Strangers Within
A comprehensive study of the New Christian elite of Jewish origin—prominent traders, merchants, bankers and men of letters—between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries In Strangers Within, Francisco Bethencourt provides the first comprehensive history of New Christians, the descendants of Jews forced to convert to Catholicism in late medieval Spain and Portugal. Bethencourt estimates that there were around 260,000 New Christians by 1500—more than half of Iberia’s urban population. The majority stayed in Iberia but a significant number moved throughout Europe, Africa, the Middle East, coastal Asia and the New World. They established Sephardic communities in North Africa, the Ottoman...
From Tian'anmen to Times Square
From Tian'anmen to Times Square: Transnational China and the Chinese Diaspora on Global Screens, 1989-1997 explores the important interconnections involving questions of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality on world screens by examining a range of films, videos, and digital works associated with global Chinese culture. The ways in which the world has imagined China and the images the Chinese have used to depict themselves have changed dramatically since 1989. The media spotlight placed on Beijing during the spring of 1989 created repercussions that continue to affect how China is seen globally, how it sees itself, and how the Chinese outside the People's Republic see themselves. The films ...
THE TRUTH OF THE ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE
In a world filled with scientific explanations and theories, it can be easy to lose sight of the ultimate truth of our existence. The truth is that the universe, with all its intricate complexities, did not come into being by mere chance or a random explosion. It was carefully designed and orchestrated by a higher power, a Creator who holds everything together. When we look up at the night sky and see the countless stars and galaxies stretching out into infinity, we cannot help but be in awe of the sheer magnitude and beauty of it all. The heavens declare the glory of God, as it says in the Bible, and remind us of the greatness of the one who made it all. The theory of the Big Bang, which po...

Pandemic and Crisis of Democracy
In this incisive book, André Duarte examines the health crisis resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and the contemporary crisis of democracy. Reflecting on President Jair Bolsonaro’s misgovernment of Brazil, as evidenced by his political actions, speeches and omissions from March 2020 to September 2021, and using concepts like biopolitics, neoliberalism and necropolitics, Duarte proposes three interrelated hypotheses to demonstrate Bolsonaro's sharp distrust of democracy. First, that Bolsonaro’s rhetoric, actions and omissions during the first year and a half of the pandemic revealed a dangerous mixture of biopolitical, neoliberal and necropolitical governmentality strategies. Second, t...
THE TRUTH OF THE ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE
The topic of undeserving credit given to the Big Bang and UFOs is a controversial one, with many people having strong opinions on the matter. While both the Big Bang theory and the existence of UFOs have been widely accepted, the author argues that they are given too much credit and recognition without su cient evidence to support their claims. The Big Bang theory is widely accepted as the most plausible explanation for the origin of the universe. Some critics argue that it is not the only possible explanation for the universe's origins. Some alternative theories, such as the steady-state theory or the oscillating universe theory, have been proposed as alternatives to the Big Bang theory. Similarly, the existence of UFOs is a topic that has been hotly debated for decades. While there have been countless reports of UFO sightings and encounters, there is a lack of concrete evidence to support the existence of extraterrestrial visitors. While the Big Bang theory and UFOs may be popular topics in popular culture, it is important to approach them with a critical eye and to consider the evidence before giving them undeserving credit.
