William Ubagan

Beschreibung

Shadows of Power: Corruption and Control in the Marcos Era is an incisive exploration of one of the most turbulent periods in Philippine history. Author William Ubagan delves into the mechanisms of control and the depths of corruption that characterized the Marcos regime, unraveling how power was wielded to suppress opposition, manipulate public perception, and entrench an authoritarian rule.
 
Through extensive research and first-hand accounts, this book examines the political strategies, economic maneuvers, and social impacts of the era, offering readers a clear picture of how an entire nation was shaped by a single family's hold on power. Shadows of Power not only tells the story of a dark chapter in the Philippines but also serves as a warning about the vulnerabilities of any democracy.
 
A compelling read for history enthusiasts, political analysts, and anyone interested in the universal struggle for freedom and justice, Shadows of Power is a sobering reminder of the resilience required to protect human rights and maintain democratic principles.

Tiny Gardens Everywhere - The...

Kate Brown

From the eighteenth century to the twenty–first, the surprising history and inspiring contemporary panorama of urban gardening: nurturing health, hope, and community. 
This manifesto for the next food revolution by acclaimed environmental historian Kate Brown speaks to nature lovers, food activists, social–justice warriors, urban planners, WOOFers, and the climate–concerned. 
Ever since wage labor in cities replaced self–provisioning in the countryside, gardeners have reclaimed lost commons on urban lots. They composted garbage into topsoil, creating the most productive agriculture in recorded human history, without use of fossil fuels. The ecological diversity they fostered made room for human difference and built prosperity, too: in Nazi Berlin, working–class gardeners harbored dissidents and Jews; in Washington, DC, Black southern migrants built communities around gardens and orchards, the produce funding homeownership. 
Grafting contemporary experience and concerns onto every historical chapter, Brown creates a mesmerizing hybrid past and present, archive and experience, showing how down–to–earth gardeners can reap abundant harvests while fostering mutual aid and political engagement.
