Sinopsis

The 1619 Project is an anthology of essays edited by Nikole Hannah-Jones and co-created with the New York Times that seeks to reframe American history with the institution of slavery at its core. The book asserts that American history began in 1619 with the arrival of the first ship of enslaved Africans, one year before the Mayflower arrived. 

...It also argues that, American democracy and the prosperous nation we know today were largely built by enslaved Black Americans but that this demographic is almost entirely excluded from America’s founding stories and remains suppressed today due to racist institutions that persist from slavery.

Time for the world to learn from...

Ruth Finnegan

It is a common notion that Africa has, and indeed ought to have, learned much from the west. This is not wrong; all cultures rightly learn from each other. But less is said of what there is to learn from Africa: from her stories, myths, music, proverbs, insights - and more. Here an acclaimed African scholar steps into the gap with a prize winning account that uncovers something of the great legacy of African thought and practice in ways that will astonish many. Written with verve and authority and directed above all to students and sixth formers, this book will also delight and often surprise those who know something of Africa as well as those hitherto ignorant. 
 Ruth Finnegan OBE FBA is Emeritus Professor The Open University, Foreign Associate of the Finnish Literature Bureau, and International Fellow of the American Folklore Society. An anthropologist and multi-award author, she has published extensively, chiefly on Africa, musical practice, and English urban life. Recent books include How is Language?, Fiji's Music: Where Did It Come From?, her edited Entrancement: The Consciousness of Dreaming, Music and The World, and several prize-winning Africa-influenced novels, including The Black Inked Pearl and Voyage of Pearl of the Seas.

The Rise and Fall of Brazil's...

Anya Solace

Brazil’s industrial foundations were shaped by its colonial past, rich natural resources, and evolving economic policies. The country’s transition from an agrarian economy to an industrial powerhouse was a long and complex process influenced by global trade dynamics, government intervention, and social changes. Understanding these foundations provides insight into the rise and fall of Brazil’s economic giants.
The origins of Brazil’s economy date back to the colonial period under Portuguese rule. Initially, the country’s economic activities were centered around agriculture, particularly the production of sugarcane, which became the backbone of Brazil’s early commerce. The Portuguese established large sugar plantations, or engenhos, along the northeastern coast, relying heavily on enslaved labor from Africa. This agricultural-based economy set the stage for Brazil’s role as a key exporter of raw materials, a trend that would persist for centuries. As global demand for sugar declined in the 17th and 18th centuries, Brazil’s economy diversified into gold mining, particularly in the state of Minas Gerais. The discovery of gold and diamonds attracted European settlers and boosted trade, but much of the wealth was extracted by the Portuguese crown, limiting local reinvestment. The reliance on commodity exports, without substantial industrial development, created a pattern that continued into modern times.
Brazil’s shift toward industrialization began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, spurred by the decline of slavery, urbanization, and increasing foreign investment. The abolition of slavery in 1888 led to significant demographic changes, with many freed individuals moving to urban centers in search of work. Around the same time, European immigrants arrived in large numbers, bringing skills that contributed to Brazil’s growing workforce. The coffee boom of the late 19th century played a crucial role in financing Brazil’s early industries.
