Their narratives are divided into: (1) "The Country Where I Used To Live"; (2) "Family and Friends"; (3) "Life in a New Country"; (4) "School"; (5) "Aspects of Identity: Culture, Language, and Religion"; and (6) "The Future."

Atlantic Connections explores the transformative impact of the Atlantic Ocean on African societies between the 15th and 19th centuries. It argues that Africa's Atlantic coast played a crucial role in shaping global trade networks, challenging the notion of Africa as merely a passive recipient of global forces. The book highlights how African societies actively engaged with European traders, adapting and innovating in response to new economic opportunities. For example, some African societies strategically controlled trade routes and negotiated terms with European powers, demonstrating their agency. The book examines the development of Atlantic ports as hubs of commerce, the complex exchange of goods (including the devastating transatlantic slave trade), and the resulting cultural exchanges. It explores how these interactions influenced social structures, belief systems, and artistic expressions on both sides of the Atlantic. The study emphasizes that the Atlantic trade spurred unexpected cultural exchanges, with African artistic styles and religious beliefs influencing the Americas. This exploration is structured to provide a comprehensive understanding, starting with pre-existing trade networks, analyzing the growth of key ports, exploring commodity flows, and concluding with the cultural and social transformations that occurred. By utilizing diverse historical sources, including trade records and oral histories, Atlantic Connections provides a nuanced understanding of the economic and social impacts of the Atlantic trade. This book aims to move beyond simplistic narratives of victimhood or exploitation to offer a more complex and historically grounded perspective. Ultimately, the book sheds light on the historical roots of globalization and its enduring impact on Africa, offering valuable insights into contemporary global economic inequalities.

""Slave Trade"" explores the history of the transatlantic slave trade, a system that reshaped the world. It highlights the exploitation of African people while underscoring their agency and resistance, providing a nuanced view of this dark chapter in world history. The book examines the intricate networks that facilitated the trade, from pre-existing African systems to the rise of European colonialism and the plantation system. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how this forced migration transformed global power dynamics and economic systems, leaving a lasting impact on societies across continents. The book analyzes the slave trade's economic impact on Africa, the racial ideologies that justified slavery, and the various forms of resistance enacted by enslaved people and abolitionists. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of these elements to expose the roots of modern racial inequality and the need for social justice. The book's approach is structured, beginning with the historical context and motivations behind the trade, progressing through the experiences of enslaved Africans, and concluding with an analysis of slavery's legacy in the modern world.

Colonial Conflicts explores the history of conflicts arising from colonialism, examining how these struggles shaped global boundaries and the identities of nations. The book delves into the diverse forms of resistance employed by colonized populations, from armed rebellions to cultural preservation, and analyzes the long-lasting impact of these conflicts on post-colonial societies. Colonial conflicts were integral to the formation of modern nation-states and the evolution of global power structures, influencing everything from political instability to economic inequality. The book begins by outlining the major waves of colonialism and the motivations of colonizing powers. It then examines specific conflicts, such as the Algerian War of Independence, analyzing their causes, consequences, and impact on local populations. By exploring these historical events, Colonial Conflicts provides vital context for understanding contemporary geopolitical dynamics and the persistent legacies of colonialism, including issues of national identity and global power structures. Synthesizing findings from various case studies, the book draws broader conclusions about the nature of colonial conflicts and their enduring legacies. Using primary and secondary sources, including archival documents and personal accounts, it connects historical analysis to contemporary debates about globalization and international relations. This approach offers a comprehensive understanding of how colonial conflicts continue to shape our world.

Although group conflict is hardly new, the last decade has seen a proliferation of conflicts engaging intrastate ethnic groups. It is estimated that two-thirds of violent conflicts being fought each year in every part of the globe including North America are ethnic conflicts. Unlike traditional warfare, civilians comprise more than 80 percent of the casualties, and the economic and psychological impact on survivors is often so devastating that some experts believe that ethnic conflict is the most destabilizing force in the post-Cold War world. Although these conflicts also have political, economic, and other causes, the purpose of this volume is to develop a psychological understanding of ethnic warfare. More specifically, Handbook of Ethnopolitical Conflict explores the function of ethnic, religious, and national identities in intergroup conflict. In addition, it features recommendations for policy makers with the intention to reduce or ameliorate the occurrences and consequences of these conflicts worldwide.

This book offers a conceptual framework for the critical understanding of the present socio-environmental conflicts. It reflects on the evolution of subject and thought, a shift in environmental thinking triggered by the development of eco-territorial conflicts and the social responses given to the environmental question. Bringing together 40 years of the authors writing and research, the book explores the transition from ecological economics and historical materialism to ecological Marxism. It unpacks the forging of political ecology from value theory in political economy, to ecological distribution and ecologies of difference; a transition to an environmental rationality grounded in the ontology of diversity, a politics of difference and an ethics of otherness. This evolution in thinking gives consistency to a theoretical discourse able to respond to the territorial conflicts generated by the radicalization of the environmental question as a key social issue of our times. The book is a call to respond to the urgent challenge of reversing the tendency towards the entropic death of the planet and to building a sustainable world order.

2024 Rainbow Book List Adiba Jaigirdar, author of one of Time's Best YA books of all time, gives Titanic an Ocean’s 8 makeover in this nail-biting heist set onboard the infamous ship. Josefa is an unapologetic and charismatic thief who loves the thrill of the chase. She has her eye on her biggest mark yet—the RMS Titanic, the most luxurious ship in the world. But she isn’t interested in stealing from wealthy first-class passengers onboard. No, she’s out for the ultimate prize: the Rubiyat, a one-of-a-kind book encrusted with gems that’s worth millions. Josefa can’t score it alone, so she enlists a team of girls with unique talents: Hinnah, a daring acrobat and contortionist; Violet, an actress and expert dissembler; and Emilie, an artist who can replicate any drawing by hand. They couldn’t be more different and yet they have one very important thing in common: their lives depend on breaking into the vault and capturing the Rubiyat. But careless mistakes, old grudges, and new romance threaten to jeopardize everything they’ve worked for and put them in incredible danger when tragedy strikes. While the odds of pulling off the heist are slim, the odds of survival are even slimmer… Perfect for fans of Stalking Jack the Ripper and Girl in the Blue Coat, this high-seas heist from the author of The Henna Wars is an immersive story that makes readers forget one important detail—the ship sinks.
