This is an important book. If you love Loewen, you will love this book, as it covers the whole history of white supremacy in US textbooks and culture. Goes to the cancered hearts of so many of our institutions and a documentary history of systemic and institutional racism, that only the most depraved ignoramus can attempt to deny.

Amazing book. The focus on collective interests of the community in water rights for both the indigenous and Spanish rule periods of California history is interesting when you know that it will contrast sharply with the dominance of corporate interests today eg the Resnicks and their evil ilk.

Such an excellent book, really.

This is an interesting book especially for someone like me who has taught the Autobiography perhaps 70 times. It lays out A LOT, including for my father's generation (I have his original hardback from '65) to mine, with Spike Lee's X being one of the defining movies of my generation.

The biographies of the masters in his lineage were amazing. His biography is amazing. But the explanations of Hadith are miracles.

By this point, Reassurance has established a powerful intellectual and spiritual lineage connecting Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Jaʿfarī to earlier reformers such as Imam Ibn Idrīs and the Sanūsī family, whose influence extended across North Africa and into the anti-colonial movements of the 19th and early 20th centuries.It also describes the life of the great saints in the lineage, Al-Azhar, his sonand the Shaikh beautifully.

If anyone thinks Trump "looking into" pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell, you need to read Virginia Roberts Guiffre's book "Nobody's Girl," to see how Maxwell was an "apex predator." She was at least as evil as Epstein, if not more. Zi@nist demons in human form. Guiffre saw the Maxwell and Epstein as two parts of one whole.

I'm glad this is in English. I do wish it was more closely edited, though. There are mistranslations and errors, such as that the Prophet ﷺ struck Ubayy Bin Khalaf with a "sword" when Ubayy attacked him at Uhud, when it was a spear. (pg. 57). Even worse, the author names the attacker as "Umayah bin Khalaf" in one sentence then correctly as "Ubay bin Khalaf" as the next. There are other errors like that.

This book so far is extremely harrowing to read. It's a good reminder of the reality of evil in the world, and it's deeply deeply disturbing. I am reading it because the perverted devils in power connected to circles like Epstein's need to be held accountable, but it really is not easy to stomach what she and others like her experience. Makes you want to fight evil though. And worries you for children.

Ibram X. Kendi's new biography for youth on Malcolm X رَحِمَهُ اللهُ puts Joe Biden as a hero for anti-racism in the first chapter of the narrative by saying that he ran for president to oppose the white supremacist march in Charlottesville. It's cynical manipulation upon cynical manipulation. Otherwise, it's good.

Uplifting and overflowing with blessed knowledge. It needs a republishing.

Masterful in scope. Engaging reading as good history writing should be.

Must read.
