Du Bois: Selected Essays - Reflections on Race Inequality and Social Justice: A Critical Exploration

W.E.B. Du Bois

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "Du Bois: Selected Essays," W.E.B. Du Bois presents a compelling collection that dives deep into the complexities of race, identity, and social justice in early 20th-century America. His literary style merges eloquence with incisive social critique, reflecting the intellectual vigor of the Harlem Renaissance and the broader progressive movements of his time. The essays illuminate themes of double consciousness, the struggle for civil rights, and the transformative power of education, providing a profound exploration of the African American experience. Du Bois's arguments are not only rooted in personal conviction but also in a rich tapestry of academic rigor and historical insight. W.E.B. Du Bois was a pioneering sociologist, historian, and civil rights activist, whose experiences as a Black man in America profoundly shaped his worldview and writings. Born in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, he was the first African American to earn a Ph.D. from Harvard University. His involvement with the Niagara Movement and the NAACP underscored his dedication to fighting racial injustice, and his scholarly work laid the groundwork for future studies in sociology and race relations. This collection is essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of racial dynamics in America and the intellectual roots of contemporary discussions on race. Du Bois's insights remain relevant, urging readers to confront the historical injustices that persist today, making this anthology a vital resource for scholars, students, and activists alike.

Dancing the Edge To Reclaiming...

Lori Beth Bisbey

People frequently come to therapy believing they are broken.  They have been told this by countless people.  Over the past 33 years, I have worked with thousands of people and the majority of them don't have something wrong with them.  They are just missing skills.  This book is made up of education about the skills, examples and plans to learn the skills complete with exercises.  Why are these skills so important? When a person lacks skills, they are set up to experience difficult situations throughout their lives.  I have dedicated a chapter to gaslighting because this abusive behaviour robs people of some of the most essential skills, sets them up for emotional abuse, intimate partner violence, rape, sexual violence, physical abuse later in life.  These skills make it possible for us to integrate well with others, keep a solid sense of self, self-worth and have relationships that bring all parties joy.

John F Kennedy - His Life His...

Kelly Mass

JFK, or John Fitzgerald Kennedy, was an American political leader who functioned as the 35th President of the US from 1961 till his assassination to the conclusion of his 3rd year in office. Kennedy was president throughout the height of the Cold War, and the majority of his time in office was spent handling the Soviet Union and Cuba. Prior to his presidency, Kennedy acted as a Democrat in both homes of Congress, representing Massachusetts. 
Much controversy exists about the war in Vietnam and other aspects of the Cold War that John F. Kennedy dealt with. Many conspiracy theories exist about this assassination, and all of this has become a big part of the American history and culture in the 20th century. Personally, I think it would be wise to study this part of history a little, with its significant impact on worldwide events, coalitions, cease-fires, wars, and more.
