Synopsis

In "The Slave Trade: Slavery and Color," Theodore D. Jervey presents a compelling and nuanced examination of the intersections between racial identity and the transatlantic slave trade. Delving into historical accounts, legal documents, and personal narratives, Jervey employs a critical analytical lens, weaving together a tapestry of human experience that elucidates the painful realities of slavery. Writing in a style that marries scholarly rigor with accessible prose, he encourages readers to confront the complexities of race and morality embedded in the institution of slavery, positioning the work within the growing body of literature that seeks to reconcile America's past with its present socio-political landscape. Theodore D. Jervey is a historian and cultural critic with a keen interest in the socio-political ramifications of historical injustices. His academic background and deep commitment to uncovering marginalized voices have equipped him with unique insights into the subject of slavery and its enduring legacy on contemporary society. Jervey's extensive research travels and archival work have allowed him to engage intimately with the narratives of those who suffered under the yoke of slavery, instilling his writing with both authenticity and urgency. This profound exploration not only serves as an essential resource for scholars of American history and cultural studies but also speaks to a wider audience interested in understanding the long-lasting effects of slavery on American identity. I highly recommend "The Slave Trade: Slavery and Color" for anyone seeking a thought-provoking read that challenges preconceived notions of race and history while providing a necessary context for ongoing discussions about equality and justice.

    Christians need to pause once in a while to get their bearings. For perspective on our own times and how we got here, it helps to listen to wise guides from other eras. In An Infinite Fountain of Light, the renowned American historian George Marsden illuminates the landscape with wisdom from one such mentor: Jonathan Edwards.
    Drawing on his deep expertise on Edwards and American culture, Marsden explains where Edwards stood within his historical context and sets forth key points of his complex thought. By also considering Benjamin Franklin and George Whitefield, two of Edwards's most influential contemporaries, Marsden unpacks the competing cultural and religious impulses that have shaped our times. In contrast, Edwards offered us an exhilarating view of the centrality of God's beauty and love. Christians' love for God, he taught, can be the guiding love of our lives, opening us to transformative joy and orienting all our lesser loves.
    "There is an infinite fullness of all possible good in God, a fullness of every perfection, of all excellency and beauty, and of infinite happiness," wrote Edwards. "This infinite fountain of light should, diffusing its excellent fullness, pour forth light all around."
    With Marsden's guidance, readers will discover how Edwards's insights can renew our own vision of the divine, of creation, and of ourselves.

    If you think you know what mental health during and after pregnancy looks like, Persevered: A Maternal Mental Health Memoir will make you reconsider. This book is a raw personal account of surviving the darkest moments of new motherhood while juggling high expectations at home and at work. 
    Zivin takes the listener on an intimate and eye-opening journey that weaves together her perinatal medical records, journal entries, research, and imperfect memories. The story unfolds across hospital rooms, the author's home, and the university where she works, highlighting the complexity of holding on to one's identity when everything feels uncertain. Zivin writes with striking honesty about the confusion, guilt, and isolation that so many mothers experience alone but rarely admit to others. 
    Persevered moves beyond one woman's survival, breaking the silence that still surrounds maternal mental health. Zivin’s story reminds us that reaching out, sharing our experiences, and demanding better support can make a difference, not just for mothers but for families and communities. This memoir is for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed, anyone who has supported a loved one through challenging times, or anyone who believes that honest storytelling can spark real change.

    A feminist reinterpretation of the myths surrounding Cleopatra casts new light on the Egyptian queen and her legacy 
     
    The siren passionately in love with Mark Antony, the seductress who allegedly rolled out of a carpet she had herself smuggled in to see Caesar, Cleopatra is a figure shrouded in myth. Beyond the legends immortalized by Plutarch, Shakespeare, George Bernard Shaw, and others, there are no journals or letters written by Cleopatra herself. All we have to tell her story are words written by others. 
     
    What has it meant for our understanding of Cleopatra to have had her story told by writers who had a political agenda, authors who distrusted her motives, and historians who believed she was a liar? Francine Prose delves into ancient Greek and Roman literary sources, as well as modern representations of Cleopatra in art, theater, and film. She challenges the common narratives driven by orientalism and misogyny and offers a new interpretation of Cleopatra’s history from the lens of our own era.
