Sinopsis

Colonial Exploitation examines how the pursuit of colonies irrevocably shaped the modern world, focusing on the lasting legacies of exploitation that continue to influence global dynamics. It argues that understanding the intricacies of colonial exploitation is crucial for grasping today's geopolitical tensions, economic inequalities, and cultural clashes.

 
The book highlights how colonies were systematically used as sources of raw materials and captive markets, leading to significant underdevelopment of local industries. It also explores how colonizers imposed foreign languages and educational systems while suppressing indigenous traditions, fundamentally altering colonized societies.

 
The book begins by establishing a theoretical foundation, defining colonialism, imperialism, and neo-colonialism. It then progresses through three sections, analyzing the economic dimensions of exploitation, cultural impacts, and political strategies used to maintain control.

 
Unlike traditional accounts, this study balances the narrative by giving substantial attention to the experiences and perspectives of colonized peoples, highlighting their resistance and resilience.

 
Culminating by connecting historical patterns to contemporary issues such as global trade imbalances and political instability, Colonial Exploitation demonstrates how the past continues to shape our present. This approach provides readers with a balanced account that challenges simplistic narratives and encourages a critical re-evaluation of global power dynamics, making it valuable for anyone interested in world history and postcolonial studies.

The Cadence of a Song - The Life...

Fiona J. Mackenzie

The first biography of one of the twentieth century's foremost champions of Hebridean culture.
The American-born folklorist and musician Margaret Fay Shaw's passion for the Hebrides led her to the island of South Uist in 1929 and then to Canna in 1935 as the wife of the eminent folklorist John Lorne Campbell.
Her extraordinary work in documenting and preserving traditional Gaelic songs and customs remains a vital resource for understanding Hebridean music, and the Campbells' house on Canna is a unique collection of priceless material celebrating the Hebridean world. This vast archive also includes Margarets collection of still and film photography, which capture the essence of island life at a time when old traditions were vanishing.
This book celebrates the legacy and life of a remarkable woman, who herself wrote with such wit and flair of her travels and adventures and which took her from turn of-the-century Pennsylvania to 1920s New York, Paris, Nova Scotia and the Hebrides, where she lived until her death in 2004.
Fiona J. Mackenzie has been named as one of The List's Hot 100 Arts and Culture Contributors in Scotland for 2025.

From scarcity to abundance - A...

Maricela Soberanes

FROM SCARCITY TO ABUNDANCE
WHAT IF your limiting believes disappeared overnight?
WHAT IF there was no "victim syndrome' to hide behind?
WHAT IF you realize you are enough and deserving?
WHAT IF living life to the full potential was your only option?
WHAT IF you you assume one hundred percent ownership of your resources and your life?
With the tools provided in this book, you will feel empowered to take action and begin to write your own success story.
This book is written for those aspiring entrepreneurs chained to their "comfort zone" and tormented with self-imposed limiting believes.
This book is written through the eyes of a young girl as she witnesses her mother overcome poverty, physical abuse, scarcity of essential resources, and societal suppression. Based on true stories which took place over two decades, starting in the 1980s between Mexico City and the province of Mexico. The young girl was the fourth generation and destined to continue the cycle of scarcity. Through the mentorship, continued encouragement, and support received through her mother and grandmother, she escaped to a mindset of abundance.
The survivalist skills she developed and the life principles passed on from generation to generation are the only tools she inherits to break the chains that keep most people in similar situations tied to their "comfort zone." Now, as an adult, the young girl's lenses of innocence are removed. She abstracts the principles that helped her go from scarcity to abundance and shares them here to empower the readers to do the same. She calls them the Mastermind principles: the grouped principles of resilience, tenacity, accountability, visualization, and self-imposed responsibility. The author invites you to follow these principles to break away from any chains that keep you from living a life of abundance and holistic wealth.
~Wealth is a state of mind. Maricela S.

On Gaslighting

Kate Abramson

"Gaslighting" is suddenly in everyone's vocabulary. It's written about, talked about, tweeted about, even sung about. It's become shorthand for being manipulated by someone who insists that up is down, hot is cold, dark is light—someone who isn't just lying about such things, but trying to drive you crazy. The term has its origins in a 1944 film in which a husband does exactly that to his wife, his crazy-making efforts symbolized by the rise and fall of the gaslights in their home. In this timely and provocative book, Kate Abramson examines gaslighting from a philosophical perspective, investigating it as a distinctive moral phenomenon. 
 
 
 
Gaslighting, Abramson writes, is best understood as a form of interpersonal interaction, a particular way of fundamentally undermining someone. The gaslighter, Abramson argues, aims to make his target experience herself as incapable of reasoning, perceiving, or reacting in ways that would allow her to form appropriate beliefs, perceptions, or emotions in the first place. He seeks not only to induce in her this unmoored sense of herself but also to make it a reality. Using examples and analysis, Abramson gives an account of gaslighting and its immorality, and argues that such a discussion can help us understand other aspects of social life—from racism and sexism to the structure of interpersonal trust.

The Value Gap - Female-Driven...

Courtney Brannon Donoghue

Conversations about gender equity in the workplace accelerated in the 2010s, with debates inside Hollywood specifically pointing to broader systemic problems of employment disparities and exploitative labor practices. Compounded by the devastating #MeToo revelations, these problems led to a wide-scale call for change. The Value Gap traces female-driven filmmaking across development, financing, production, film festivals, marketing, and distribution, examining the realities facing women working in the industry during this transformative moment. Drawing from five years of extensive interviews with female producers, writers, and directors at different stages of their careers, Courtney Brannon Donoghue examines how Hollywood business cultures "value" female-driven projects as risky or not bankable. Industry claims that "movies targeting female audiences don't make money" or "women can't direct big-budget blockbusters" have long circulated to rationalize systemic gender inequities and have served to normalize studios prioritizing the white male–driven status quo. Through a critical media industry studies lens, The Value Gap challenges this pervasive logic with firsthand accounts of women actively navigating the male-dominated and conglomerate-owned industrial landscape.

Israel and Civilization - The...

Josh Hammer

In Israel and Civilization, acclaimed journalist, legal expert, and pundit Josh Hammer makes a righteous case that the key to the prosperity of the West is the flourishing of the Jewish people and the Jewish State of Israel. 
 
 
 
There can be no overstating the impact of the trauma of October 7, 2023, on the Jewish people. Yet the anti-Israel reactions the world over have been equally devastating. Rallies of hundreds of thousands explicitly or implicitly promoting Hamas violence; demonstrations of Ivy League professors celebrating the pogrom as awesome and exhilarating; so-called human rights organizations that refuse to unequivocally condemn the use of rape as a weapon of war; and a hydra of multiculturalism, postmodern relativism, and tolerance—it all threatens the physical and metaphysical survival of the West and our essential Jewish heritage. 
 
 
 
Preserving the best of what's been thought and said throughout history and ensuring that there will be centuries more requires a West that is proud of its Jewish heritage. In other words, the continued existence of the Jewish people is inextricably tied to the endurance of Western civilization. Israel is the center of the battle, and Israel and Civilization explains why and how the Jewish state must win.
