Misanthropology: Science, Pseudoscience, and the Study of Humanity introduces students to key concepts in critical thinking across the four core branches of anthropology: cultural, linguistic, biological, and archaeological. It combines a critical analysis of anthropology as a field with current concepts in scientific skepticism. By deconstructing a range of global case studies in which anthropological research runs aground, the book teaches students to distinguish between legitimate science and pseudoscience. It covers key concepts in critical thinking and rigorous research, such as cognitive biases and logical fallacies, data collection and consensus, probabilistic thinking, as well as political, nationalist, racist biases. Students learn not only how to apply these concepts to anthropological research and fieldwork, but also to their consumption of everyday information. This book will appeal to anthropology students and will be particularly useful for instructors of introductory anthropology courses, as well as instructors of courses across the humanities and social sciences focused on inculcating critical thinking skills.

In Implied Nowhere: Absence in Folklore Studies, authors Shelley Ingram, Willow G. Mullins, and Todd Richardson talk about things folklorists don’t usually talk about. They ponder the tacit aspects of folklore and folklore studies, looking into the unarticulated expectations placed upon people whenever they talk about folklore and how those expectations necessarily affect the folklore they are talking about. The book’s chapters are wide-ranging in subject and style, yet they all orbit the idea that much of folklore, both as a phenomenon and as a field, hinges upon unspoken or absent assumptions about who people are and what people do. The authors articulate theories and methodologies for making sense of these unexpressed absences, and, in the process, they offer critical new insights into discussions of race, authenticity, community, literature, popular culture, and scholarly authority. Taken as a whole, the book represents a new and challenging way of looking again at the ways groups come together to make meaning. In addition to the main chapters, the book also includes eight “interstitials,” shorter studies that consider underappreciated aspects of folklore. These discussions, which range from a consideration of knitting in public to the ways that invisibility shapes an internet meme, are presented as questions rather than answers, encouraging readers to think about what more folklore and folklore studies might discover if only practitioners chose to look at their subjects from angles more cognizant of these unspoken gaps.

Studies of the writing of Herman Melville are often divided among those that address his political, historical, or biographical dimensions and those that offer creative theoretical readings of his texts. In Herman Melville and the Politics of the Inhuman, Michael Jonik offers a series of nuanced and ambitious philosophical readings of Melville that unite these varied approaches. Through a careful reconstruction of Melville's interaction with philosophy, Jonik argues that Melville develops a notion of the 'inhuman' after Spinoza's radically non-anthropocentric and relational thought. Melville's own political philosophy, in turn, actively disassembles differences between humans and nonhumans, and the animate and inanimate. Jonik has us rethink not only how we read Melville, but also how we understand our deeply inhuman condition.

Melville's Philosophies departs from a long tradition of critical assessments of Melville that dismissed his philosophical capacities as ingenious but muddled. Its contributors do not apply philosophy to Melville in order to detect just how much of it he knew or understood. To the contrary, they try to hear the philosophical arguments themselves-often very strange and quite radical-that Melville never stopped articulating and reformulating. What emerges is a Melville who is materialistically oriented in a radical way, a Melville who thinks about life forms not just in the context of contemporary sciences but also ontologically. Melville's Philosophies recovers a Melville who is a thinker of great caliber, which means obliquely but dramatically reversing the way the critical tradition has characterized his ideas. Finally, as a result of the readings collected here, Melville emerges as a very relevant thinker for contemporary philosophical concerns, such as the materialist turn, climate change, and post-humanism.

With characteristic wit, Harry Berger, Jr., brings his flair for close reading to texts and images across two millennia that illustrate what he calls “structural misanthropology.” Beginning with a novel reading of Plato, Berger emphasizes Socrates’s self-acknowledged failures. The dialogues, he shows, offer up, only to dispute, a misanthropic polis. The Athenian city-state, they worry, is founded on a social order motivated by apprehension—both the desire to take and the fear of being taken. In addition to suggesting new political and philosophical dimensions to Platonic thought, Berger’s attention to rhetorical practice offers novel ways of parsing the dialogic method itself. In the book’s second half, Berger revisits and revises his earlier accounts of Italian humanism, Elizabethan drama, and Dutch painting. Berger shows how structural misanthropology helps us to read the competitive practices that characterize Renaissance writing and art, whether in Machiavelli’s constitutional prostheses, Shakespeare’s pageants of humiliation, or the elbow jabs of Dutch portraiture.

Building on the lively exchange between anthropology and art that has emerged in recent years, Between Matter and Method makes a bold and creative contribution to this rapidly growing field. Taking an expansive approach to the arts, it finds commonalities in approaches that engage with visual artifacts, sound, performance, improvisation, literature, dance, theater, and design. The book questions current disciplinary boundaries and offers a new model grounded in a shared methodology for interdisciplinary encounter between art and anthropology. Gretchen Bakke and Marina Peterson have gathered together anthropologists whose work is notable for engaging the arts and creative practice in conceptually rigorous and methodologically innovative ways, including Kathleen Stewart, Keith Murphy, Natasha Myers, Stuart McLean, Craig Campbell, and Roger Sansi. Essays span the globe from Indonesia, West Virginia and Los Angeles in the United States, to the Orkney Islands in the UK, and Russia and Spain.

