The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story By : Nikole Hannah-Jones READ BOOK NOW   DOWNLOAD BOOK NOW   Book Synopsis : The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story offers a revealing vision of the American past and present. In late August 1619, a ship arrived in the British colony of Virginia bearing a cargo of twenty to thirty enslaved people from Africa. Their arrival led to the barbaric and unprecedented system of American chattel slavery that would last for the next 250 years. This is sometimes referred to as the country?s original sin, but it is more than that: It is the source of so much that still defines the United States.

This book substantially expands on the original "1619 Project, "weaving together eighteen essays that explore the lega...

The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity By : David Graeber READ BOOK NOW   DOWNLOAD BOOK NOW   Book Synopsis : INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A dramatically new understanding of human history, challenging our most fundamental assumptions about social evolution?from the development of agriculture and cities to the origins of the state, democracy, and inequality?and revealing new possibilities for human emancipation.For generations, our remote ancestors have been cast as primitive and childlike?either free and equal innocents, or thuggish and warlike. Civilization, we are told, could be achieved only by sacrificing those original freedoms or, alternatively, by taming our baser instincts. David Graeber and David Wengrow show how such theories first emerged in the eighteenth century as a conservative reaction to powerful critiques of European society posed by Indigenous observers and intellectuals.

According to John McWhorter, the problem is that a well-meaning but pernicious form of antiracism has become, not a progressive ideology, but a religion--and one that's illogical, unreachable, and u...
