  Diverse Republic

  The Republic of Ireland has changed much in the last few decades. It has become much more socially liberal, urban, secular and wealthy. It has also experienced large-scale immigration during a period when other Anglophone and many other European countries mainstream political parties have witnessed the exploitation of anti-immigrant nativism by some political mainstream parties as well as by the far right. Diverse Republic examines, as part of a wider focus on how immigration has changed Irish society, the emergence of antiimmigrant far-right groups through a focus on some key figures within these. It also considers the response of mainstream politics to immigration and examines efforts to encourage the integration of newcomers.The first part of the book examines how Irish society and identity has changed since the foundation of the state. This is relevant to the second part, which examines how and to what extent far right anti-immigration politics are likely to flourish or not in the Irish case. The second part of the book examines the appeal of far-right political responses to immigration in a context where some Irish citizens no longer appear to be represented by the political mainstream and where nativist populists lay claim to the symbols and heroes of the Republic.Diverse Republic makes the case for proactive measures to promote immigrant integration and social cohesion through citizenship, social policy and community development. It engages with shifting nationalist understandings of Irishness and makes the case for taking these seriously even if anti-immigrant nativist nationalism has found only fringe support in Irish politics to date. The symbols and history of what has become a diverse Republic should not become the property of those who would exclude some of its citizens.

  Alien Goddess - UFOs AI and the...

  What if the beings we call "aliens" are not invaders, but messengers from higher realms of consciousness, warning us against the dead-end path we are racing toward? What if the true threat to humanity is not an alien invasion, but rather our surrender to machines? And what if the antidote resides in wisdom we abandoned long ago? 
   
  Alien Goddess enters this urgent conversation with a perspective no one else is offering. Drawing on contemporary accounts of contact phenomena, esoteric texts, and ancient mythologies, it asks what happens when a civilization replaces the sacred with the synthetic. Who becomes the architect of human destiny when the soul is written out of the equation? 
   
  Part I—The Messengers: UFOs investigates the possibility that UFO phenomena are visitations from consciousness realms within the liminal spaces of multidimensional realities. 
   
  Part II—The Message: AI critiques the promises of transhumanism and artificial intelligence (AI), exposing the confusion between artificial experiences and true spiritual evolution. 
   
  Part III—The Goddesses of Ascension offers an alternative in the initiatory wisdom of Goddess traditions. 
   
  Alien Goddess is both a warning and a map.

  Ousted from power by the French army on April 11, 2011, following the disputed presidential election in Côte d'Ivoire of November 2010, Laurent Gbagbo was charged with crimes against humanity before the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, on December 5, 2011.
  
  This book, written from 2012 onwards, thanks to numerous prison visits and interviews, is the only one to have been produced with the participation of the Ivorian president during his incarceration and trial.
  This unique testimony is more than ever a document for history, because it sheds light on the manipulations of the 2010 elections, the collusion between Nicolas Sarkozy's France and the ICC to get rid of Laurent Gbagbo, and the stalling tactics and maneuvers that marred "Gbagbogate."
  Over meetings with François Mattei, Laurent Gbagbo looks back on his seven years in prison, explains what they mean and shares his vision for the future—that of a free man, come what may.

  No part of America scars its children as does the south. 
   
   
   
  In this incandescent memoir, Robert Coram tells how a rough-edged boy escaped from a nowhere little town in rural southwest Georgia and became an accomplished writer. 
   
   
   
  With a flawless ear and an unblinking eye, Coram escorts us across a unique landscape, capturing the nuances of life in a small southern town during the 1950s, not by writing of the romantic south, but rather of a south that can be narrow and harsh and brutal. He takes on the big issues: race, religion, love, death, and family values. His coming-of-age story is troubling, sometimes embarrassing, but always hilarious. 
   
   
   
  As a native son, Coram captures in pitch-perfect tone the voice of a teenage boy, a new voice from the old south. 
   
   
   
  Coram holds nothing back. No part of his early life is too embarrassing or too personal, including losing his virginity in a church and public beatings by his father. Though centered on Coram's long-suffering mother, his brutal father, and his dog that lived in hope, the main feature of his story may be the humor. Rarely does a writer draw so much humor from such a harsh childhood. His story will linger in your heart.
