Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book of 2014 We are doomed to repeat history if we fail to learn from it, but how are we affected by the forces that are invisible to us? What role does Neanderthal DNA play in our genetic makeup? How did the theory of eugenics embraced by Nazi Germany first develop? How is trust passed down in Africa, and silence inherited in Tasmania? How are private companies like Ancestry.com uncovering, preserving and potentially editing the past? In The Invisible History of the Human Race, Christine Kenneally reveals that, remarkably, it is not only our biological history that is coded in our DNA, but also our social history. She breaks down myths of determinism and draws on cutting - edge research to explore how both historical artefacts and our DNA tell us where we have come from and where we may be going.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Woman's True Destiny: Responsibilities and Rights, as the Mother of the Human Race I do not think, gentlemen, I can offer you a greater mark of my high respect, for your noble and philanthropic characters, how far I consider you above the narrow selfish prejudices which govern society. I want to attract your attention on a subject, the most important, in the present times; for as Condorcet says, on the last page of his "Sketch of an historical picture of the progress of the human mind," "The next step in progress, is to restore woman to her rights and dignity." Open the eyes of woman. Let her know herself and her true destinies. Then she will cease to be a slave. Then man will be as anxious to cleanse his hands from the past, as woman to resume her natural position as the mother of mankind. Then man will cease to fear having something to lose (his dear domineering) in industrial and domestic association. Woman will easily perceive that it is the means for her to step into heir natural sphere, in both her sexual and maternal connections with man, which are perfectly subverted in the present state of society. But as long as woman thinks herself a pretty little thing, intended for the sexual gratification of man, whose entire duties and resources in this world are only to please him any how; she will be busy at making herself a pretty plaything, and nothing else. Then she will be made to believe any thing - that white is black and black is white! i.e. "That you promulgate abominable principles, conducive to the overthrow, of the divine bonds of morals in society," and many more big words, which will frighten her so much the more, as she will not understand their true bearing. She will oppose you with all her might. The men will say that their women are most against it, and will laugh in their sleeves. For as long as the spirit of domineering, which has been nursed for thousands of years in man, and caused so much evil under all sorts of shapes and forms to the human family, I say as long as it can grasp it will hold on. How very few American Republicans do not cherish in their hearts, that saying of a Branch wood cutter, "Dans ma cabane je suis Roi!" As long as coersive duties are substituted for sympathetic attractions, never expect harmony, never expect happiness in this incessantly clashing society; it would be better to live isolatedly hidden in forests or in some holes in rocks. Do not believe, gentlemen, that it is a propensity to what is commonly termed licentiousness, which makes me feel indignant at the bonds in which woman is craftily entramelled and degraded!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the 2021 Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction Shortlisted for the 2021 Costa Biography Award The Sunday Times Best Book of the Year in Biography and Memoir A Financial Times Best Book of 2021 (Critics' Picks) The New Yorker, Best Books We Read in 2021 Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year 2021 A Guardian Best Book of the Year A reflection on "freedom" in a dramatic, beautifully written memoir of the end of Communism in the Balkans. For precocious 11-year-old Lea Ypi, Albania’s Soviet-style socialism held the promise of a preordained future, a guarantee of security among enthusiastic comrades. That is, until she found herself clinging to a stone statue of Joseph Stalin, newly beheaded by student protests. Communism had failed to deliver the promised utopia. One’s “biography”—class status and other associations long in the past—put strict boundaries around one’s individual future. When Lea’s parents spoke of relatives going to “university” or “graduating,” they were speaking of grave secrets Lea struggled to unveil. And when the early ’90s saw Albania and other Balkan countries exuberantly begin a transition to the “free market,” Western ideals of freedom delivered chaos: a dystopia of pyramid schemes, organized crime, and sex trafficking. With her elegant, intellectual, French-speaking grandmother; her radical-chic father; and her staunchly anti-socialist, Thatcherite mother to guide her through these disorienting times, Lea had a political education of the most colorful sort—here recounted with outstanding literary talent. Now one of the world’s most dynamic young political thinkers and a prominent leftist voice in the United Kingdom, Lea offers a fresh and invigorating perspective on the relation between the personal and the political, between values and identity, posing urgent questions about the cost of freedom.
Download or read book Women Race Class written by Angela Y. Davis and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-06-29 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of our most important scholars and civil rights activist icon, a powerful study of the women’s liberation movement and the tangled knot of oppression facing Black women. “Angela Davis is herself a woman of undeniable courage. She should be heard.”—The New York Times Angela Davis provides a powerful history of the social and political influence of whiteness and elitism in feminism, from abolitionist days to the present, and demonstrates how the racist and classist biases of its leaders inevitably hampered any collective ambitions. While Black women were aided by some activists like Sarah and Angelina Grimke and the suffrage cause found unwavering support in Frederick Douglass, many women played on the fears of white supremacists for political gain rather than take an intersectional approach to liberation. Here, Davis not only contextualizes the legacy and pitfalls of civil and women’s rights activists, but also discusses Communist women, the murder of Emmitt Till, and Margaret Sanger’s racism. Davis shows readers how the inequalities between Black and white women influence the contemporary issues of rape, reproductive freedom, housework and child care in this bold and indispensable work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Human Woman The spirit in which the following pages are offered to the public is not one in which any claims are made for women, as against men neither equality nor superi ority, nor any quality the insistence upon which tends to provoke the desire to con trovert or to condemn, is made the basis of what is hoped will be regarded as a sane and temperate exposition of the views of many women and perhaps more men. The arguments in favour of extending the franchise in any given direction being perfectly familiar to all who have con sidered the political aspect of public affairs, it has not been thought necessary to dwell upon them in connection with the present demand of duly qualified women to partici pate in the election of the representatives of the people.
