Amakom F: THE ORIGINS OF RACISM

THE ORIGINS OF RACISM

From Ancient Prejudice to Modern Racism

A definitive collection of essays by one of the leading living theorists of social power, brought together here for the first time. In this consolidated summation of his works, Steven Lukes reflects on the central questions and changing nature of 'the power debate' as it has evolved since the publication of his seminal work Power: A Radical View. Including six essays on power as it relates to central themes of truth, domination and moral responsibility, and engaging with nine influential recent and contemporary theorists of power, Power and Domination and Other Essays provides a major critique of a debate that remains as alive and contentious as ever. Bringing up to date Lukes's work on power in one accessible volume, this book is an essential companion to Power: A Radical View, now in its third edition, and useful for all undergraduate and postgraduate students of the history of social and political thought, political science and political sociology.

The Book of Tea ¿A Japanese Harmony of Art, Culture, and the Simple Life (1906) by Okakura Kakuz¿ (1906) is a long essay linking the role of chad¿ (teaism) to the aesthetic and cultural aspects of Japanese life and protesting Western caricatures of "the East".

Addressed to a Western audience, it was originally written in English and is one of the great English tea classics. Okakura had been taught at a young age to speak English and was proficient at communicating his thoughts to the Western mind. In his book, he discusses such topics as Zen and Taoism, but also the secular aspects of tea and Japanese life. The book emphasizes how Teaism taught the Japanese many things, the most important of which were simplicity and humility:

It (Teaism) insulates purity and harmony, the mystery of mutual charity, the romanticism of the social order. It is essentially a worship of the Imperfect, as it is a tender attempt to accomplish something possible in this impossible thing we know as life.

This, Okakura believed, was an aesthetic that should inform everything from the arts and architecture to daily life and was already informing them in Japan.

The Book of Tea

"Scheiß drauf, was die Leute denken" - klingt nach Befreiung, fühlt sich aber oft eher wie ein Sprung ins kalte Wasser an. Susanna Bouchain weiß genau, wie es ist, zwischen Dorfklatsch, Social-Media-Shitstorms und den eigenen Unsicherheiten zu schwimmen. Mit scharfem Humor, feministischer Power und einer Extraportion Sexpositivität erzählt sie unverblümt von spicy Momenten, Tabubrüchen und dem Mut, man selbst zu sein.Statt Hochglanz-Ratschlägen gibt es bei Susanna rohe Anekdoten, ehrliche Reality-Checks und Trost für all die Momente, in denen Selbstliebe wie ein Fremdwort klingt. Zwischen Seelenstriptease und praktischen Tipps zeigt sie, wie man Scham und Bullshit über Bord wirft - und das eigene Leben, mit all seinen Facetten, mutig selbst in die Hand nimmt. Lust, Körper und Fehler inklusive.Für alle, die es satthaben, sich vom gesellschaftlichen Lärm, engen Rollenbildern und Sex-Scham bremsen zu lassen. Denn echte Selbstbestimmung ist kein Nice-to-have - sie ist das größte Geschenk, das man sich selbst machen kann.

Wie du Tabus brichst und dein Leben selbstbewusst und frei von Scham gestaltest | Mit den Einblicken von spicyladyy_ in die sexpositive Szene

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 TV and Movie industries created the Italian American stereotypes we know today. 
These stereotypes don't reflect the extraordinary impacts of Italian American individuals of all ages and economic backgrounds on the cultural and economic advancement of the United States to address this, the Italian American Reputation Lab (IARL) is presenting an analytic report on how the historical and current Italian diaspora depict a very different narrative than the mainstream media of how Italian-Americans have contributed to shaping the cultural and economic fabric of the United States.

Davide Ippolito is one of the foremost international experts on Reputation Literacy, Reputation Management, and Contents Creation. He's a publisher, a filmmaker, and a producer of both feature films and documentaries which are available on Amazon Prime and Pluto. Founder of the streaming media platform Business+, he serves as the Chief Scientific Officer for the USA-based Italian American Reputation Lab (IARL). For a decade Ippolito consulted with prominent Italian organizations and media/TV outlets operating in the diplomatic, academic, and industrial sectors. In recent years he has been engaged by international and US entities such as the National Italian American Foundation (NIAF), the Columbus Foundation, and the United Nations. Davide has authored several books on the Reputation Management topic and on September 12th, 2023, he released his new docu-film "New York Solo Andata" at the Italian Cultural Center of New York City. Davide regularly writes for several Italian magazines and newspapers, and he participates in various Italian national television news programs and talk shows.

Against Stereotypes - The Real Reputation of Italian American

Freemasonry, the world's oldest and largest fraternity, has been famously described as "a system of morality, in allegory and illustrated by symbols." One of the fraternity's hallmarks, however, is a relaxed attitude in regard to the interpretation of symbolism, since very few of its symbols are clearly explained in the rituals. Rather, the Fraternity encourages its members to investigate the symbols themselves. In this never-before-published work, Albert Pike turns his profound erudition and penetrating intellect to an investigation of the sources and meanings of the oldest and most frequently encountered Masonic symbols. Pike was arguably the most notable character in the history of Scottish Rite Freemasonry, as he revised its constitutions and rituals, and wrote scores of works that influenced the practices of virtually every Supreme Council worldwide. Pike, who believed that symbolism was the "soul of Masonry," was dissatisfied with the "diet of straw" fed to students of Masonic symbolism. is led him to investigate the esoteric sources he believed contributed their wisdom to the Fraternity in an attempt to rationally account for their introduction and significance. He prepared and printed, in limited editions, two studies on Masonic symbolism, but many questions were left unanswered. In addition, he prepared the present text under the title, Esoterika, but he considered it too esoteric to be printed. It thus remained in manuscript in the private archives of the Supreme Council where only a handful Masons have been allowed to see it. 

Now in its second edition, this book includes the summation of Pike's many private discourses and lectures which kept audiences spellbound for hours on end. It treats such topic as the "Square and Compasses," "Weapons and Blows of the Assassins," "The 47th Problem," and much more. The editor has added an introduction, additional illustrations, copious critical notes, and several appendices, which double the length of the original manuscript. Among the appendices are the complete texts of four early catechisms and exposés Pike mentioned throughout his study. Although these exposures differ greatly from Freemasonry as practiced today, they may help us understand how Pike arrived at his ideas.

The Souls of Black Folk: Essays and Sketches is a 1903 work of American literature by W. E. B. Du Bois. It is a seminal work in the history of sociology and a cornerstone of African-American literature.

The book contains several essays on race, some of which had been published earlier in The Atlantic Monthly. To develop this work, Du Bois drew from his own experiences as an African American in American society. Outside of its notable relevance in African-American history, The Souls of Black Folk also holds an important place in social science as one of the early works in the field of sociology.

In The Souls of Black Folk, Du Bois used the term "double consciousness", perhaps taken from Ralph Waldo Emerson ("The Transcendentalist" and "Fate"), applying it to the idea that black people must have two fields of vision at all times. They must be conscious of how they view themselves, as well as being conscious of how the world views them.
