Book Description
The landmark alternative history of the Cold War from the perspective of the Global South, reissued in paperback with a new introduction by the author In this award-winning investigation into the overlooked history of the Third World—with a new preface by the author for its fifteenth anniversary—internationally renowned historian Vijay Prashad conjures what Publishers Weekly calls “a vital assertion of an alternative future.” The Darker Nations, praised by critics as a welcome antidote to apologists for empire, has defined for a generation of scholars, activists, and dreamers what it is to imagine a more just international order and continues to offer lessons for the radical political projects of today. With the disastrous U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the rise of India and China on the global scene, this paradigm-shifting book of groundbreaking scholarship helps us envision the future of the Global South by restoring to memory the vibrant though flawed idea of the Third World whose demise, Prashad ultimately argues, has produced an impoverished and asymmetrical international political arena. No other book on the Third World—as a utopian idea and a global movement—can speak so effectively and engagingly to our troubled times.

Book Description
Why was there such a far-reaching consensus concerning the utopian goal of national homogeneity in the first half of the twentieth century? Ethnic cleansing is analyzed here as a result of the formation of democratic nation-states, the international order based on them, and European modernity in general. Almost all mass-scale population removals were rationally and precisely organized and carried out in cold blood, with revenge, hatred and other strong emotions playing only a minor role. This book not only considers the majority of population removals which occurred in Eastern Europe, but is also an encompassing, comparative study including Western Europe, interrogating the motivations of Western statesmen and their involvement in large-scale population removals. It also reaches beyond the European continent and considers the reverberations of colonial rule and ethnic cleansing in the former British colonies.

Book Description
Justin Kena never knew his own strength. He was an average guy stuck working at a mediocre nonprofit in Washington, DC, unsure exactly where his next professional steps would take him. He was awkward, bored, lonely, and bordering on depression. With nothing to lose, he accepts a proposition from his friendly neighborhood corner boy that forever transforms his life. A guru and a hustler all at once, Dante earns Justin's trust and ushers him into a new and terrifying world just under the surface of the one he's always known. In this world, men and women are nothing more than food for daywalking vampires and housing for sinister demons. This lifestyle consumes Justin until he's not even sure he could turn back-or if he even wants to. Over the span of centuries and thousands of miles, from slave coffles in West Africa to the antebellum South; from the black sand beaches of Dominica to the back alleys of the nation's capital, Justin and Dante will live by the precepts of justice and redemption while satisfying their most carnal urges: A lust for blood...and a thirst for life. This is the Birth of a Dark Nation.

Book Description
This volume of the National Political Science Review, the official publication of the National Political Science Association, is anchored by a major symposium on The Politics of the Black "Nation," the book authored by Matthew Holden in 1973, which is now considered one of the most influential books in the field of black politics. Twenty-five years provide a sufficient timespan on which to base a retrospective of the book and simultaneously to reflect upon the evolution of the black liberation struggle, more formally called, African American politics. In the present age, there is not much talk about "a black nation," certainly not as was heard during the 1960s and mid-1970s. Yet there is a persistent sense of separateness in that there is constant thought and talk of "Black America" as a significantly separate communal entity. Black Americans are seen as a racially and culturally distinct community holding to social, political, economic interests which have special significance and poignancy for them. Holden's perception of the nature of the times in the early seventies stands in sharp contrast to how contemporary analysts of African American politics tend to perceive the nature of African Americans' role in political life and their position in American society in the present age. In this retrospective, readers have the opportunity to get a sense of what Holden argued of the seven essays that make up his seminal volume and to consider how well Holden's observations have stood the tests of time. In addition to the essays presented at the symposium, which pointedly discuss Holden's work, there are essays dealing with "African American Politics in Constancy and Change," by contributors including Charles Henry, David Covin, Robert C. Smith, Clyde Lusane, Cheryl Miller, D'Linell Finley, and Sekou Franklin, among others. Other features are a highly informative discussion of the Literary Digest magazine's Straw-Vote Presidential Polls, 1916-1936, and a

Book Description
KAMIT HENA NTORO - The Black Nation and Divinity The culture and people of ancient Khanit and Kamit (Nubia and Egypt) are Ancestral to Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans~Black People) all over the continent of Afuraka/Afuraitkait (Africa) and around the world. Archaelogical data and genetic data when properly assessed has borne out the direct material and genetic link of contemporary Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans), inclusive of those on the continent and those who migrated or were forced to migrate outside of the continent, to the Ancestral culture and population of Khanit and Kamit which spans over 40,000 years. What is referred to as anthropological data is the third leg of a three-legged stool including archaeological and biological data which allows us to properly identify ourselves through time wherever we have existed in the world. However, anthropolgical data, inclusive of the study language, family organiztion, cultural and ritual customs and more is only revealing when a firm knowledge of the cosmology is attained. In Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) Ancestral culture, knowledge of the cosmology is derived from the Ancestral Religion. Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) Ancestral Religion is informed by the Deities, the Divine Spirit-Forces in Creation, who are directed by the Great Mother and Great Father, the Supreme Being, to engage the process of spirit-possession and spirit-communication... ...In this publication we address the nature of the idenity of our people and our relationship with the Deities as codified in the ancient terms Kamit and Ntoro. These terms spelled in the medutu (hieroglyphs) typically without consonants: Kmt and Ntr define the ‘Black Nation and Divinity’. We utilize the Akan language and culture to elucidate the proper meaning of these terms, their proper vocalizations and their etymological and cosmological foundations rooted in the Ancestral Religion of Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African~Black) people. This publication is the first to fully and properly define these terms.

Book Description
We Who Are Dark provides the first extended philosophical defense of black political solidarity. Tommie Shelby argues that we can reject a biological idea of race and agree with many criticisms of identity politics yet still view black political solidarity as a needed emancipatory tool. In developing his defense of black solidarity, he draws on the history of black political thought, focusing on the canonical figures of Martin R. Delany and W. E. B. Du Bois.
