Sinopse

"Celestial Signs" explores the universal human impulse to find divine messages in the cosmos. Across cultures and throughout history, celestial events like planetary alignments and stellar constellations have been interpreted as communications from a higher power. This book examines how these interpretations have influenced religious beliefs, social structures, and even political power.

 
For instance, the book delves into the role of the North Star in ancient Egyptian religion, and the significance of lunar cycles in Islam. The book takes a comparative approach, analyzing various religious traditions side-by-side to reveal common themes and unique expressions of celestial interpretation. It begins by laying a foundation in archaeoastronomy and comparative religion before exploring case studies ranging from ancient Mesopotamian astrology to the Star of Bethlehem in Christianity.

 
By drawing on ancient texts, archaeological findings, and ethnographic studies, "Celestial Signs" sheds light on the intricate relationship between human spirituality, scientific understanding, and the perceived influence of the cosmos. The book also considers how scientific advancements have, at times, challenged traditional religious interpretations of celestial phenomena.

    A crucial component of anti-Black racism is the unconscionable disparity in health outcomes between Black and white Americans. Sickening examines this institutionalized inequality through dramatic, concrete events from the past two decades, revealing how unequal living conditions and inadequate medical care have become routine. 
     
     
     
    From the spike in chronic disease after Hurricane Katrina to the lack of protection for Black residents during the Flint water crisis—and even the life-threatening childbirth experience for tennis star Serena Williams—author Anne Pollock takes listeners on a journey through the diversity of anti-Black racism operating in healthcare. She goes beneath the surface to deconstruct the structures that make these events possible, including mass incarceration, police brutality, and the hypervisibility of Black athletes' bodies. Ultimately, Sickening shows what these shocking events reveal about the everyday racialization of health in the United States. 
     
     
     
    Concluding with an examination of racialized healthcare during the COVID pandemic and the Black Lives Matter rebellions of 2020, Sickening cuts through the mind-numbing statistics to vividly portray healthcare inequalities. In a gripping style, Pollock shows the devastating reality and consequences of systemic racism on the lives and health of Black Americans.
