The Deomcratic Republic of the Congo Crisis Explained: A Genocide the World Refuses to Name

For more than three decades, the Democratic Republic of the Congo has experienced one of the deadliest sustained conflicts since World War II, resulting in millions of deaths and the displacement of entire communities. Often described as “too complex” to understand, the crisis is more accurately defined by familiar forces: colonial extraction, foreign intervention, ethnic fragmentation, and the global demand for natural resources.

Deep Analysis: The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida

When The Way of the Superior Man was first published in 1997, it offered men a spiritual roadmap to purpose, love, and sexual integrity. But over time, it has divided readers — hailed by some as timeless wisdom, dismissed by others as poetic patriarchy. This essay explores both the brilliance and the blind spots of David Deida’s work, tracing its origins in the 1990s men’s movement, its tantric underpinnings, and its enduring influence on modern masculinity.

¡Patria o Muerte, Venceremos!” The Life and Afterlife of a Revolution’s Cry

Born from grief in the harbor of Havana, ¡Patria o Muerte, Venceremos! — Homeland or Death, We Shall Overcome — became the heartbeat of the Cuban Revolution. It began as a cry, evolved into a creed, and endures today as both memory and mirror. This essay traces the phrase’s extraordinary life: from Fidel Castro’s funeral speech after La Coubre to Che Guevara’s thunder at the United Nations, through decades of propaganda, adaptation, and digital rebirth. More than a slogan, it is proof that words can outlive their revolutions — that language itself can become the last survivor of history.

Come Up and See Me Sometime: Mae West and the Making of a Feminist Icon

Before Madonna struck a pose, Mae West struck a match.

She was the original provocateur — arrested for writing about sex, banned from Broadway for celebrating desire, and censored by Hollywood for refusing to play nice. Yet through wit, glamour, and sheer audacity, she rewrote the rules of womanhood on screen and off.

Come Up and See Me Sometime: Mae West and the Making of a Feminist Icon traces how one woman’s defiance shaped modern feminism, queer aesthetics, and the art of female self-invention.

Walter Rodney How Europe Underdeveloped Africa: A Revolutionary Lens on Power, Plunder, and Resistance

Walter Rodney was a man killed for telling the truth — that Africa’s poverty and Europe’s prosperity are two sides of the same coin. His groundbreaking book, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, exposed how centuries of slavery, colonialism, and corporate exploitation built the modern West on Africa’s stolen wealth. Half a century later, Rodney’s words remain as explosive as ever — a call to confront the systems that still profit from global inequality.

The Motherhood Mistake: A Cautionary Tale for Women With Dreams

Motherhood is often framed as a woman’s ultimate purpose, yet for many it becomes the greatest barrier to freedom, ambition, and self-actualization. The Motherhood Mistake: A Cautionary Tale for Women With Dreams challenges the cultural myth that children complete women, exposing instead how motherhood can consume their futures—unless entered from a position of independence and wealth. Drawing from lived experience and feminist critique, this piece serves as both testimony and warning: women with dreams must protect their autonomy first, or risk surrendering it to the unrelenting demands of motherhood.
