Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pivot of Civilization "I dream of a world in which the spirits of women are flames stronger than fire, a world in which modesty has become courage and yet remains modesty, a world in which women are as unlike men as ever they were in the world I sought to destroy, a world in which women shine with a loveliness of self-revelation as enchanting as ever the old legends told, and yet a world which would immeasurably transcend the old world in the self-sacrificing passion of human service. I have dreamed of that world ever since I began to dream at all." - Havelock Ellis About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Pivot of Civilization and a Plan for Peace written by Margaret Sanger and published by . This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pivot of Civilization was published in 1922. It contains Margaret Sanger's belief that civilization rises or falls on how it views the 'people problem.' It wasn't simply the fact that there were too many people. The kind of people roaming the planet were also a problem. What kind of people? Sanger says it explicitly: feeble-minded, defective, moronic, epileptic people. What should be done with them? They should be put into camps. They should be sterilized. They should be segregated. Does this sound familiar?It is but one small step to add: "They should be exterminated."10 years later, Sanger introduced her 'Plan for Peace' (included in this book) which made similar calls. So it was that some of the most devilish ideas carried out by the Nazis not more than a decade later were just as popular in America. Indeed, it appears the Nazis may have gotten their ideas from American eugenicists!Sanger's book will give you a new perspective on the intellectual climate in the early 1900s and a new understanding of contemporary events and issues.

Download or read book Pivot Cities in the Rise and Fall of Civilizations written by Ahmet Davutoğlu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the author’s long experience in academic life and the public realm, especially in foreign policy, this book argues that a single categoric classification of cities is inadequate, and that cities have had different and varied impacts and positions throughout the history of civilization. The author examines how the formation, transformation, destruction or reestablishment of many civilizational cities reveals a clearer picture of the cornerstones of the course of human history. These cities, which play a decisive and pivotal role in the direction of the flow of history as well as providing us with a compass to guide our efforts to understand and interpret this flow, are conceptualized by the author as civilizations’ "pivot cities". This innovative book explores the role of great cities in political historical change, presenting an alternative view of these pivot cities from a culturalist perspective. Within this framework, the role played by pivot cities in the history of civilization may be considered under seven distinct headings: pioneering cities which founded civilizations; cities which were founded by civilizations; cities which were transplanted during the formation of civilizations; "ghost cities" which lost their importance through shifts in political power and civilizational transformation; "lost cities" which were destroyed by civilizations; cities on lines of geocultural/geoeconomic interaction; and cities which combine, transform or are transformed by different civilizations. The author’s concept of pivot cities explores the interplay between vital cities and civilizations, which bears on the future of globalization at a time of instability, as projected continuing de-Westernization becomes a theme in studies of global history. This book provides highly productive discussions relevant to the literature on city-civilization relationships and the historicity of pivot cities. Its clear language, rich content, deep and original perspective, interdisciplinary approach and rich bibliography will ensure that it appeals to students and scholars in a variety of disciplines, including cultural studies, political science, comparative urban studies, anthropology, history and civilizational studies.

Download or read book A History of the Birth Control Movement in America written by Peter C. Engelman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-04-19 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This narrative history of one of the most far-reaching social movements in the 20th century shows how it defied the law and made the use of contraception an acceptable social practice—and a necessary component of modern healthcare. A History of the Birth Control Movement in America tells the extraordinary story of a group of reformers dedicated to making contraception legal, accessible, and acceptable. The engrossing tale details how Margaret Sanger's campaign beginning in 1914 to challenge anti-obscenity laws criminalizing the distribution of contraceptive information grew into one of the most far-reaching social reform movements in American history. The book opens with a discussion of the history of birth control methods and the criminalization of contraception and abortion in the 19th century. Its core, however, is an exciting narrative of the campaign in the 20th century, vividly recalling the arrests and indictments, banned publications, imprisonments, confiscations, clinic raids, mass meetings, and courtroom dramas that publicized the cause across the nation. Attention is paid to the movement's thorny alliances with medicine and eugenics and especially to its success in precipitating a profound shift in sexual attitudes that turned the use of contraception into an acceptable social and medical practice. Finally, the birth control movement is linked to court-won privacy protections and the present-day movement for reproductive rights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book joins the contemporary recovery of Kant’s empirical works to highlight the relevance of his concept of culture for understanding the sources of various characteristic modern dilemmas, such as the tension between culture and happiness, the morally ambivalent nature of cultural progress, or the existing conflicts between a factual plurality of cultures and the historical forces pressing toward a universal civilization. The book will be of special interest for Kantian scholars, moral and political philosophers, as well as philosophers of culture.
Download or read book An Image of God written by Sharon M. Leon and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-06-05 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the first half of the twentieth century, supporters of the eugenics movement offered an image of a racially transformed America by curtailing the reproduction of “unfit” members of society. Through institutionalization, compulsory sterilization, the restriction of immigration and marriages, and other methods, eugenicists promised to improve the population—a policy agenda that was embraced by many leading intellectuals and public figures. But Catholic activists and thinkers across the United States opposed many of these measures, asserting that “every man, even a lunatic, is an image of God, not a mere animal." In An Image of God, Sharon Leon examines the efforts of American Catholics to thwart eugenic policies, illuminating the ways in which Catholic thought transformed the public conversation about individual rights, the role of the state, and the intersections of race, community, and family. Through an examination of the broader questions raised in this debate, Leon casts new light on major issues that remain central in American political life today: the institution of marriage, the role of government, and the separation of church and state. This is essential reading in the history of religion, science, politics, and human rights.
Download or read book International Intercourse written by Julie L. Thomas and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American birth control advocate Margaret Sanger (1884-1966) was instrumental in the development of an international birth control movement. This occurred, not after World War II as is commonly thought, but in the interwar era. Building upon existing medical exchanges of information and materials in the global arena, she established a social movement for birth control. While Sanger was not the only interwar era figure involved in the endeavor, she was among the most active in pursuing an international agenda. A number of discursive themes emerge in the study of Sanger's interwar activities for the global provision of contraception: it would provide economic benefit to (individual) families and (collective) nations; family limitation would help avert the next war; and gendered ideas about contraceptive methods and its role in improving women's status. These themes are explored through an interrogation of Sanger's interactions with cohorts (travel and correspondence) in seven key nations in Europe, Asia and Southeast Asia, her role as founder and editor of the Birth Control Review, and lastly, as the organizer of three international birth control conferences (1925, 1927, 1930). The preoccupations established in these venues laid the foundation for the post-World War II international family planning movement. This dissertation project also challenges a prevailing assumption about the provision of birth control in the Soviet Union in the interwar ear - that abortion was the only method available. An analysis of Soviet medical literature of the period reveals the existence of clinical and laboratory research on a range of contraceptive methods, and research on experimental methods. Curiously, medical advocates for birth control, and not Sanger, were the most active in efforts to exchange information with Soviet researchers. The explanation for this apparent anomaly underscores Sanger's goals and objectives as a social advocate for birth control in the global arena.
