Alexandra instead of bringing up a new topic adds to the ongoing debate of capitalism

and slavery with the topic of women labor in the Antebellum slave trade. Alexandra focuses on

and economical identity of the south. With the use of four enslaved women's personal stories and

histories to reveal just how complex and deep slavery involved itself into all aspects of the south

solely developing from greed fueled by capitalism.

Developed and developing nations are starting to fight back against this idea that has been set in

stone with politicians and the populist as fuel. This book questions the roles of these giant

corporations and what exactly they do for the nations they are connected with. This along with

guessing at what the future of these corporations will be with the development and reliance on

new technology.

Rappaport, Joanne. Cowards don't make history : Orlando Fals Borda and the origins of

participatory action research. Durham : Duke University Press, 2020

Joanne Rappaport details the events of researcher and activist Fals Borda and how his

participation with the topic of his research led to far more change than someone just talking

about it. Fals Borda directly tied himself into the abuse of the poor/weak and connected them

through the use of teaching and showing they aren’t alone. This book gives a perfect example of

how involvement is the only way to truly make change. Due to Fals Borda example being set in

Columbia it started to spread throughout the rest of Latin America and beyond.
