  Shadows of Salem - Witch Hunts...

  Davis Truman

  In 1692, a small Puritan community in Massachusetts became the stage for one of the darkest episodes in American history. The Salem Witch Trials, fueled by superstition, religious zeal, and the fear of the unknown, led to over 150 accusations, countless shattered lives, and the executions of innocent men and women. But beyond the gallows and confessions lies a deeper story, one of resistance, power, and the origins of collective fear in America. 
  In Shadows of Salem, readers are taken inside the trials to witness how hysteria spread, how law was bent to justify injustice, and how individuals, like Giles Corey, chose silence and suffering over submission. Drawing on historical records, legal precedents, and cultural analysis, this book uncovers how Salem’s legacy shaped America’s enduring relationship with fear, authority, and social control. 
  From the use of spectral evidence to the crushing weight of peine forte et dure, Shadows of Salem explores not just what happened in 1692, but why it continues to haunt the American imagination. It is a story of mass panic and manipulation, but also of defiance and resilience, an essential lens for understanding both the past and the patterns of fear that still echo in modern society. 
  Perfect for readers of history, law, and cultural studies, Shadows of Salem offers a compelling examination of how hysteria becomes power, and how silence can be the most powerful act of resistance.

  How did medieval Africa impact the direction of the Middle Ages internationally? 
  When most people think about the Middle Ages, they think about Europe. Images of knights, jousting, and even Christianity seem ingrained in our understanding of the medieval era. However, the Middle Ages stretched far beyond Europe, which was struggling to rebuild after the fall of the Roman Empire. Europe may have fumbled along for about a thousand years, but Africa became a powerhouse of trade and wealth. 
  For years, many scholars have ignored medieval Africa. There aren’t many written documents from the African kingdoms, so historians rely on outside sources and archeology. Many people don’t realize Africa was brimming with innovation during this time or that it was connected to the outside world. Although historians don’t know everything about this period of African history, medieval Africa has not been lost to time. We still have so much to learn about this era and how it changed the world. 
  It’s time to set out on a journey to discover the empires and people who made medieval Africa so influential. In this new and captivating audiobook, you’ll learn how medieval Africa held its power and changed the world, impacting us today.
