Perspective
“If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.” —Adolf Hitler Most of us have heard that in order to understand the present, we must first know the past. However, the history we learn in school is often watered down, incomplete, incorrect, and politically biased, and it is taught in a way that almost guarantees it will soon be forgotten. Nothing in Perspective (Part One) or Rambling with Nate (Part Two) needs to be memorized. The material is presented in a way that flows seamlessly, taking an honest, unbiased look at the history of the universe, our planet, science, and human evolution. But simply examining history is not enough. Indoctrination and propaganda, coupled with an uninformed public, are powerful tools that have been used throughout history by those who would make us their pawns. Critical thinking, along with a well-informed public, is the only way to combat this indoctrination. Perspective will take you to the door of this knowledge, but you must walk through it alone. “Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.” —Albert Einstein

Twelve Feminist Lessons of War
"Drawing on firsthand experiences of war from women in places as diverse as Ukraine, Myanmar, Somalia, Vietnam, Rwanda, Algeria, Syria, and Northern Ireland, this book shows how women's wars are not men's wars - and why that matters. Cynthia Enloe reveals the fraught politics of masculinity in drafting soldiers, the politics of femininity manipulated in caring for war's wounded, and why we should all be paying attention to Ukrainian feminists in wartime. Her razor-sharp analysis highlights how women's rights activists - against all odds - remain committed in the midst of armed violence. This is the book we need to understand what is happening to our world." -- Cover page 4.

Palestinian Music in Exile
A historical and contemporary study of Palestinian musicianship in exile in the Middle East, spanning half a century in disparate locations Palestinian Music in Exile is a historical and contemporary study of Palestinian musicianship in exile in the Middle East, spanning half a century in disparate and undocumented locations. The stories taking center stage show creatively divergent and revolutionary performance springing from conditions of colonialism, repression, and underdevelopment. What role does music play in the social spaces of Palestinian exile? How are the routes and roadblocks to musical success impacted by regional and international power structures? And how are questions of style, genre, or national tradition navigated by Palestinian musicians? Based on seven years of research in Europe and the Middle East, this timely and inspiring collection of musical ethnographies is the first oral history of contemporary Palestinian musicianship to appear in book form, and the only study to encompass such a broad range of experiences of the ghurba, or place of exile.
