Summary

The Journal of Negro History: 1918 serves as a pivotal historical document, encapsulating the complexities of African American life during a transformative era in U.S. history. The journal features scholarly articles that explore themes of race, culture, and identity, while also addressing the sociopolitical ramifications of World War I on the African American community. Its literary style is marked by rigorous academic analysis intertwined with personal narratives, reflective of the Harlem Renaissance's influence. These essays not only contribute to the discourse of race relations but also challenge prevailing stereotypes with articulate and evidence-based arguments, creating a rich tapestry that informs contemporary understanding. The Journal was published under the auspices of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, founded by scholar Carter G. Woodson, often considered the 'Father of Black History.' Woodson's commitment to documenting and studying African American history stemmed from a desire to provide a counter-narrative to prevailing racial prejudice and to foster pride within the community. His vision motivated a generation of scholars who contributed to this volume, making it a lasting testament to the intellectual legacy of African American thought. I highly recommend The Journal of Negro History: 1918 to anyone interested in exploring the depths of African American history and culture. It offers invaluable insights for historians, scholars, and lay readers alike, encouraging a deeper understanding of racial dynamics and contributions of African Americans in shaping modern society. This publication not only enriches historical knowledge but also challenges readers to reflect on the ongoing struggles for equality.

    "An invaluable assessment of Lewis's reception in the United States, offering important insights into both Lewis's significance and the distinctives of the American religious mind." – Alister McGrath, Oxford University
Perhaps no other literary figure has transformed the American religious landscape in recent history as much as C. S. Lewis. Even before the international publication and incredible success of his fictional works such as The Chronicles of Narnia or apologetic works like Mere Christianity, Lewis was already being read "across the pond" in America. But who exactly was reading his work? And how was he received?
With fresh research and shrewd analysis, this volume by noted historian Mark A. Noll considers the surprising reception of Lewis among Roman Catholic, mainline Protestant, and evangelical readers to see how early readings of the Oxford don shaped his later influence.
Based on the annual lecture series hosted at Wheaton College's Marion E. Wade Center, volumes in the Hansen Series reflect on the imaginative work and lasting influence of seven British authors: Owen Barfield, G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, George MacDonald, Dorothy L. Sayers, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams.

    What kind of political structure might one day enable Israelis and Palestinians to overcome the seemingly interminable cycle of violence and live in peace with one another? For many years, politicians and citizens have called for a two-state solution—two independent states, Israel and Palestine, coexisting side by side. This was Shlomo Sand's view too, but as more settlements were built in the occupied West Bank and millions of Palestinians were forced to live in a situation of de facto apartheid, deprived of their basic civil rights and political freedoms, he came to the conclusion that the two-state solution had become an empty formula that no one seriously intended to implement. 
 
 
 
It was in this context that Sand sought to find an alternative way out of the Israeli-Palestinian imbroglio. He discovered that some Zionists and other Jewish intellectuals had rejected the idea of an exclusive Jewish state and had supported moves to create a binational federation. They believed that only egalitarian integration within the framework of a common state would ensure that Israel could be a safe haven for all of its inhabitants. While the chances of realizing this egalitarian vision may seem remote in the current hostile context, it may well be that a binational state in which Israelis and Palestinians are treated as equals is the only realistic solution in the end.

    Who is 'Mad'? Who is Not? And Who Decides?
In this fascinating new exploration of mental illness, Professor Brendan Kelly examines 'madness' in history and how we have responded to it over the centuries.
We travel from the psychiatric institutions of modern India to scientific studies of the brain in Victorian England. We discover the beginnings of formal asylum care and witness the experimental therapies of the cavernous psychiatric hospitals of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Ireland, England, Belgium, Italy, Germany and the United States.
Covering lobotomy and the Nazis' Aktion T4 campaign, as well as Freud, psychoanalysis, cognitive behavioural therapy and neuroscience, In Search of Madness examines the shift in recent times from 'psychobabble' to 'neurobabble'.
This is an all encompassing history of one of the most basic fears to haunt the human psyche – madness – and it concludes with a passionate manifesto for change: four proposals to make mental health services more effective, accessible and just.

    Black Hawk Down: The Truth Behind the Fog 
By Naveed Ali Sheikh 
An elite U.S. task force descends on the Olympic Hotel to capture top warlords. Within hours, the mission spirals into chaos: two Black Hawk helicopters shot down, American soldiers pinned under relentless fire, and the streets of Somalia ablaze with rage. 
What the world saw was a tragic tale of courage and loss. 
What it didn’t see was who came to save them. 
In this groundbreaking and controversial account, Naveed Ali Sheikh unearths the suppressed truth behind Operation Gothic Serpent—the role of the Pakistani Armed Forces, who spearheaded the rescue of trapped American Delta Force and Rangers when no one else could. 
Drawing from eyewitness testimonies, military records, and declassified sources, Sheikh sheds light on the unrecognized heroism of Pakistani UN troops who fought through enemy lines, held their ground under intense fire, and pulled the wounded from the jaws of certain death. 
This is not just a retelling of a failed mission— 
It is a correction of the historical record. 
It is the voice of the forgotten. 
It is the truth behind the fog. 
Daring. Unflinching. Necessary.🖋️ About the Author
