  The Hidden Holocaust - The...

  The Holodomor, a man-made famine that devastated Ukraine between 1932 and 1933, has its roots in the policies of the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin. While the famine itself was a tragedy of immense proportions, its causes can be traced to the larger political and economic strategies of the Soviet regime. 
  The Soviet Union, in its quest for rapid industrialization, implemented harsh agricultural policies, which included forced collectivization. The idea was to consolidate small farms into larger collective farms, thereby increasing agricultural output and facilitating the redistribution of food to feed the growing industrial centers. However, this policy had disastrous effects on Ukraine, where agriculture was the backbone of the economy. 
  Collectivization forced Ukrainian peasants, who were traditionally independent farmers, into state-run collective farms. This not only disrupted agricultural production but also led to widespread resistance, as many Ukrainians viewed this as a direct attack on their way of life. The Soviets, determined to break this resistance, responded with brutal force. Those who opposed collectivization were often punished or executed, and the fertile lands of Ukraine were systematically confiscated. 
  Stalin’s government implemented the policy of grain requisitioning, where large amounts of grain were forcibly taken from Ukraine to support other areas of the Soviet Union. Ukraine, known as the “breadbasket” of the Soviet Union, became the primary target of these requisitions. The grain was not only taken for export but also used to fuel the industrial ambitions of the Soviet state. This left the Ukrainian population without sufficient food for survival, pushing them into a state of extreme deprivation.

  Rethinking Rescue - Dog Lady and...

  In Los Angeles's most underserved communities, Lori Weise is known as the Dog Lady, the woman who's spent decades caring for people in poverty and the animals that love them. Long before anyone else, Weise grasped that animal and human suffering are inextricably connected and created a new rescue narrative, an enduring safety net empowering pet owners and providing resources to reduce the number of pets coming into shelters. 
   
   
   
  Rethinking Rescue: Dog Lady and the Story of America's Forgotten People and Pets unites the causes of animal welfare and social justice, moving between Weise's story and that of the US rescue movement: from the dog's twentieth-century transition from property to family to the rise of the no kill campaign to stop shelter euthanasia and the contradictions that hampered those efforts. Through captivating storytelling and investigative reporting, Carol Mithers examines the consequences of bias within this overwhelmingly white movement, where an overemphasis on placing animals in affluent homes often disregards pet owners in poverty. Weise's innovative and ultimately triumphant efforts revealed a better way. 
   
   
   
  Rethinking Rescue boldly confronts two of the biggest challenges of our time—poverty and homelessness—in asking the very humane question, Who deserves the love of a pet?

  A Brief Manifesto on South American Identity 
  Have you ever wondered why seas around the world have names... but South America doesn't?

  This e-book is not intended to generalize in an attacking way, but rather to shed light on what has been hidden over the centuries — and which, in a certain way, continues to be silenced. 
  A deep analysis of the role of the sea in the formation of South American identity and integration. History, culture and politics connected by water.
