Letters to the Sons of Society
Author: Shaka Senghor
Publisher: Convergent Books
ISBN: 0593238028
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
The New York Times bestselling author of Writing My Wrongs invites men everywhere on a journey of honesty and healing through this book of moving letters to his sons—one whom he is raising and the other whose childhood took place during Senghor's nineteen-year incarceration. “A visceral and visual journey for the ages . . . the perfect road map for us to remove the barriers and obstacles against our true feelings.”—Kenya Barris, creator of black-ish ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2022—Essence Shaka Senghor has lived the life of two fathers. With his first son, Jay, born shortly after Senghor was incarcerated for second-degree murder, he experienced the regret of his own mistakes and the disconnection caused by a society that sees Black lives as disposable. With his second, Sekou, born after Senghor's release, he has experienced healing, transformation, intimacy, and the possibilities of a world where men and boys can openly show one another affection, support, and love. In this collection of beautifully written letters to Jay and Sekou, Senghor traces his journey as a Black man in America and unpacks the toxic and misguided messages about masculinity, mental health, love, and success that boys learn from an early age. He issues a passionate call to all fathers and sons—fathers who don't know how to show their sons love, sons who are navigating a fatherless world, boys who have been forced to grow up before their time—to cultivate positive relationships with other men, seek healing, tend to mental health, grow from pain, and rewrite the story that has been told about them. Letters to the Sons of Society is a soulful examination of the bond between father and sons, and a touchstone for anyone seeking a kinder, more just world.

Children of Nazis
Author: Tania Crasnianski
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1628728086
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
The Fascinating Story of Eight Children of Third Reich Leaders and their Journey from Descendants of Heroes to Descendants of Criminals In 1940, the German sons and daughters of great Nazi dignitaries Himmler, Göring, Hess, Frank, Bormann, Höss, Speer, and Mengele were children of privilege at four, five, or ten years old, surrounded by affectionate, all-powerful parents. Although innocent and unaware of what was happening at the time, they eventually discovered the extent of their father's occupations: These men—their fathers who were capable of loving their children and receiving love in return—were leaders of the Third Reich, and would later be convicted as monstrous war criminals. For these children, the German defeat was an earth-shattering source of family rupture, the end of opulence, and the jarring discovery of Hitler's atrocities. How did the offspring of these leaders deal with the aftermath of the war and the skeletons that would haunt them forever? Some chose to disown their past. Others did not. Some condemned their fathers; others worshiped them unconditionally to the end. In this enlightening book, which has been translated into eleven languages, Tania Crasnianski examines the responsibility of eight descendants of Nazi notables, caught somewhere between stigmatization, worship, and amnesia. By tracing the unique experiences of these children, she probes at the relationship between them and their fathers and examines the idea of how responsibility for the fault is continually borne by the descendants.

The Early History of the Sons of England Benevolent Society
Author: Peter Langford
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781978374997
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
The Sons of England Benevolent Society was a secret society of English Protestants, founded in Toronto, Canada, during the year 1874. Its purpose was to unite Englishmen for mutual support, social and moral uplift, and to offer financial security to them and their families should they fall upon hard times. In addition, the society aimed to preserve and propagate Anglo-Protestant culture and influence throughout the British Empire. It was especially focused on preserving the Empire's connection with the mother-country. The brotherhood established a network of lodges throughout Canada, South Africa, and Rhodesia, and collaborated with the Orange Order and the Order of the Sons of St. George (its "sister society" in the United States) on a number of issues. Its membership was composed of tens of thousands of workingmen, as well as many men of political influence, including newspaper editors, city mayors, aldermen, chiefs of police, politicians, military officers, and members of parliament. This book was originally written in 1891 by an early, and prominent member of the society, Dr. John S. King. The work not only includes the early history of the society, including its origins and the establishment of the first Grand Lodge, but also biographical sketches of its founding members. The book explores the reasons as to why the founding members felt the need to form such a society, and how they went about creating the first lodge, as well as some of the difficulties they had to overcome in its formative years, This historic work offers a fascinating insight into a little-known secret society that wielded significant influence in Canada and southern Africa for almost a hundred years.
