Sinopse

In W.E.B. Du Bois' influential work, 'The Suppression of the African Slave Trade to America (1638-1870)', the author meticulously examines the political, economic, and social factors that shaped the history of the slave trade. Du Bois' writing is characterized by thorough research, insightful analysis, and a powerful narrative style that brings to light the complexities of this dark chapter in American history. Through extensive archival research and in-depth exploration of primary sources, Du Bois sheds light on the ways in which the slave trade was not only a brutal economic enterprise but also a deeply rooted system of racial oppression. This book serves as a seminal work in African American historiography and contributes to the understanding of the impact of slavery on American society. W.E.B. Du Bois, a prominent civil rights leader and sociologist, drew upon his deep intellectual insight and personal experiences to pen this seminal work. As a leading voice in the fight for racial equality and social justice, Du Bois brings a unique perspective to the study of the African slave trade. 'The Suppression of the African Slave Trade to America' is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of history, race, and power dynamics in America.

    Mind Over Magick - Making Magick...

    How do we know if magick is real? Wherever you find people, there are stories about magick. Some are myth or folklore, others are tales meant to thrill and intrigue us, and others still are accounts of actual magick, real spirits, and the energetic properties of our natural world. The question is whether or not any of it is true. Mind Over Magick by Tracy Nicholas tackles this complicated—and often personal—inquiry by picking apart what we know, what we don’t know, and what we can’t possibly know, leaving us with an evidence-based case for the existence of magick in our world. She demonstrates many instances:How the placebo effect shows us that we can heal our bodies with no mechanical interventionHow all living beings as well as the earth, stars, and planets have electromagnetic fields that interact on a regular basis and affect one anotherHow multiple animals and insects, such as the platypus or bees, can detect the energy around themThrough a mix of philosophy, science, and common sense, Mind Over Magick examines what we can infer about magick from what we already know to be true. Nicholas identifies the psychological need to believe in a magick that supernaturally fixes all of our problems without discounting the reality that magick is accessible to us all.

    Ireland - Historical Background...

    This is a combo of two titles, which are about the following topics: 
    The Partition of Ireland: The Federal government of the U.K. of Great Britain and Ireland segmented Ireland into 2 independent polities: Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland. The government of Ireland Act 1920 was handed down May third, 1921. Both parts were to stay inside the UK, and the Act included arrangements for supreme reunification. 
    Northern Ireland was established with a devolved federal government and stayed a part of the U.K. Most occupants of Southern Ireland didn't recognize the self-proclaimed Irish Republic, choosing to recognize the larger Northern Ireland. The area of Southern Ireland withdrew from the U.K. and ended up being the Irish Free State, which is today the Republic of Ireland, following the Anglo-Irish Treaty. 
    The Irish Potato Famine: The year 1847, at times called "Black '47," was the absolute worst year of the period. Around 1 million people died and over a million left the nation throughout the Great Cravings, triggering the nation's population to come by 20% to 25%, with certain cities coming by as much as 67 percent between 1841 and 1851. And between the years 1845 and 1855, about 2.1 million people were leaving Ireland, primarily aboard package ships but also on steamboats and barks. This actually made it one of the biggest mass migrations from a single isle in all of history. 
    Let’s explore this tragic event in history, and let’s see what led up to this, what happened afterwards, and how historians look at it now.
