Restoring Africa’s Spiritual Identity, authored by African Hidden Voices and inspired by the revelations of Inkosi Yomoya Imboni Dr. Uzwi-Lezwe Radebe, delivers a powerful critique of the spiritual displacement caused by colonialism and religious imposition. The book reveals how the forced introduction of foreign religions severed Africa’s access to the masculine energy—the upward spiritual dimensions—disconnecting the continent from its highest spiritual authority and divine guidance.

African Hidden Voices argues that African Indigenous Spirituality (AIS), once centered on direct knowledge through revelations, was systematically replaced by belief-based systems that undermined Africa’s spiritual sovereignty. This disconnection resulted in the erosion of indigenous institutions that once guided African societies. The book also seeks to illuminate the role played by African Initiated Churches (AICs) in asserting their attempts to merge Christianity with African practices. They failed to restore the continent’s true spiritual identity, as they remained bound by the very religious frameworks that displaced them. Politics through the rise of Pan Africanism also failed to restore Africa to its authentic spirituality as it was fused with religious dogmas.

Restoring Africa’s Spiritual Identity calls for a return to authentic spiritual institutions, guided by the revelations of genuine spiritual guiders, to reclaim Africa's spiritual sovereignty. It presents a scholarly and visionary blueprint for restoring the continent’s cosmic balance and reconnecting with its original spiritual essence.

First published in 1990. This text includes information of Cuba in 1986, split over four reporting quarters. The economic crisis, resulting from Fidel Castro's traditional subordination of economic matters to international and political objectives, is hounding the regime and is weakening the appeal of Cuba as a model for developing countries.

When the State of Israel claims to represent all Jewish people, defenders of Israeli policy redefine antisemitism to include criticism of Israel. Antisemitism is harmful and real in our society. What must also be addressed is how the deployment of false charges of antisemitism or redefining antisemitism can suppress the global progressive fight for justice. There is no one definitive voice on antisemitism and its impact. Jewish Voice for Peace has curated a collection of essays that provides a diversity of perspectives and standpoints.

John Rawls was arguably the most important political philosopher of the 20th century. Barely a word of political philosophy is written today that is not indebted in some way to the philosophical paradigm that Rawls bequeathed. "Rawls Explained" sets out the thinker's complex arguments in a way that makes them accessible to first-time readers of his hugely influential work. Both clear in its exposition of Rawls' ideas and true to the complex purposes of his arguments, this book also attends to the variety of objections that have been made to them. The book is divided into three parts corresponding to the three books that form the core of Rawls's theory: "A Theory of Justice, ""Political Liberalism, " and "The Law of Peoples." Each section of the book ends with a survey of some of the main criticisms of the arguments coupled with Rawls's strongest counterarguments.

Inside This Place, Not of It reveals some of the most egregious human rights violations within women's prisons in the United States.

Together, their testimonies illustrate the harrowing struggles for survival that women in prison must endure.

Half a dozen years after the deadliest earthquake in the history of the Western Hemisphere struck Haiti, the island nation remains in crisis, but the international community no longer seems interested. This immersive and engrossing book, based on five years of research and scores of interviews translated from Haitian Kreyol, gives voice to the continuing struggle of Haitian people to reconstruct their nation from the devastation of the earthquake, and from many decades of political and economic disaster. The earthquake killed more than 200,000, rendered more than a million and a half homeless, and wiped out what little infrastructure existed in the country. But prior to the quake, half the country was illiterate and two-thirds of Haitians lived in poverty. This book makes clear the long genesis of the ongoing crisis and illuminates the depths of the continuing problems, and does so through some of the most marginal and least-heard people in the world. An interview with a restavek--a child sent by poor parents to work as an unpaid servant in a wealthier household--is an example. A recent study determined a figure of 173,000 restaveks--about 8 percent of the population of children.

Led by former schoolteacher Robert Pollard, Ohio's Guided by Voices became indie-rock gods for their lo-fi aesthetic marked by structural brevity, bizarre lyrics, and a preference for early to mid-period Who. Recorded just prior to their breakup in 2004, this episode of PBS's AUSTIN CITY LIMITS captures the band in one of their final performances for a career-spanning selection of songs that includes "I am a Scientist" and "Glad Girls."

The first and only album by Voice of Authority is another of the On-U catalog's unsung gems, the abrasive union of Kishi Yamamoto, Nick Plytas, Mark Stewart, Charlie Eskimo Fox, Evar, and Ernest Wellington (among others) that marked Adrian Sherwood's continued drift away from the straightforward dub styling of his earlier work. Indeed, much of Very Big in America Right Now! echoes the remix projects that he was undertaking for the likes of Depeche Mode at the time -- and given that they were, indeed, very big in America right then, the comparison might well have been deliberate. Distortion, bizarre samples, and unexpected rhythmic convolutions are the order of the day, in an album that can rarely be played simply for straightforward enjoyment. Rather, it hangs out on that precipice where industrial music took its first gallant steps, and if the ghosts of melodies and hooks do percolate beneath the chaos (the keyboard riff that underpins "Knock the House Down" is almost catchy!), they are quickly chased away again. For all that, Very Big in America Right Now! is an exhilarating listen, and certainly points your ears toward subsequent developments on the On-U scene. The rest of the world would follow in due course. ~ Dave Thompson
