Sinossi

In "The Abolition Fight in England," Thomas Clarkson meticulously chronicles the arduous struggle against the transatlantic slave trade, blending rigorous historical research with impassioned prose. Published in 1808, the book is an epitome of Enlightenment thought, rich with empirical data and personal testimonies that illuminate the moral and ethical dimensions of abolitionism. Clarkson's literary style is characterized by a compelling narrative interspersed with persuasive rhetoric, aiming to engage both the intellect and the emotions of his readers during a time of escalating moral awareness regarding slavery. Thomas Clarkson, a prominent English abolitionist and social reformer, was profoundly influenced by his Quaker upbringing and a fervent commitment to social justice. His dedication to the abolitionist cause stemmed from a chance encounter with a ship's captain who recounted the horrors of the slave trade. This pivotal moment ignited Clarkson's lifelong mission, marked by extensive travels and meticulous research, ultimately leading to pivotal activism that swayed public opinion. This book is indispensable for anyone interested in social justice, the history of human rights, and the interplay of morality and law. Clarkson invites readers to grapple with the complexities of moral action, making it a profound exploration of conscience and activism that resonates with contemporary struggles for equality and justice.

    What are Islamic State is seeking to create a civil war in France; that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons; that Vladimir Putin is trying to destabilise our democracies; that terrorism has struck France, not for what it does, but for what it is; that the genocide in Darfur has claimed 400,000 victims?... Literally none, but these assertions are enough to establish the foreign policy of Western countries. The author, a former agent of the Swiss strategic intelligence service, reviews the main contemporary conflicts that Western countries have managed with fake news over the last thirty years. Jacques Baud, a colonel, chemical and nuclear weapons expert, trained in counter-terrorism and counter-guerrilla warfare, designed the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD) and its Information Management System for Mine Action (IMSMA). In the service of the United Nations, he served as Chief of Doctrine for Peacekeeping Operations in New York, and was engaged in Africa.

    Chile’s history is a tapestry woven with threads of indigenous heritage, colonial conquest, political revolution, and economic transformation. Stretching along the western edge of South America, Chile’s unique geography—bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the towering Andes to the east—has shaped not only its physical landscape but also its historical trajectory and economic development. The country’s diverse climates, from the arid Atacama Desert in the north to the fertile central valleys and the rugged, windswept terrain of Patagonia in the south, have influenced settlement patterns, agricultural practices, and resource exploitation for centuries. 
    Long before Spanish colonization, Chile was home to numerous indigenous groups, including the Mapuche, who fiercely resisted foreign domination. Their cultural legacy remains an integral part of Chile’s identity, despite centuries of marginalization. The arrival of Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century marked the beginning of a colonial era characterized by the extraction of natural resources, the establishment of a rigid social hierarchy, and the introduction of European institutions. The colonial economy relied heavily on agriculture, mining, and forced indigenous labor, laying the foundation for economic systems that persisted well into the post-independence period. 
    Chile’s struggle for independence from Spain in the early 19th century was part of the broader wave of liberation movements sweeping across Latin America. Achieving independence in 1818 under the leadership of figures like Bernardo O’Higgins and José de San Martín, Chile faced the daunting task of nation-building. The early republican period was marked by political instability and power struggles between conservative and liberal factions, each advocating different visions for Chile’s future.
