Free Download The White Architects of Black Education: Ideology and Power in America, 1865-1954 By William H. Watkins
2001 | 208 Pages | ISBN: 080774042X | PDF | 30 MB
A historical investigation into the political and ideological foundations of the "miseducation of the Negro" in America, this timely and provocative volume explores the men and ideas that helped shape educational and societal apartheid from the Civil War to the new millennium. It is a study of how big corporate power uses private wealth to legislate, shape unequal race relations, broker ideas, and define "acceptable" social change. Drawing on little-known biographies of White power brokers who shaped Black education, William Watkins explains the structuring of segregated education that has plagued the United States for much of the 20th century. With broad and interdisciplinary appeal, this book is written in a language accessible to lay people and scholars alike.

Free Download Gregory Leighton, "Ideology and Holy Landscape in the Baltic Crusades "
English | ISBN: 1641894547 | 2022 | 242 pages | PDF | 11 MB
This book examines how the military orders and the ideology of crusading gave rise to a new sacred landscape in the medieval Baltic region, an outpost of Latin Christianity. Drawing on a wide variety of sources and international scholarship, the book discusses the paganism of the landscape in written sources pre-dating the crusades, in addition to the narrative, legal, and visual evidence of the crusade period. It draws out the key sacralizing elements as expressed in those sources, which structure the definition of sacred landscape, particularly martyrdom, the manifestation of the sacred, and use of relics in battle. By analyzing these aspects with Geographical Information Systems (GIS), a map of the Baltic campaigns emerges that provides a fresh approach to studying contemporary views of holy war in a region with no initial links to the

Free Download Carol Gluck, "Japan's Modern Myths: Ideology in the Late Meiji Period "
English | ISBN: 0691054495 | | 424 pages | PDF | 29 MB
Ideology played a momentous role in modern Japanese history. Not only did the elite of imperial Japan (1890-1945) work hard to influence the people to "yield as the grasses before the wind," but historians of modern Japan later identified these efforts as one of the underlying pathologies of World War II. Available for the first time in paperback, this study examines how this ideology evolved. Carol Gluck argues that the process of formulating and communicating new national values was less consistent than is usually supposed. By immersing the reader in the talk and thought of the late Meiji period, Professor Gluck recreates the diversity of ideological discourse experienced by Japanese of the time. The result is a new interpretation of the views of politics and the nation in imperial Japan.

Free Download Adorno's Nietzschean Narratives: Critiques of Ideology, Readings of Wagner By Karin Bauer
1999 | 296 Pages | ISBN: 0791442802 | PDF | 13 MB
Investigates the intellectual affinities of Adorno and Nietzsche, culminating in a discussion of their readings of Wagner, who serves as a medium and supplement for their critiques of modern culture. This is the first book to provide a broad and comparative analysis of the relationship of these two influential thinkers to one another. Defying conventional appropriations of Nietzsche's and Adorno's thought, Bauer establishes crucial links between different traditions of critical thought, suggesting elective and selective affinities in the pursuit of a radicalized critique of ideology and culture. Against Habermas, Bauer argues that Nietzsche did not abandon the project of modernity, but rather achieved its most radical confrontation with the myths of the Enlightenment. Bauer's inquiry into Nietzsche's and Adorno's critiques of rationality, historicism, metaphysics, and Bildung culminates in an exposition of their readings of Wagner, who serves as a medium and supplement for their critiques of modern culture. "This is one of the great encounters of the twentieth century. Bauer does pioneering work in establishing a comprehensive account of Adorno's actual dealing with Nietzsche, and by unfolding the dialogue between the two philosophers on the issue of modernity, she makes an important contribution to our own self-understanding and self-consciousness. The subject matter is not 'easy,' but Bauer presents it in a way that captivates the reader. I am certain the book will find a broad audience among people who are interested in the Frankfurt School, Nietzsche, and in critical theory in general." -- Ernst Behler, University of Washington

Free Download Arti Dhand, "Woman As Fire, Woman As Sage: Sexual Ideology in the Mahabharata"
English | 2009 | ISBN: 0791471403, 079147139X | PDF | pages: 266 | 3.6 mb
The Hindu tradition has held conflicting views on womanhood from its earliest texts-holding women aloft as goddesses to be worshipped on the one hand and remaining deeply suspicious about women's sexuality on the other. In Woman as Fire, Woman as Sage, Arti Dhand examines the religious premises upon which Hindu ideas of sexuality and women are constructed. The work focuses on the great Hindu epic, the Mahābhārata, a text that not only reflects the cogitations of a momentous period in Hindu history, but also was critical in shaping the future of Hinduism. Dhand proposes that the epic's understanding of womanhood cannot be isolated from the broader religious questions that were debated at the time, and that the formation of a sexual ideology is one element in crafting a coherent religious framework for Hinduism.

Free Download Orpheus in Macedonia: Myth, Cult and Ideology by Tomasz Mojsik
English | December 15, 2022 | ISBN: 1350213187 | True EPUB/PDF | 224 pages | 1.2/13.4 MB
The mythological hero Orpheus occupied a central role in ancient Greek culture, but 'the son of Oeagrus' and 'Thracian musician' venerated by the Greeks has also become a prominent figure in a long tradition of classical reception of Greek myth. This book challenges our entrenched idea of Orpheus and demonstrates that in the Classical and Hellenistic periods depictions of his identity and image were not as unequivocal as we tend to believe today.
