"It's wishing instead that a collective rejection of the stereotypes that have dogged the continent ever since the White Men In Khaki drew their fictitious map will encourage the world, as the Year of Return did, to engage with the continent as it actually exists - not with an idea, but with its genuine form... engage with all of it: each language and climate; each political and social framework; each nation trying to form its identity specifically."

this was so informational and compelling regarding the political and social aspects of numerous african nations in such an entertaining way i loved it. i read this for a history of Africa course and i finished this book weeks before i was supposed to but so worth it and so fun to discuss ]]> Review7361469978 Tue, 18 Mar 2025 18:10:00 -0700 <![CDATA[addison � added 'The Nazis, Capitalism and the Working Class']]> /review/show/7361469978 The Nazis, Capitalism and the Working Class by Donny Gluckstein addison � gave 4 stars to The Nazis, Capitalism and the Working Class (Paperback) by Donny Gluckstein

"Within the broad spectrum of resistance in Germany itself it was the working class that distinguished itself as the most important and chief obstacle to the monstrous ambitions of the Third Reich."

This book got more and more interesting the further I read. It has definitely introduced me to a perspective of World War II that I have been largely unaware of until recently. I am so interested in reading more works similar to this ]]> UserStatus1027466680 Sat, 15 Mar 2025 19:02:18 -0700 <![CDATA[ addison � is on page 163 of 300 of The Nazis, Capitalism and ]]> The Nazis, Capitalism and the Working Class by Donny Gluckstein addison � is on page 163 of 300 of <a href="/book/show/12426823-the-nazis-capitalism-and-the-working-class">The Nazis, Capitalism and the Working Class</a>. ]]> Review7291056454 Mon, 24 Feb 2025 20:52:31 -0800 <![CDATA[addison � added 'The Lost Revolution: Germany 1918 to 1923']]> /review/show/7291056454 The Lost Revolution by Chris Harman addison � gave 3 stars to The Lost Revolution: Germany 1918 to 1923 (International Socialism) by Chris Harman

"But when the dust settles a little, it is those still half connected with the old order who command mass support - for the masses do not abandon overnight the prejudices hammered into them over a lifetime. There is no easy path by which the hard lessons of experience, that alone will change their views, can be evaded." ]]> Review7215513829 Wed, 22 Jan 2025 13:53:34 -0800 <![CDATA[addison � added 'Firefly Lane']]> /review/show/7215513829 Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah addison � gave 3 stars to Firefly Lane (Firefly Lane, #1) by Kristin Hannah

�'I will protect even those I hate,' Kaladin whispered through bloody lips, 'So long as it is right.'�

this is definitely my favorite one so far. i feel like i just read four books rather than one because everything ever seemed to happen yet the end of the book is a reminder that the remaining problems just happen to be the very large, seemingly impossible to fix ones. i need to buy the 3rd one asap or i will have withdrawals from not reading about kaladin or shallan. ]]> UserChallenge60744772 Fri, 10 Jan 2025 20:30:27 -0800 <![CDATA[ addison � has created a challenge to read 30 books in 2025. ]]> /user/show/137723367-addison 11627

�'I can’t unfind you.'�

this was so weird yet so enthralling?? the complexity that is alien and human reproduction blending to highlight the flaws of humanity, especially our creation of social hierarchy, is so interesting to see intertwined throughout this story ]]>
