Amakom F: THE ORIGINS OF RACISM

THE ORIGINS OF RACISM

From Ancient Prejudice to Modern Racism

A vivid history of how Protestantism was spread across the globe, from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century &nbsp; "Mr. Ryrie has produced the rare book that deserves attention from both believers and skeptics."-D.G. Hart, Wall Street Journal &nbsp; Protestantism revolutionised early modern Europe. Radical theologians transformed the lives of thousands across the continent, irrevocably changing politics and society. But what about beyond Europe's borders? Was global Christianity just a Catholic endeavour? &nbsp; Alec Ryrie explores the untold history of how Protestants tried to spread their religion abroad, from Lapland to Chile and Barbados to Taiwan. At the story's heart are the non-Christian people whom Protestants met more often than any others during this period: those they had enslaved in the Americas, Africa, and eastern Asia. We see how Protestants dealt with, or evaded, the moral failure of the slave trade, and how their missionary efforts were disappointments at best, utter fiascos at worst. &nbsp; Their world Reformation, its failures, and its consequences for both good and ill, has largely been forgotten. This fascinating history makes the case for why it is worth remembering.

How Protestantism Became a Global Religion

The World's Reformation

In Shock and Yawn, Megan Sibbett confronts state-sanctioned, mundane violence committed in the name of protection and argues that queer storytelling is an ideal avenue for recognizing, theorizing, and subverting it: Through queer stories, we have a direct window into the real-world ramifications of violence that purports to be for the public good. This violence, reinforced and normalized through surveillance campaigns, failure-to-protect laws, border policies, and government messaging, is obscured by both its banality and its benevolent veneer, in which children, or imagined children, are central to its logic of protection.
 
 Building on queer theorists' critiques of intimate and administrative violence, especially Gloria Anzaldúa's "intimate terrorism," Sibbett develops methodologies for conceptualizing and subverting violence aimed at queer, racialized, and gendered bodies in this era of surveillance and increasing authoritarianism. Sibbett addresses book bans, anti-trans legislation, idealized histories of westward expansion, and more, examining materials that include public service announcements, advertising, social media, news reports, poems, interviews, and novels. In so doing, she demonstrates the crucial role queer testimonies-and queer histories and queer futures-play in revealing systemic violence and illuminating the transformative potential of everyday resistance.

Die geilste Lücke im Lebenslauf

In The Permanent Problem, Brink Lindsey reshapes our understanding of the vital but complex relationship between material prosperity and human flourishing. The advanced capitalist democracies of the 21st century are the richest, freest, healthiest, best educated, and best governed societies in history. Why then does it seem like everything is falling apart? Economic stagnation is spreading, class divisions are deepening, birth rates are collapsing, mental health problems are on the rise, faith in democracy is in decline, and pessimism about the future abounds. In The Permanent Problem, Brink Lindsey argues that these gathering difficulties reflect the stresses and strains of a great and uncompleted historical transition-from mass material prosperity to mass human flourishing. Capitalism's immense productive powers have raised our expectations of what life can be, but for most of us reality is coming up short. What's more, the arrival of mass prosperity has pushed both economic and cultural change in directions that make the transition to mass flourishing much harder to achieve. According to Lindsey, 21st century capitalism is in the grip of three interrelated crises: a crisis of inclusion, as vital social ties and personal connections are breaking down; a crisis of dynamism, as capitalism's engines of innovation and wealth creation have begun to sputter and seize; and a crisis of politics, as the mechanisms for collective decision-making needed to address capitalism's growing problems have been degraded by the very same dynamics that underlie those problems. A much brighter future is possible, and Lindsey charts an intriguing path to get there. There is no need to concoct a radical new social system. Instead, capitalism needs to be refocused on its core mission of extending the technological frontier, and rebalanced through the revitalization of face-to-face communities. Weaving together insights from history, economics, sociology, and philosophy, The Permanent Problem offers a synoptic overview of our fateful present moment and a provocative glimpse at what may lie ahead.

