  Hidden Symbolism of Alchemy and...

   Herbert Silberer’s Hidden Symbolism of Alchemy and the Occult Arts (1917) explores the deeper meanings behind alchemical texts, Rosicrucian allegories, and mystical traditions, arguing that these works are not simply about chemical experiments but are symbolic accounts of inner transformation. Using both Freudian psychoanalysis and spiritual interpretation, Silberer demonstrates how myths, dreams, and esoteric emblems express unconscious drives as well as higher religious aspirations. He presents an old alchemical parable as a case study, then analyzes it through multiple layers—psychological, mystical, and natural-philosophical—before synthesizing these perspectives into a vision of regeneration, introversion, and the ultimate goal of union with the divine.

  While there are a few short articles and guides addressing the challenges and complexities of leading white affinity groups, there has never been a detailed handbook exclusively for white racial affinity group facilitators. There are many challenges in facilitating these groups, including the need to have a deep theoretical understanding of racism, a high degree of racial self-awareness, sensitivity to and the ability to work with the range of skills and degrees of awareness participants bring, and strong facilitation and conflict-resolution skills. This book is the first in-depth guide for educators, mediators, workplace consultants and trainers, workplace diversity groups, community organizers, conference organizers, members of faith communities, and members of racial and social justice groups. Dr. Robin DiAngelo and Amy Burtaine, who collectively bring over twenty years of experience leading anti-racist education and racial affinity groups, present the following: · a theoretical framework for understanding racism; · a case for the value of racial affinity groups as a tool for challenging racism; · guidelines for setting up affinity groups in a variety of contexts; · the skills and perspectives needed for effective facilitation; · scenarios to illustrate common challenges; · a glossary of definitions; · exercises, discussion prompts, and assessment tools. · an extensive list of common patterns and group dynamics and how to address them This accessible guide is an important reference for anyone committed to anti-racism work.

  Puerto Rico - A History of...

  Puerto Rico’s economic history is a complex narrative shaped by its geography, colonial past, and evolving relationship with the United States. As an island strategically positioned in the Caribbean, Puerto Rico has long been a crossroads of trade and cultural exchange. Its economic transformations have been influenced by global markets, shifting policies, and the resilience of its people. From the early days of indigenous trade and Spanish colonial rule to its modern struggles with debt and recovery, the island’s economy has undergone dramatic shifts that reflect broader historical forces.  
  Before European contact, Puerto Rico’s indigenous Taíno population lived in a society largely based on subsistence farming, fishing, and trade with neighboring islands. The arrival of Spanish colonizers in 1493 fundamentally altered the island’s economic structure, introducing mercantilist policies that prioritized resource extraction for the benefit of Spain. The encomienda system, which forced indigenous labor into agricultural production and mining, marked the beginning of Puerto Rico’s long history of external economic control. As sugarcane, coffee, and tobacco plantations expanded, the island became increasingly dependent on these cash crops, with African slaves and, later, poor laborers fueling the agricultural economy.  
  In 1898, Puerto Rico’s economic trajectory changed abruptly when the United States took control following the Spanish-American War. The transition from Spanish to American rule reshaped trade networks, introducing new economic policies that favored U.S. business interests. The Foraker Act of 1900 established a civilian government but left Puerto Rico politically and economically subordinate to the United States. The shift from a Spanish mercantile system to an American capitalist framework brought opportunities but also deep inequalities.
