Sinossi

In "SOCRATES: The Man Behind the Myth," Xenophon offers a penetrating examination of the philosophical figure of Socrates, presenting a narrative that combines biographical detail with insightful philosophical discourse. Written in a straightforward, engaging style characteristic of Xenophon's works, this text confronts both the mythologized image of Socrates and the complexities of his thought. Xenophon, as a contemporary of Socrates, provides a compelling first-hand perspective on the Socratic method, ethics, and his interactions with Athenian society, making this work not only a biographical account but also a vital philosophical resource. Xenophon himself, an Athenian historian, soldier, and student of Socrates, draws upon his own experiences and observations to illuminate the character and teachings of the philosopher. Having lived through the turmoil of the Peloponnesian War, Xenophon's reflections are informed by a context of political instability and moral inquiry, allowing him to capture the essence of Socrates's pursuit of virtue and truth amidst chaos. His deep reverence for Socratic philosophy and his desire to set the record straight highlight the richness of their intellectual relationship. For those seeking a nuanced understanding of Socrates beyond the dramatized portrayals of later sources, Xenophon's work is an indispensable resource. This book invites readers to engage with Socratic thought through the lens of a student who not only admired him but also sought to preserve his legacy. Scholars and casual readers alike will find in this text a valuable exploration of moral philosophy that remains relevant today.

Bought & Sold - Scotland Jamaica...

Kate Phillips

This book traces the story of how and why thousands of Scots made money from buying and selling humans… a story we need to own. We need to admit that many Scots were enthusiastic participants in slavery.
Union with England gave Scotland access to both trade and settlement in Jamaica, Britain's richest colony and its major slave trading hub. Tens of thousands from Scotland lived and worked there. The abolition campaign and slave revolts threatened Scottish plantation owners, merchants, traders, bankers and insurance brokers who made their fortunes from slave-farmed sugar in Jamaica and fought hard to preserve the system of slavery. Archives and parliamentary papers in both countries reveal these transatlantic Scots in their own words and allow us to access the lives of their captives. 
Scotland and Jamaica were closely entwined for over one hundred years. Bought & Sold traces this shared story from its early beginnings in the 1700s to the abolition of slavery in the British Empire and reflects on the meaning of those years for both nations today.

North to Boston - Life Histories...

Blake Gumprecht

Between World War II and 1980, tens of thousands of Black people moved to Boston from the South as part of the Great Migration, one of the most consequential mass movements of people in American history. Black migration from the South transformed the city, as it did urban areas across the country. North to Boston is the first book to examine that important subject. 
 
 
 
Blake Gumprecht traces the history of this migration and explores its impacts in greater depth through the lives of ten individuals, each the subject of one chapter. Those chapters are short biographies based on extensive interviews by the author and are told in an engaging style that reflects the author's background as a journalist. 
 
 
 
The ten people featured came from six southern states. They fled racism, limited opportunity, and hopelessness, and moved north in pursuit of better jobs, equal treatment, and greater freedom. They settled in neighborhoods such as Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan. They worked as teachers, factory workers, welders, and security guards. Their stories are emblematic of the experiences of Black people everywhere who left the South, and provide a rare glimpse into the lives of ordinary people living in one city's Black community.
