The New Freedom

The Old Order Changeth: Freemen Need No Guardians

'An original and outstanding new history of the New World... Magisterial' Spectator 'An extraordinarily ambitious book . . . America, América reads at times as the historical equivalent of the great epic novels of Gabriel García Márquez' Irish Times THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, SHORTLISTED FOR THE CUNDILL HISTORY PRIZE The first definitive history of the Western hemisphere, a sweeping five-century narrative of North and South America that redefines our understanding of both continents - perfect for readers of How the World Made the West. The story of the United States' unique sense of itself was forged facing south - no less than Latin America's was indelibly stamped by the looming colossus to the north. In this stunningly original reinterpretation of the New World, Professor Greg Grandin reveals how the Americas emerged from constant, turbulent engagement with each other, shedding new light on well-known historical figures like Bartolomé de las Casas, Simón Bolívar and Woodrow Wilson, as well as lesser-known actors such as the Venezuelan Francisco de Miranda, who almost lost his head in the French Revolution and conspired with Alexander Hamilton to free America from Spain. America, América traverses half a millennium, from the Spanish Conquest - the greatest mortality event in human history - through the eighteenth-century wars for independence and the Monroe Doctrine, to the coups and revolutions of the twentieth century. This monumental work of scholarship fundamentally changes our understanding of Spanish and English colonialism, slavery and racism, the rise of universal humanism, and the role of social democracy in staving off authoritarian impulses. At once comprehensive and accessible, America, América shows how the United States and Latin America together shaped the laws, institutions, and ideals that govern the modern world. Drawing on a vast array of sources, and told with authority and flair, this is a genuinely new history of the New World. 'Compelling and written with zest...Don't be surprised if he wins another Pulitzer' Financial Times 'Dazzling. Mind-altering. World-changing. A once-in-a-generation contribution' NAOMI KLEIN 'Sweeping and provocative... groundbreaking' AMITAV GHOSH 'Will transform your understanding of the modern world' JONATHAN KENNEDY 'Masterful and erudite yet absolutely riveting' ADA FERRER 'A major and desperately needed synthesis of the Americas' NED BLACKHAWK 'An awe-inspiring masterpiece' SAMUEL MOYN * Professor Greg Grandin won the Pulitzer Prize for Non-fiction in 2020 with his book The End of the Myth. America, América has been shortlisted for the Cundill History Prize and is a finalist for the Kirkus Prize.

A New History of the New World

America, América

How people have reimagined the story of the ten plagues of Egypt, from antiquity to our own era of relentless catastrophe People have been telling and retelling stories about disasters for as long as they have been telling stories. One of the oldest of such stories is the ten plagues in the book of Exodus, the series of disasters that forced the Egyptians to liberate the Israelites. These plagues packed enough catastrophe to fill a series of summer blockbusters—rivers of blood, invasions of frogs and insects, mass disease, fiery hail, smothering darkness, and a midnight massacre of the firstborn. The story of the ten plagues resonates today, as we try to make sense of such calamities of modern life as pandemics, climate change, and war. In Disasters of Biblical Proportions, Steven Weitzman explores how people of later ages—artists, writers, activists, philosophers, believers and unbelievers alike—have reshaped the story of the ten plagues to give expression to their own trauma, outrage, guilt, humor, and hope. Tracing the interpretation and retelling of each plague across time and space, Weitzman uncovers how this ancient tale found new meaning among Jews, Christians, and Muslims and continues to shape how people today understand the present and envision the future. Even as it recounts the history of how the ten plagues have been reimagined, Disasters of Biblical Proportions is also a history of people’s search for shelter from the calamities of their own times—and of humanity’s striving for justice, freedom, and redemption.

The Ten Plagues Then, Now, and at the End of the World

Disasters of Biblical Proportions

In 2021, Anthony Seldon, inspired by a fallen First World War soldier who dreamed of a "Via Sacra" to commemorate the war dead and stand as a symbol of the triumph of peace, set out on a 600-mile walk tracing the historic route of the Western Front. He later recounted that journey in the widely acclaimed The Path of Peace.But lasting peace was not to be. Just two decades after the First World War, Europe descended into an even more devastating conflict.In The Path of Light, Seldon embarks on a new 800-mile journey, beginning once again at Kilometre Zero and ending at Auschwitz. Along the way, he uncovers the stories of women and men who courageously protected the vulnerable and stood up to evil in the face of unimaginable brutality during the Second World War.As he reflects on these "figures of light" and the inspiring stories he encounters in the towns and villages along his route, a pattern begins to emerge--one that offers lessons for building a more peaceful and compassionate world.Their example feels more relevant than ever, as the ominous and growing drumbeat of global belligerence forms the backdrop to Seldon's journey between 2023 and 2025. The Path of Light is both a remarkable travel narrative and a powerful meditation on courage, humanity, and hope in troubled times.

The Unabridged Trilogy Part Two

Buried Truth

The first full biography of Granville Sharp, the founding figure of abolitionism in BritainIn London, 1765, Jonathan Strong was bludgeoned half to death by his enslaver. As the injured Strong staggered towards a doctor on Mincing Lane, he was noticed by the civil servant Granville Sharp (1735-1813)-a chance meeting which would set in motion a lifelong fight for justice.Appalled by the violence of slavery-a system with at the time some 900,000 victims in North America alone-Sharp took up the abolitionist cause with a zealous sense of moral duty. He taught himself law to challenge slavery in the Somerset case, wrote Britain's first antislavery tract, publicised the horrors of the Zong massacre, and was integral to the establishment of the free colony of Sierra Leone.Michael Bundock recounts Sharp's astonishing and largely forgotten life, which saw collaboration with Black activists Olaudah Equiano and Ottobah Cugoano and even brought Sharp to the attention of America's founding fathers. This is the extraordinary story of how the fight for abolition began, and the single-minded campaigner at its heart.

A Visual History

The American Revolution

Pulitzer Prize–winning former Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson tells our nation’s torturous racial history through his own family’s story, starting with his great-grandfather’s freedom from slavery and threading his way to his own narrative and reaching today’s Black Lives Matter movement, asking whether this time will be different. On March 27, 1829, a wealthy white planter and entrepreneur named Richard Fordham purchased four enslaved African Americans from a woman named Isabella Perman. One of them was journalist Eugene Robinson’s great-great-grandfather, a boy called Harry. Starting from this transaction, which took place in Charleston, South Carolina, Freedom Lost, Freedom Won brings to life two hundred years of our nation’s history through the eyes of the remarkable family that Harry founded. Assigned a formal name—Henry Fordham—and put to work as a blacksmith, he achieved his own freedom a decade before the Civil War. He was there when victorious Union troops marched into Charleston in 1865, ending slavery and guaranteeing liberty for Black people—only on paper, though, and only for a time. Robinson traces the arc of his familial lineage through the repeated cycles in which African Americans have fought their way upward toward freedom and opportunity, been forced back down again, and renewed their determined climb. From his great-great-grandfather’s achievement in becoming a “free person of color” before emancipation to his great-grandfather’s Reconstruction-era success, from his father’s odyssey of the Great Migration to his own coming-of-age during the civil rights movement, Robinson delves into a rich archive of Black narratives, arguing that we still have a long way to go before it is possible to speak of a “post-racial America.” Setting his extensive research within the larger historical context, Robinson provides both an indictment of structural racism and an illustration of how it has been fought and, at times, courageously overcome. Freedom Lost, Freedom Won tells our country’s tortuous racial history through Robinson’s family’s story of struggle and survival, pushing us to consider how far the nation has come—willingly or not—and how far it still has to go.
