Sinopse

In "Divergent Fortunes: A Tale of Wealth and Disparity," Dr. Pasquale De Marco takes us on a revelatory journey into the heart of the racial wealth gap in America. Through meticulous research and powerful storytelling, this book uncovers the historical, systemic, and societal factors that have created a deep economic divide between Black and white families.

With compelling narratives and in-depth analysis, Dr. Pasquale De Marco weaves together the experiences of individuals and families, painting a vivid picture of the challenges and triumphs of Black wealth-building in America. We see how the legacy of discrimination, redlining, and unequal access to education and employment opportunities has created a persistent gap in wealth accumulation, limiting the economic mobility of Black families for generations.

But "Divergent Fortunes" is not just a story of disparity; it is also a story of resilience and determination. Dr. Pasquale De Marco shines a light on the Black families who have overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles to build wealth and pass it on to future generations. These inspiring stories serve as a testament to the power of perseverance, financial literacy, and community support.

This book is not only a critique of the current state of affairs but also a roadmap for change. Dr. Pasquale De Marco offers concrete strategies and policy recommendations to address the racial wealth gap and create a more just and equitable society. The book calls for systemic reforms in housing, education, and the financial system, as well as a renewed commitment to policies that promote economic opportunity for all.

"Divergent Fortunes" is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the racial wealth gap in America and work towards a more just and equitable future. It is a powerful indictment of the status quo and a clarion call for action.

This book will challenge your assumptions, inspire you to think critically about wealth inequality, and leave you with a renewed sense of urgency to work towards a future where economic opportunity is truly equal for all.

    In the West Bengal election of 2021, the longest state election in the history of India, Mamata Banerjee won the khela, and the BJP lost the plot. How did this happen? 
    The author, Jayanta Ghosal, travelled to all the districts of West Bengal and unearthed certain key factors that helped the Trinamool win the state. For instance, there was a massive gap in the BJP's understanding of Bengali identity, which Mamata was able to exploit. An 'overdose' of central intervention, ranging from paramilitary forces to intelligence agencies to target key TMC leaders, added to the BJP's disconnect with voters. Increasingly, the state felt the divide between New Delhi and Bengal grow. 
    The book details how Mamata was successfully able to portray herself as the 'daughter of Bengal' who worked tirelessly for the state's poor and disadvantaged. It also asks the question: with the state elections under her belt, what will be Mamata's path to the general elections of 2024? Does she consider herself a candidate for the prime minister's post?

    Inequality is up. Decent work is down. Free market fundamentalism has been exposed as a tragic failure. In a job market upended by COVID-19—with Canadians caught in the grip of precarious labour, stagnant wages, a climate crisis, and the steady creep of automation—an ever-louder chorus of voices calls for a liveable and obligation-free basic income.
    		 
    Could a basic income guarantee be the way forward to democratize security and intervene where the market economy and social programs fail? Jamie Swift and Elaine Power scrutinize the politics and the potential behind a radical proposal in a post-pandemic world: that wealth should be built by a society, not individuals. And that we all have an unconditional right to a fair share.
    		 
    In these pages, Swift and Power bring to the forefront the deeply personal stories of Canadians who participated in the 2017–2019 Ontario Basic Income Pilot; examine the essential literature and history behind the movement; and answer basic income’s critics from both the right and left.

    From the “Trail of Tears” to Wounded Knee and Little Bighorn, the narrative of American history is incomplete without the inclusion of the Native Americans that lived on the continent before European settlers arrived in the 16th and 17th centuries. Since the first contact between natives and settlers, tribes like the Sioux, Cherokee, and Navajo have both fascinated and perplexed outsiders with their history, language, and culture.  
    	Though they are not as well known as tribes like the Sioux or Cherokee, the Creek are one of the oldest and most important Native American tribes in North America. With roots that tie them to the Ancient Moundbuilders, the Natchez were one of the most established groups in the Southeastern United States, and came to be known as one of the Five Civilized Tribes. It’s also believed that they were among the first natives encountered by Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto’s historic expedition in the mid-16th century.  
    	Like various other indigenous groups, the Natchez quickly found themselves in conflict with European powers, most notably the French, who they engaged in a series of battles with during the early 18th century. The French decimated the tribe and led to the dispersal of their dwindling numbers, but the Natchez continue to occupy popular imaginations because of several unique features that make them stand out from other groups. 
    The ongoing fighting between white settlers, militias, Army units, and Native Americans not only bled into the War of 1812 but was one of the main causes of it. Many Americans chaffed at the fact that along the Northwestern frontier, the British in Canada were supporting Indian resistance to American settlement.

    You can't avoid it, because it's everywhere. In the looks Black kids get in certain spaces, the manner in which some people speak to them, the stuff that goes over their heads. Stuff that makes them cry even when they don't know why. How do you bring up your kids to be kind and happy when there is so much out there trying to break them down? 
     
    Bringing Up Race is an important book, for all families whatever their race or ethnicity. It's for everyone who wants to instill a sense of open-minded inclusivity in their kids, and those who want to discuss difference instead of shying away from tough questions. Uju Asika draws on often shocking personal stories of prejudice along with opinions of experts, influencers, and fellow parents to give advice in this guide. 
     
    Bringing Up Race explores: when children start noticing ethnic differences; what to do if your child says something racist; how to have open, honest, age-appropriate conversations; how children and parents can handle racial bullying; and how to recognize and challenge everyday racism. 
     
    Bringing Up Race is a call to arms for all parents as our society works to combat white supremacy and dismantle systemic racism.