Bloodlands + Black Earth: Red Flags as History and Warning. Stalin, Mao, & Hitler - their blood red flags and black hearts caused the deaths of millions. There was a conspiracy shared by all three of them and by many others worldwide. They were aided by ideological comrades in the USA. Their comrades continue to cover up their deadly dogma today. Top historical discoveries of the century are revealed in this book, including: (1) Congress and the Flag Code confirm that the military salute was the origin of the Nazi salute. (2) The USA's Pledge of Allegiance inspired Nazi rituals. (3) Public schools spread Nazi behavior. (4) Swastikas represented crossed "S" letter shapes for "socialist" under Hitler. The above scholarly achievements are from astounding academic work by the historian Dr. Rex Curry. Verified! The U.S. Congress confirms that the remarkable research is correct. Learn how flag laws are written to hide America's scary past, present, and future. Fact checked! The startling news exposes the origins of the police state and how to fight it. Save yourself from the cult of the omnipotent state! The de-programming guide is right here. This blockbuster debunks parts of Timothy Snyder's books "Bloodlands" and "Black Earth." EXPOSED: what the "+" symbol means on the front cover in the title "Bloodlands + Black Earth"! Author Ian Tinny relied on research by Dr. Curry, including these astonishing discoveries: (1) that the "Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag" was the origin of the Nazi salute and Nazi behavior; (2) that the military salute was the origin of the Nazi salute (via the military salute's use in the original Pledge of Allegiance) and; (3) Swastikas represented crossed "S" letter shapes for "socialist" under Hitler. Research for Dr. Curry's distinguished accomplishments was painstaking and difficult, but fortunately grad students are plentiful and cheap. The government calls America's beloved VexilLOLogist (Dr. Curry) "the man who knows too much." Anyone who doubts that Hitler used the swastika to represent "S" letter shapes for "Socialism" is someone who believes Hitler was blind and that Hitler remained blind throughout the decades that Hitler used the symbol for his National Socialist Party. Eventually, Dr. Curry's discovery about the swastika will become so well-known and so obvious that no one will believe that Dr. Curry "made the discovery that Hitler used the swastika to represent 'S' letter shapes for 'socialism'" because no one will believe that there ever was a time when people could not see that Dr. Curry's assertion was self-evident. People will not believe that there ever was a time when the world did not see the glaring truth. People of the future will not believe that people of today were so blind and ignorant. It will be Dr. Curry's revolutionary paradigm shift. The same path of doubt, dissemination, and eventual widespread acceptance and paradigm shift will occur regarding Dr. Curry's discovery that the Pledge of Allegiance was the origin of the Nazi salute and Nazi behavior. "There is rumor of a Pulitzer Prize for exposing the Pledge of Allegiance as the origin of Nazi salutes and Nazi behavior; and the swastika as alphabetical 'S' letter shaped symbolism for 'socialist.' Hooray!" - R. Yates Bloodsworth "The professor's work left us speechless!" - Tampa Tribune Newspaper "This book will make you wonder if anything you know is true." - Dead Writers Club The Dead Writers Club also fights media incompetency and dishonesty; toward that goal it joined with the Pointer Institute to shut down the Tampa Tribune Newspaper in 2016. The author Ian Tinny's work (with the assistance of the Pointer Institute) led to the arrest, trial, conviction, and imprisonment of America's Dumbest Criminals (and the foreclosure of their homes, along with victim restitution liens, and criminal forfeiture judgments, in amounts totaling millions of dollars).

