Sinopsis

"Racism's Subtle Layers" offers a compelling exploration of how seemingly neutral social systems perpetuate racial inequities in modern society. Moving beyond obvious forms of discrimination, this comprehensive analysis reveals the hidden mechanisms that maintain racial hierarchies across education, healthcare, criminal justice, and employment sectors.

 
Through a carefully structured examination, the book demonstrates how racist practices have evolved from overt expressions to more subtle, systemic forms that operate without conscious intent. The work stands out for its innovative focus on process rather than intent, drawing from five decades of longitudinal studies and cross-country data to illustrate how routine organizational procedures can produce discriminatory outcomes.

 
Particularly fascinating is the book's revelation of how accumulated disadvantages create persistent barriers, even in systems that appear colorblind on the surface. The analysis combines quantitative data on wealth disparities and educational outcomes with qualitative studies of lived experiences, creating a comprehensive picture of modern systemic racism.

 
The book progresses logically through three major sections, beginning with historical context, moving through current mechanisms of systemic racism, and concluding with practical frameworks for institutional reform. Written for policymakers, educators, and organizational leaders, it provides concrete tools for identifying and addressing racial inequities while maintaining scientific objectivity. This approach makes complex sociological concepts accessible without sacrificing academic rigor, offering readers both theoretical understanding and practical applications for implementing equitable practices in organizational settings.

Kill Caesar! - Assassination in...

Rose Mary Sheldon

“Why were Rome’s first emperors—the good, the bad, and the ugly—so vulnerable to conspiracies and assassination? . . . an expert analysis . . . compelling.” —Adrienne Mayor, author of The Poison King: The Life and Legend of Mithradates and Rome’s Deadliest Enemy Exploring the history of internal security under the first Roman dynasty, this groundbreaking book answers the enduring question: If there were 9,000 men guarding the emperor, how were three-quarters of Rome’s leaders assassinated? Rose Mary Sheldon traces the evolution of internal security mechanisms under the Julio-Claudians, evaluating the system that Augustus first developed to protect the imperial family and the stability of his dynasty. Yet in spite of the intensive precautions taken, there were multiple attempts on his life. Like all emperors, Augustus had a number of competing constituencies—the senate, the army, his extended family, the provincials, and the populace of Rome—but were they all equally threatening? Indeed, the biggest threat would come from those closest to the emperor—his family and the aristocracy. Even Roman imperial women were deeply involved in instigating regime change. By the fourth emperor, Caligula, the Praetorian Guards were already participating in assassinations, and the army too was becoming more politicized. Sheldon weighs the accuracy of ancient sources: Does the image of the emperor presented to us represent reality or what the people who killed him wanted us to think? Were Caligula and Nero really crazy, or did senatorial historians portray them that way to justify their murder? Was Claudius really the fool found drooling behind a curtain and made emperor, or was he in on the plot from the beginning? These and other fascinating questions are answered as Sheldon concludes that the repeated problem of “killing Caesar” reflected the empire’s larger dynamics and turmoil.

Of Gods and Men

Francis Story

We are all familiar with the fact that man in former days 
readily believed in the existence of an unseen world, a world 
of ghosts, demons, nature-spirits which were worshipped as gods, 
and a host of other supernatural beings. This world lay all about him 
and in some respects was more real to him than the physical world. 
It was his belief in it, and in the power of the forces it contained, that 
gave birth first to primitive magic and later to religion. 
 
Even today, vast numbers of people all over the world, and not 
merely among savage tribes or backward peasantry, but in 
advanced and educated communities, particularly in Asia, still 
believe in this mysterious realm and in various classes of beings 
that inhabit it, to an extent that would surprise most Westerners 
apart from those who have made a study of the subject. To the 
Asian mind it is equally surprising that Westerners, with the 
exception of spiritualists, are sceptical regarding it.

Spirit Voices - The Mysteries...

David Shi

A guide to authentic North Asian Shamanism, past and present 
 
 
  
The word shamanism is frequently bandied about but rarely used accurately. Shamanologist Nicholas Breeze Wood coined the following definition: "A shaman is someone chose by the spirits [typically at/before birth] and who can go into a controlled and repeatable deliberate trance state, during which they: A) experience 'spirit flight,' where they go to meet the spirit worlds and meet spirits, who they either fight with, negotiate with, or trick, in order to create change in this physical world, or B) are often taken over/possessed by the spirits (normally ancestral shaman spirits, or local land spirits) while in this physical world—the spirits using the shaman's voice and body to heal, or give advice to members of the shaman's community.  Without the spirits, and their blessing, a shaman can not exist or function. Without the trance state, it is not shamanism." 
 
 
 
Author David Shi, for whom these are family traditions, explores the history and practice of shamanism. What is it? Where is it from? How does one become a shaman? Shi guides listeners through unfamiliar territory—the landscape of North Asia—and through what are largely hidden and unfamiliar traditions. Spirit Voices takes and in-depth look at three main cultural shamanic traditions: Turkic, Mongolic, and Tungus.
