Sinopse

In "Jewish History," Simon Dubnow offers a comprehensive narrative that spans millennia, meticulously tracing the Jewish experience from ancient times to the modern era. Dubnow's literary style is characterized by a rich, analytical prose combined with a profound empathy for his subjects, reflecting a deep understanding of both historical complexity and cultural nuance. The work is rooted in the broader context of Eastern European Jewish historiography, where Dubnow's innovative approach emphasized the importance of cultural history alongside political and social developments, effectively marrying narrative storytelling with academic rigor. Dubnow was a pioneering historian, philosopher, and advocate for Jewish nationalism, whose own life was deeply impacted by the tumultuous changes in Eastern Europe during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His personal experiences of Jewish life, coupled with the rise of anti-Semitism and the struggles for national identity, informed his scholarly pursuits and led him to articulate a vision that championed Jewish self-awareness through historical understanding. Dubnow's commitment to preserving Jewish history is both a testament to his intellectual endeavors and his enduring legacy in the field of Jewish studies. This seminal work is highly recommended for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the complexities of Jewish identity and the significance of historical narrative in shaping collective memory. Dubnow's nuanced perspective invites readers to reflect on the past while encouraging a deeper appreciation for the ongoing evolution of Jewish culture and history.

    America is in its last days. While it has become great again on a short-term basis, in the long term, America falls, and this author proves this authoritatively and persuasively in a very interesting and articulate manner. 
    We have experts ad infinitum on everything about America's past, present, and future, but nearly all the experts focus on a pure secular perspective, void of any acknowledgment of the spiritual. This audiobook includes both to arrive at a far more realistic and fact-based forecast of America's future. Whether you are a secular historian or a devout Christian, you'll be stretched with ideas in this audiobook you've never heard anywhere else. You'll also get the answer to a question no one has fully answered up to now. 
    What motivates radical liberals to do what they are doing? The author takes you inside the mind of a liberal like no one else ever has. You'll finally know what makes them tick. What if America was on the verge of a massive market crash, but all the experts kept saying the economy has nowhere to go but up, and all the books and talking heads promised a bright and prosperous future? In such an environment, would you not be wise to at least read one contrarian book that indicated the market may be poised for a horrendous crash? If America is on the precipice of darkness, don't you want to know? 
    This audiobook about America's future may be the most important audiobook you'll ever listen to. There are three chapters you cannot afford to miss:The psychology of liberalismWhat God says about narcissism and psychopathyThe trajectory of America's final days 
    Fasten your seat belt, because this audiobook is not what you expect.

    Between World War II and 1980, tens of thousands of Black people moved to Boston from the South as part of the Great Migration, one of the most consequential mass movements of people in American history. Black migration from the South transformed the city, as it did urban areas across the country. North to Boston is the first book to examine that important subject. 
     
     
     
    Blake Gumprecht traces the history of this migration and explores its impacts in greater depth through the lives of ten individuals, each the subject of one chapter. Those chapters are short biographies based on extensive interviews by the author and are told in an engaging style that reflects the author's background as a journalist. 
     
     
     
    The ten people featured came from six southern states. They fled racism, limited opportunity, and hopelessness, and moved north in pursuit of better jobs, equal treatment, and greater freedom. They settled in neighborhoods such as Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan. They worked as teachers, factory workers, welders, and security guards. Their stories are emblematic of the experiences of Black people everywhere who left the South, and provide a rare glimpse into the lives of ordinary people living in one city's Black community.

    Slave Breeding - Sex Violence...

    Gregory D. Smithers

    • 0
    For over two centuries, the topic of slave breeding has occupied a controversial place in the master narrative of American history. From nineteenth-century abolitionists to twentieth-century filmmakers and artists, Americans have debated whether slave owners deliberately and coercively manipulated the sexual practices and marital status of enslaved African Americans to reproduce new generations of slaves for profit. 
     
     
     
    In this bold and provocative book, historian Gregory Smithers investigates how African Americans have narrated, remembered, and represented slave-breeding practices. He argues that while social and economic historians have downplayed the significance of slave breeding, African Americans have refused to forget the violence and sexual coercion associated with the plantation South. By placing African American histories and memories of slave breeding within the larger context of America's history of racial and gender discrimination, Smithers sheds much-needed light on African American collective memory, racialized perceptions of fragile black families, and the long history of racially motivated violence against men, women, and children of color.
