&#8220A landmark . . . brilliantly [demonstrates] has that there is far more to black history than the slave trade.&#8221&#8212John A. WilliamsThey Came Before Columbusreveals a compelling, dramatic, and superbly detailed documentation of the presence and legacy of Africans in ancient America. Examining navigation and shipbuilding cultural analogies between Native Americans and Africans the transportation of plants, animals, and textiles between the continents and the diaries, journals, and oral accounts of the explorers themselves, Ivan Van Sertima builds a pyramid of evidence to support his claim of an African presence in the New World centuries before Columbus.Combining impressive scholarship with a novelist&#8217s gift for storytelling, Van Sertima re-creates some of the most powerful scenes of human history: the launching of the great ships of Mali in 1310 (two hundred master boats and two hundred supply boats), the sea expedition of the Mandingo king in 1311, and many others.

&#8220A landmark book&#8230[a] bold reframing of the history of the British Empire.&#8221&#8213Caroline Elkins, Foreign AffairsAn award-winning historian places the corporation&#8213more than the Crown&#8213at the heart of British colonialism, arguing that companies built and governed global empire, raising questions about public and private power that were just as troubling four hundred years ago as they are today.Across four centuries, from Ireland to India, the Americas to Africa and Australia, British colonialism was above all the business of corporations. Corporations conceived, promoted, financed, and governed overseas expansion, making claims over territory and peoples while ensuring that British and colonial society were invested, quite literally, in their ventures. Colonial companies were also relentlessly controversial, frequently in debt, and prone to failure. The corporation was well-suited to overseas expansion not because it was an inevitable juggernaut but because,

&#8220A landmark study.&quot&#8212Robin Wright, The New YorkerWhy every terrorist movement comes to an end&#8212and how this history can help us combat today's terrorist threatsAmid the fear following 9/11 and more recent terror attacks, it is easy to forget the most important fact about terrorist campaigns: they always come to an end&#8212and often far more quickly than expected. Contrary to what many assume, when it comes to dealing with terrorism it may be more important to understand how it ends than how it begins. Only by understanding the common ways in which terrorist movements have died out or been eradicated in the past can we hope to figure out how to speed the decline of today's terrorist groups, while avoiding unnecessary fears and costly overreactions. In How Terrorism Ends, Audrey Kurth Cronin examines how terrorist campaigns have met their demise over the past two centuries, and applies these enduring lessons to outline a new strategy against al-Qaeda.This book answers

&#8220A lesson in how to practice recognizing the fundamental truth that every inch of the Americas is Indigenous territory&#8221 &#8212Robert Warrior, from the Foreword Many people learn about Indigenous politics only through the most controversial and confrontational news: the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe&#8217s efforts to block the Dakota Access Pipeline, for instance, or the battle to protect Bears Ears National Monument in Utah, a site sacred to Native peoples. But most Indigenous activism remains unseen in the mainstream&#8212and so, of course, does its significance. J. K&#275haulani Kauanui set out to change that with her radio program Indigenous Politics. Issue by issue, she interviewed people who talked candidly and in an engaging way about how settler colonialism depends on erasing Native peoples and about how Native peoples can and do resist. Collected here, these conversations speak with clear and compelling voices about a range of Indigenous politics that shape everyday

&#8220A love of Cioran creates an urge to press his writing into someone&#8217s hand, and is followed by an equal urge to pull it away as poison.&#8221&#8212The New YorkerIn this volume, which reaffirms the uncompromising brilliance of his mind, Cioran strips the human condition down to its most basic components, birth and death, suggesting that disaster lies not in the prospect of death but in the fact of birth, &quotthat laughable accident.&quot In the lucid, aphoristic style that characterizes his work, Cioran writes of time and death, God and religion, suicide and suffering, and the temptation to silence. Through sharp observation and patient contemplation, Cioran cuts to the heart of the human experience.&#8220In the company of Nietzsche and Kierkegaard.&quot&#8212Publishers Weekly&quotNo modern writer twists the knife with Cioran's dexterity. . . .

&#8220A lucid, highly engrossing account of a fateful but little chronicled episode in American presidential politics... featuring a large cast of personalities.&#8221 &#8212Richard Kluger, Pulitzer Prize&#8211winning author of Simple Justice Although the presidential election of 1944 placed FDR in the White House for an unprecedented fourth term, historical memory of the election itself has been overshadowed by the war, Roosevelt&#8217s health and his death the following April, Truman&#8217s ascendancy, and the decision to drop the atomic bomb. Today most people assume that FDR&#8217s reelection was assured. Yet, as David M. Jordan&#8217s engrossing account reveals, neither the outcome of the campaign nor even the choice of candidates was assured. Just a week before Election Day, pollster George Gallup thought a small shift in votes in a few key states would award the election to Thomas E. Dewey.