The Police Mandate

"Lost Worlds convinces us of the value of slowing down to recognize the tremendous diversity of the human past. But he presses hard against the conclusion that there was any direction or pattern behind its complexity." —The Wall Street Journal“A spellbinding tour de force!” —Walter Scheidel, author of What Is Ancient History?“This is non-fiction storytelling at its finest.” —Eric H. Cline, author of 1177 B.C.The creator of the hit podcast Tides of History offers a new look at humanity’s deep past, showing us how our world was built not by inevitability, but by trial and error on a global scale.There’s a familiar story about us humans: we went from hunting and gathering to farming, wandering bands to villages and cities, clans and chieftains to states and kings. But Lost Worlds offers a new narrative of humanity’s deep history. Here beloved podcast host Patrick Wyman focuses on the 10,000-year span between the end of the Ice Age and the decline of the Bronze Age—the period when civilization as we understand it emerged, introducing social hierarchies, urbanism, complex political organizations, and the written word.In this nuanced retelling, human progress is no longer a straight march from caves to cities: Farming didn’t always replace foraging, villages didn’t automatically spark agriculture, and cities didn’t necessitate rigid hierarchies. For thousands of years, humans merely improvised. By the end of the Bronze Age, the world had become unrecognizable: mammoths and giant sloths replaced by cattle and sheep, scattered nomadic bands replaced by millions living in cities, and farming on nearly every continent. Wyman argues that the rise of states and steady food production wasn’t inevitable, but rather, the outcome of countless choices that reshaped the planet and made us who we are today.Combining cutting-edge science with gripping storytelling, Lost Worlds explores: <ul><li>A Sweeping New History of the Ancient World: Discover how early societies rose, adapted, and collapsed across thousands of years of human history.</li><li>The Archaeology Revolution: Ancient DNA, climate science, and new excavation methods are revealing how prehistoric people lived, migrated, and fought.</li><li>From Ice Age Hunters to Early Civilizations: Follow the dramatic transformation that led from nomadic foragers to farming, cities, and powerful states.</li><li>Why Societies Rise—and Fall: Learn how climate change, migration, population growth, and conflict shaped the fate of early civilizations.</li></ul>

Global Diasporas

The African diaspora is widely recognized as one of the world's major diasporas. Until now, most existing studies have focused almost exclusively on the Atlantic world, but this inclusive volume considers other key dimensions of the phenomenon.

A Global Perspective

African Diasporas

Kamal Shair's book is a classic rags to riches story: the village boy, who with determination and education, achieves business success, wealth, more wealth, and then influence and power. What makes it unusual is that it emanates from the Arab world. Rarely among Arabs have individuals from thoroughly modest backgrounds, with no access to links, networks or connections become truly global commercial players. Shair was born in a small town in what was then Transjordan and dragged himself through school (his mother was illiterate), moved to college in Beirut, then sailed off to America (Michigan and Yale) and returned to the Middle East to create a multinational corporate empire engaged in trade, construction and manufacturing. Dar al Handasah - Arabic for House of Engineers - was founded in a small flat in Beirut and today, spans the globe with offices in 37 countries. In its early years, Dar al Handasah fought off competition from established western consultancies to win contracts for prestige engineering throughout the Middle East. Eventually, its activities extended further to Europe, the United States, Africa and Asia. By not following the usual pattern of patronage and favours, Kamal Shair applied a fresh kind of ethic in an environment with a loosely-structured business ethic. In the process, he lived through and witnessed at first hand and at close quarters some of the most dramatic events of the modern Arab world. This is quite an extraordinary tale and a very original prism through which to read the turbulent post-World War II history of the Middle East. At the same time we see the growth, despite all the odds, of one of the world's great engineering and business enterprises in a narrative of epic and inspirational proportions.

The Emergence of an Arab Global Business

Out of the Middle East

Capitalism has shaped the world in ways both visible and hidden. It structures how we live, how we work, and how we assign value to people and resources. In The Ends of the Earth, Franco Paz explores the rise of global capitalism through a history of labour, slavery, and environmental extraction, showing how the modern world was built on the coerced work of millions across continents. From the iron mines of Russia to the sugar plantations of the Caribbean, from Iberian salt works to New England fisheries, the labour of workers in one region made possible the exploitation of others. Raw materials, commodities, and human effort moved through vast planetary networks, connecting lives, economies, and environments in ways that reshaped the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and continue to shape our world today. Decentring traditional Eurocentric narratives, Paz reveals the human and ecological costs behind the wealth and power we take for granted. With vivid storytelling and meticulous research, The Ends of the Earth challenges readers to confront the enduring legacies of inequality, extraction, and exploitation that underpin contemporary capitalism.

The Ends of the Earth

In diesem Buch kommen 17 Ostdeutsche aller Generationen aus verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen zu Wort, von der Influencerin bis zum ehemaligen Bundespräsidenten, vom Popmusiker bis zur Filmregisseurin. Sie erzählen ihre Sicht auf das Erreichte und Unerreichte in dieser Region, die sie meist ihre Herkunft und oft ihre Heimat nennen oder mit der sie sich zumindest teilweise identifizieren. Denn alle eint, dass Ostdeutschland eine Rolle in ihrer Biografie spielt, sei es durch die frühe Prägung in der DDR geborener oder eine späte Zuwendung zur eigenen Ost-Identität im Zuge aktueller gesellschaftlicher Debatten. Es sind persönliche Einsichten und pointierte Draufsichten, private Erlebnisse und berufliche Erforschungen, die in ihrer Vielfalt dieses Buch so wertvoll machen, vor allem durch die Perspektiven verschiedener Generationen. Gerade in der Debatte um Gegenwart und Zukunft der Region und die Frage nach einer ostdeutschen Identität leistet die Veröffentlichung einen wichtigen Beitrag.
