of James Walker, a man whose impact on the Civil Rights Movement and the Black Power Movement cannot be overstated.

From his early days as a young minister to his rise as a prominent civil rights leader, James Walker's journey is a testament to the power of one voice to inspire change. His words resonated with the masses, galvanizing a community to fight for their rights and demand equality. With passion and conviction, he denounced segregation, discrimination, and the systemic injustices that plagued the nation.

Through his leadership, James Walker mobilized the people of Harlem, organizing protests, marches, and boycotts. He became a symbol of defiance, a man willing to stand up to authority and challenge the status quo. His unwavering dedication to the cause of civil rights earned him both admiration and animosity, but he remained steadfast in his pursuit of justice and equality for all.

Yet, James Walker's story is not without its complexities. His rise to prominence was accompanied by controversy and scandal, and his personal life was marred by allegations of financial mismanagement and moral impropriety. These accusations tarnished his reputation and ultimately led to his downfall.

In this book, we explore the life and legacy of James Walker, a man who rose from obscurity to become a powerful voice for justice, but whose legacy was ultimately marred by scandal and controversy. Through a comprehensive examination of his life and career, we seek to understand the complexities of this enigmatic figure and assess his lasting impact on the Civil Rights Movement and the Black Power Movement.

James Walker's story is a tale of triumph and tragedy, of a man who dared to challenge the status quo and fight for what he believed in. His story is a reminder of the power of one voice to inspire change, but also of the complexities of human nature and the challenges that come with leadership and fame.

Little Universe

Natalie Ann Holborow

The poems in Natalie Ann Holborow's third collection, Little Universe, are an exploration of tumultuous human emotions and nature's ever-present rhythms.

Lives bustle within a busy hospital's walls, humming against the Gower landscape that stretches beyond its windows. The tiny worlds of a wide cast unfold as they deal with their own emergencies, losses, recoveries, hopes and histories.

Medical students stride along the corridors in rubber shoes, scars running the lengths of their lives. A janitor is crying in the Gents, watching the flowers at the hospital entrance shrug themselves back into earth. The biblical Lilith offers knowledge from one woman to the other. And somewhere in the distance, a bunker dissolves into gold upon Pennard's shoulder, dusk folding to sleep on Rhossili.

The characters in this book are all bound by the undying pulse of existence – yet their stories serve as a reminder that despite these stark contrasts, life persists.

The Radical Singularity - Essay...

Mane Tatulyan

All the energies of our civilisation are destined to the construction of a new artifical world, a totally technological world in which the human being is one more cog in the cybernetic system. This world is totally exposed, programmed, quantified, technical, artificial, and, above all, autonomous.

This autonomous world will be able to function without us. This world is an objective world that will have neither subjectivity nor meaning. But while all our efforts are projected towards the horizon of technological singularity, the same language reminds us that there is another meaning of the word singularity. The Radical Singularity is an original project about human singularity in the era of technological singularity. The work addresses, in a unique, extreme, and even ironic way, the mutation from modern humanism to posmodern posthumanism, revealing the light of Reason between the lines. What is singular -along with human Reason- is the resistance to globalisation, to homogenisation, to the terror of the same, to automation, to technological singularity, and so on.

This work remind us that, even when things become so violently homogeneous, the radicalism of thought will appear. The world is dialectical, and we cannot escape the logic of the world, of which its representation is our Reason. Due to its radical singularity, human Reason always has the last word.
