The souls of black folk

W.E.B Du Bois

Beschreibung

This carefully crafted ebook: "THE SOULS OF BLACK FOLK" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.
"The Souls of Black Folk" is a cornerstone of African-American literary history. Published in 1903, this seminal book of essays incited many white supremacists who discredited it as "dangerous" and "imaginative." Drawing upon his own personal experiences of racism, Du Bois argued that African Americans are forced to wear a "veil" of color line, that is, they are forced to live their race every single day of their lives. This is why a strong political Black leadership must emerge from within the community and continue the fight for their rights. A century later, African Americans are still fighting these personal and political battles against racism and Du Bois' words have never run as true as they are now.
W. E. B. Du Bois (1868–1963) was an American sociologist, historian, civil rights activist, Pan-Africanist, author, and editor. He was the first African American to earn a doctorate and to become a professor of history, sociology and economics at Atlanta University. Du Bois was one of the co-founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and a prominent the leader of the Niagara Movement, a group of African-American activists who wanted equal rights for blacks.

State looters Again and again

Philippe Pascot

On September 15, 2017, in front of millions of television viewers, Emmanuel Macron, with François Bayrou, his Keeper of the Seals at the time, delivered his first lie: “It is now impossible to be elected when you have a B2 criminal record”. Nothing could be further from the truth: in 2025, it is still possible to stand for election and be elected after having been convicted by the courts, whereas there are 396 jobs requiring a clean criminal record. Ten years after the best-seller Pilleurs d'État (State Looters), which sold 120,000 copies, Philippe Pascot takes stock of the progress and setbacks in French politics, listing all the legal abuses still available to the political class: exorbitant salaries and associated expenses, tax exemptions, multiple pensions, fictitious employment, exceptional justice, show trials, bogus declarations of interest and activities, and so many other little arrangements between friends... For Philippe Pascot, the findings are indisputable: “Behind a declared desire for transparency and moralization in the political sphere, our elected representatives continue to nurture their own interests through laws that are less and less comprehensible, in order to escape criminal prosecution and drape themselves in a circumstantial innocence. ”

Law of Attraction - Master...

Jenny Hashkins

This is a great book, which contains 2 books instead of just 1, which are these: 
Book 1: The universe works in mysterious ways. Sudden fortune and sudden losses appear constantly on this planet. We don’t always know why, but we can start to align ourselves more with how things are and can be. That’s why this book discusses topics such as: 
Asking the universe what you want, increasing your vibrational frequency to attract those things, and manifesting methods to make your wishes come true. 
The Kybalion concept, what it means, and how it applies to the law of attraction. 
Meditation and signs that you are in the midst of a spiritual awakening. Many people go through transition phases in their lives and don’t make the most out of these moments, because they simply don’t understand how they can help them. 
Book 2: The power of our subconscious minds is strong. Many people don’t know what to do with those mysterious forces, so in this guide, you can explore more what they mean and where they come from. Moreover, these things are connected to emotional intelligence, a discipline and quality that has been highlighted more often since recently. 
And how about becoming a free soul? What does that mean? How does that happen? And how do you know you are one? The power of positive thinking is certainly related to this concept, and you will become more acquainted with the two and their similarities.
