Sinopse

In "The Histories of Polybius," the ancient historian offers a meticulous account of the rise of the Roman Republic and its dominion over the Mediterranean world from 264 to 146 BCE. Written with striking clarity and employing a rigorous analytical style, Polybius' work is characterized by a systematic approach that emphasizes causation and the importance of firsthand evidence. He delves deeply into the interplay of military and political events, framing them within the context of broader philosophical themes, thus situating his text within the traditions of Hellenistic historiography. His innovative narrative techniques, combining anecdotal details with a comprehensive evaluation of power dynamics, have positioned this work as a cornerstone in historical writing, influencing future generations of historians. Polybius, born into a prominent Greek family of Megalopolis, was not only a witness to the tumultuous events of his time but also a participant in the political machinations that shaped them. His experience as a prisoner in Rome afforded him unique insights into Roman governance and society, leading him to explore themes of fate, fortune, and the cyclical nature of history. His intellectual lineage, steeped in Stoicism and the teachings of earlier historians, further informed his analytical lens, allowing him to craft a narrative that remains relevant. This seminal work is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of ancient warfare, politics, and the evolution of one of history's greatest powers. Scholars, students, and enthusiasts of ancient history will find Polybius captivatingly informative, as he seamlessly intertwines critical events with the philosophical implications, inviting readers to contemplate the nature of power and progress in the ancient world.

    Joy Unspeakable focuses on the aspects of the Black church that point beyond particular congregational gatherings toward a mystical and communal spirituality not within the exclusive domain of any denomination. This mystical aspect of the black church is deeply implicated in the wellbeing of African American people but is not the focus of their intentional reflection. Moreover, its traditions are deeply ensconced within the historical memory of the wider society and can be found in Coltrane's riffs, Malcolm's exhortations, the social activism of the Black Lives Matter Movement and the presidency of Barack Hussein Obama. The research in this book—through oral histories, church records, and written accounts—details not only ways in which contemplative experience is built into African American collective worship but also the legacy of African monasticism, a history of spiritual exemplars, and unique meditative worship practices. A groundbreaking work in its original edition, Joy Unspeakable now appears in a new, revised edition to address the effects of this contemplative tradition on activism and politics and to speak to a new generation of readers and scholars.

    The Métis people, later one of the three recognized aboriginal groups in Canada, were an indigenous group that came from marriages between French traders and native women, but Scotch and English cultures were also heavy influencers among the Métis. The term comes from a Latin word for “to mix” and originally referred to the children of these relationships, but the Métis would grow to become a major intermediary between the white settlers moving across North America and native fur traders, and during the 19th century, the Métis “considered themselves a separate nation, different from other people, including the Indians and the French.” 
    Like other native groups, as settlers began further encroaching on territory they inhabited, tensions boiled. In June 1816, a group of Métis attacked Red River colonists and their acting governor at a point known as Seven Oaks. Cuthbert Grant, a Métis fighter, had carried out several attacks against the Red River Colony and Hudson’s Bay Company’s posts, and this pattern would continue until the whites were driven out of Red River altogether. 
    Of course, that local victory wouldn’t stop the inexorable march of settlement altogether, and over the decades, there would be more fighting, with the most notorious outbreak coming in the 1880s. That resistance movement is widely known today as the North-West Rebellion, and all the factors that had gone into forming Canada as it is recognizable today would be at play.
