Social Justice

Thea Able

Summary

"Social Justice" offers a comprehensive exploration of the ongoing struggle for equality in our modern world, focusing on systemic inequality, intersectionality, and digital-age activism. This timely analysis delves into the complex issues surrounding social justice, tracing the evolution of movements from the Civil Rights era to present-day advocacy.

The book argues that achieving true equality requires addressing deep-rooted systemic inequalities rather than treating surface-level symptoms. Through a combination of academic research, government reports, and first-hand accounts, the book examines how various forms of discrimination intersect and reinforce each other. It highlights the importance of understanding these intersections to grasp the challenges faced by marginalized communities fully.

The book's structure progresses from introducing key concepts to exploring specific case studies, examining intersectionality, and finally discussing modern activism techniques. What sets this work apart is its emphasis on intersectionality and its accessible yet rigorous approach to complex social issues.

By interweaving personal stories with data and theory, "Social Justice" provides readers with a nuanced understanding of contemporary debates while offering practical strategies for recognizing biases and creating more inclusive policies. This makes it an invaluable resource for students, activists, policymakers, and anyone seeking to engage meaningfully in the ongoing struggle for a more equitable society.

Pembrokeshire's Past

John Roobol

‘Pembrokeshire’s Past’ vividly and unforgettably brings to life the boisterous and turbulent history of this little-known Welsh peninsula jutting out into the Irish Sea. The book is a fascinating and unforgettable read. A great glacier overrode the mountains in the north and produced the blue stones of Stonehenge. Upper Palaeolithic mammoth hunters sheltered in limestone caves. As the climate warmed, Mesolithic people were followed by Neolithic people who left their spectacular stone burial chambers. Rising sea levels produced sunken forests around the coast. Bronze Age people left stone circles and burial mounds. Iron Age Celtic settlers left many hill forts. Turbulence followed with Roman, Irish, Viking and Norman invasions. The latter left the great stone castles. The Civil War was strongly contested. Lord Palmerston built many forts in the south. A great naval shipbuilding yard operated in Pembroke Dock. For beach walkers, the flora and fauna from the Amazon and Caribbean that wash ashore are described in all their remarkable and colourful detail.

Feminist Philosophy - A Very...

Katharine Jenkins

Katharine Jenkins offers an introduction to feminist philosophy, giving the listener an idea of what it is, why it is important, and how to think about it. She explores key topics such as gender oppression, beauty, objectification, and sexuality. Moreover, she considers questions about the relation between the personal and the political, what it is to be a woman, whether there is a distinctive kind of women's knowledge, and what feminist philosophy can bring to our understanding of such aspects of our world as justice, work, and the environment. Feminist Philosophy takes a richly intersectional approach, recognizing the combined impact of such factors as race and class as well as gender.

The Essential Fromm - Life...

Erich Fromm

Essays on human alienation, mode of existence, consumerism, narcissism, and more from “both a psychologist of penetration and a writer of ability” (Chicago Tribune). As Erich Fromm points out, ours is “a life between having and being”—between mere having and healthy being, between destructiveness and creativity, between narcissism and productive self-understanding, between passivity and the joy of positive activity. The alternatives of having and being are basic orientations of our character and determine our behavior. The mostly unpublished and unknown texts featured in The Essential Fromm encapsulate the psychologist’s views on the fulfilling life. To put down roots yet remain free is what the late Erich Fromm called the art of being. It is the secret of happiness.

Convoy Escort Commander - A...

Sir Peter Gretton

Vice Admiral Sir Peter Gretton's book is a brilliant account of his career in the navy through World War Two: fighting in the Second Battle of the Narvik and guarding convoys in the Mediterranean and the North Atlantic, before being placed in charge of Escort Group B7, which he described as "the finest job in the Navy for a new commander." It was in this role that Gretton, and the seven warships under his command, were able to make their contribution to turning the tide against the U-boat threat. 
 
 
 
On April 22, 1943, Gretton was in charge of the escort for Convoy ONS 5 during its journey across the North Atlantic. Over the course of the voyage they were attacked by over fifty U-boats, and although they lost thirteen ships they managed to sink six U-boats and seriously damage many more. The U-boats had never faced such fierce resistance to their lethal raids. What tactics had Gretton used to fend off Doenitz's terrifying submarine wolf packs? And how had these strategies developed over the course of the war? 
 
 
 
Convoy Escort Commander demonstrates how Allied commanders searched for new methods to repel U-boat assaults, including using direction-finding radio and radar, employing special tactical formations, coordinating with air cover, and endeavoring to keep the convoy together and prevent straggling.
