audiobook Shark of the Confederacy: The Story of the Css Alabama by Charles M.; III Robinson in History

Description

In this wonderful book; Thomas Patterson effectively dethrones the concept of 'civilization' as an abstract good; transcending human society.--Martin Bernal Drawing on his extensive knowledge of early societies; Thomas C. Patterson shows how class; sexism; and racism have been integral to the appearance of "civilized" societies in Western Europe. He lays out clearly and simply how civilization; with its designs of "civilizing" and "being civilized;" has been closely tied to the rise of capitalism in Western Europe and the development of social classes.
