Working America - A History of Race Labor and the American Dream

Pasquale De Marco

Beschreibung

This book is a comprehensive history of American labor, exploring the complex interplay between race, ethnicity, and the American Dream. Through the stories of individual workers, we witness the human toll of economic inequality and discrimination, as well as the resilience and determination of working people in the face of oppression.

From the arrival of the first European settlers to the present day, the struggle for economic justice and equality has been a defining characteristic of the American experience. This book delves into the forced labor of enslaved Africans, the exploitation of immigrant workers, the rise of labor unions, and the ongoing fight for workers' rights.

The book also examines the ways in which race and ethnicity have shaped the experiences of working people. From the discriminatory policies of the Jim Crow era to the ongoing legacy of racism and discrimination in the workplace, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the challenges facing workers of color.

This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in American history, labor studies, or social justice. It is a testament to the resilience and determination of American workers, and a call to action for a more just and equitable future.

In addition to its historical analysis, this book offers a glimpse into the lives of individual workers, bringing their stories to life and highlighting the human cost of economic inequality and discrimination. These stories remind us that the fight for workers' rights is not just a matter of statistics and policy, but a deeply personal struggle for dignity and justice.

This book is a powerful reminder that the history of American labor is a story of struggle, progress, and the ongoing pursuit of the American Dream. It is a story that is still unfolding, and one that we must continue to tell.

Escaping Enemy Mode - How Our...

Jim Wilder, Ray Woolridge,...

Who’s your biggest enemy? Possibly you?Enemy Mode is an immensely damaging brain state that occurs in everyday life. In enemy mode, a person sees and experiences others as adversaries. Living in this mode poisons family and community bonds. It contributes to social stress, business failure, divorce, alienation, domestic violence, crime, racism, and international violence. Social media magnifies the impact of enemy mode toward almost all topics or persons imaginable.Longtime author and neuropsychologist Dr. Jim Wilder explains how the brain develops enemy mode and searches for ways to get the brain to “refriend.” Since a brain in enemy mode cannot tell when someone is trying to help, it rejects or attacks its allies, including refrienders. Wilder puts his years of research to the test in assessing the impossible task put forth by the Christian faith: to love one’s enemies. After being trained in enemy mode through the military, business, and even friendships, retired Brigadier General Ray Woolridge comes alongside Wilder, bringing the reader on his journey of learning to refriend. He interviews leaders in sports, business, the military, law enforcement, politics, health care, and education, assessing the enemy mode impact on lives and culture. Can Wilder and Woolridge figure out how enemy mode works and craft a solution? And can they get people and institutions to implement those solutions? This book is for all who desire to be better equipped to face the barrage of daily relational stressors that come at them. It’s for all who long for more harmonious relationships at home, in the workplace, and in their communities.

Anglo-Saxons - History of the...

Kelly Mass

In the Early Middle Ages, the Anglo-Saxons were a cultural group that resided in England. They traced their roots back to the arrival of incomers to Britain in the fifth century, who originated from the North Sea coastlands of continental Europe. The ethnogenesis of the Anglo-Saxons, on the other hand, happened in Britain, and the identity wasn't just imported. The contact between getting in groups of people from some Germanic tribe, both amongst themselves and with native British populations, led to the facility of an Anglo-Saxon identity. A lot of the native tribes ultimately incorporated and embraced Anglo-Saxon society and language. The Anglo-Saxons established the idea of England and the Kingdom of England, and while the modern English language owes practically 26% of its vocabulary to them, this includes the great bulk of words used in daily discussion. 
The Anglo-Saxon period in history describes the period in Britain from roughly 450 and 1066, starting with their preliminary settlement and ending with the Norman Conquest. 
Let’s have a look at how this time period has influenced European history, and what else was so significant about the Anglo-Saxon civilization.
