Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

First published in 1937, India captures the tense and tumultuous developments in India that would eventually result in her freedom a decade later. The author, unaware of this future of freedom, still holds hope for India’s continued existence under the British Commonwealth even as she meticulously records India’s vacillating constitutional status over several Round Table Conferences. The Conferences reveal what the author considers India’s greatest problem: protracted strife within various religious and social communities. The casual racism and the superiority complex spread across the book is a reminder that the author thinks and talks like a coloniser, but if one can get past that, the book will prove to be an engaging read with its interesting anecdotes, astute observations, and a failed prediction. Students of postcolonial studies, history, ethnic studies, colonial history, and journalism will greatly benefit from reading this book.

Emerging Diseases in Swine

By: Laila Darwich Soliva,Enric Mateu de Antonio,Jordi Casal Fabrega,Margarita Martín Castillo,Joaquim Segalés Coma

Emerging and reemerging diseases require a rapid and effective response from veterinary professionals and health authorities, in terms of both their identification and containment, in order to minimise morbidity and mortality rates in the affected population and limit their spread. This book, written by experts with a wide experience in the field, reviews, in a practical and concise manner, the emerging and reemerging diseases of swine of economic or zoonotic importance, as well as those with an impact that is still to be determined, but against which active and efficient epidemiological surveillance is necessary.

A savage song

Racist violence and armed resistance in the early twentieth-century U.S.–Mexico Borderlands

By: Margarita Aragon

This book examines key moments in which collective and state violence invigorated racialized social boundaries around Mexican and African Americans in the United States, and in which they violently contested them. Bringing anti-Mexican violence into a common analytical framework with anti-black violence, A savage song examines several focal points in this oft-ignored history, including the 1915 rebellion of ethnic Mexicans in South Texas, and its brutal repression by the Texas Rangers and the 1917 mutiny of black soldiers of the 24th Infantry Regiment in Houston, Texas, in response to police brutality. Aragon considers both the continuities and stark contrasts across these different moments: how were racialized constructions of masculinity differently employed? How did African and Mexican American men, including those in uniform, respond to the violence of racism? And how was their resistance, including their claims to manhood and nation, understood by law enforcement, politicians, and the press? Building on extensive archival research, the book examines how African and Mexican American men have been constructed as ‘racial problems’, investigating, in particular, their relationship with law enforcement and ideas about black and Mexican criminality.

Margarita Theory Volume One: Strangers vs. Ghosts

By: Margarita Mills

This is the theory of the things that make me up and tear me apart. I am the theory. I am exactly and nothing like anything you will read in this book. Everyone loves a Margarita, (or so I've heard). I'm here to test the theory.