Nazi salutes were “made in the USA.” That’s one of many amazing revelations explained in this eye-popping book. All the secrets are revealed here about the notorious gesture known by many names: Nazi salutes, Bellamy salutes, Hitler salutes, Roman salutes, Fascist salutes. Most of what is written about Adolf Hitler is designed to deceive the public. For example, the following facts (with credit to the archives of the historian Dr. Rex Curry) will come as news to most readers: 1. Hitler was influenced by American socialists - the USA's Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was the origin of Nazi salutes and Nazi behavior. The pledge was written by an American national socialist. 2. The classic military salute (to the brow) also contributed to the creation of the Nazi salute (with the right-arm extended stiffly). 3. Hitler and his supporters self-identified as “socialists” by the very word in voluminous speeches and writings. The term "Socialist" appears throughout Mein Kampf as a self-description by Hitler. 4. Hitler never called himself a "Nazi." There was no “Nazi Germany.” There was no “Nazi Party.” Those terms are slang to hide how Hitler and his comrades self-identified: SOCIALIST. 5. Hitler never called himself a “Fascist.” That term is misused to hide how Hitler and his comrades self-identified: SOCIALIST. 6. The term “Nazi” isn’t in "Mein Kampf" nor in "Triumph of the Will." 7. The term “Fascist” never appears in Mein Kampf as a self-description by Hitler. 8. The term “swastika” never appears in the original Mein Kampf. 9. There is no evidence that Hitler ever used the word “swastika.” 10. The symbol that Hitler did use was intended to represent “S”-letter shapes for “socialist.” 11. Hitler altered his own signature to reflect his “S-shapes for socialism” logo branding. 12. Mussolini was a long-time socialist leader, with a socialist background, raised by socialists to be a socialist, and he joined socialists known as “fascio, fasci, and fascisti.” 13. Fascism came from a socialist (e.g. Mussolini). Communism came from a socialist (e.g. Marx). Fascism and Communism came from socialists. 14. German socialists and Soviet socialists partnered for International Socialism in 1939. They launched WWII, invading Poland together, and continued onward from there, killing millions. Soviet socialism had signed on for Hitler’s Holocaust. 15. After Hitler’s death, Stalin continued the plan he had made with Hitler for Global Socialism. Stalin took over the same areas that Hitler had captured. He used the same facilities that Hitler had used. Hitler’s Holocaust never ended. Stalin replaced Hitler. Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Mussolini, and other tyrants were influenced by propaganda in the USA, including the childish American socialists Francis Bellamy and Edward Bellamy. Both Bellamy cousins wanted government to take over all schools, to teach socialism to all youngsters worldwide. Francis Bellamy was the author of the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag, the origin of the infamous stiff-armed salute adopted later under German socialism and Adolf Hitler. Long before the Deutschland fad began, American schoolchildren were taught to chant in unison and perform the same salute each day in government schools that imposed segregation by law and taught racism as official policy. Anyone who rejected the ritual in the schools was persecuted. “America’s Nazi salute” was often performed by public officials in the USA from 1892 through 1942. What happened to old photographs and films of the American Nazi salute performed by federal, state, county, and local officials? Those photos and films are rare because people don't want to know the truth about the government’s past. TV, newspapers and other MSM will not show a historic photo or video of the early American straight-arm salute nor mention its history and impact worldwide. American youth groups (Scouting) adopted Bellamy's American Nazi salute (with Bellamy’s encouragement) AND saluted swastika badges (卐) worn by fellow scouts. Many Americans were accustomed to “Nazi salutes for swastikas” long before German socialism (and Hitler Youth) adopted similar behavior under Hitler. That helps to explain another inconvenient truth: swastikas were promoted in the US military and worn as a patch on the upper left arm of American soldiers in a fashion that would become uniform under German socialism. There are photos in this book! The military salute was the origin of Nazi salutes, via the USA's flag pledge in government schools. Public officials in the USA who preceded the German socialist (Hitler) and the Italian socialist (Mussolini) were sources for the stiff-armed salute (and brainwashed chanting) in Germany, Italy, and other foreign countries. The "ancient Roman salute" myth originated from the city of Rome in the state of New York (not Italy), Bellamy's hometown. Later, Mussolini presented a strange gift to the city of Rome, NY: a statue of two human male infants suckling on a female wolf. That statue remains on display in Rome, NY.

How did Adolf Hitler and his ideological ilk launch our world's modern police state? Discover how the military salute was the origin of the Nazi salute. Learn how the USA's Pledge of Allegiance made it happen. See photos of swastikas worn by American soldiers and the military before Hitler. The old media recycle stereotypes about Hitler. Why do people who hate Hitler glorify his dogma globally? The new media perpetuate the same stereotypes. Adolf Hitler is the scapegoat for today's authoritarianism. They do it to cover-up amazing truths exposed in this book: (1) the USA's Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was the origin of the Nazi salute and Nazi behavior; (2) the swastika was used by Nazis to represent crossed "S" letter symbols for "socialism." After WWI, when Lenin was seizing power in Russia, was Hitler watching Lenin, and emulating in Germany Lenin's power grab in Russia? The "Furher" did the same regarding Stalin. Hitler patterned himself after Lenin and Stalin. They were parallel lives. Discover the parallel lives of Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Hitler (born 1870, 1878, 1889, 1893, respectively). Hitler became the black sheep of the political movement he championed. He was the scapegoat for Stalin, Mao and all socialists who blame “Hitler, Nazism, and Fascism.” Was Hitler a political transvestite? This is a study of one of the deadliest eras in humanity's history. The Dead Writers Club draws upon our understanding of the universalities of human nature to explore the ageless issues of evil, suffering, and the indomitable will of the human spirit. It explores the fields of anarchaeology and misanthropology. This book examines the anatomy of the state. All the monstrous post-mortem parts are dissected in this autopsy. New light is shined on the putrid cadaver. They say "truth is stranger than fiction" and this book shows how it just can be. For too long the world has tried to grasp how it was possible. This riveting semi-biographical work brings us closer than ever to the answer. The Dead Writers Club (DWC) mined Professor Rex Curry's published and unpublished oeuvre, selecting passages from his essays, letters, notes, and interviews that are every bit as incisive and pertinent now as they have ever been. Weaving these texts together, DWC brilliantly imagines the book that Dr. Curry never wrote. DWC's publication uses Curry's work to jump through time in a blazing examination of the tragic story of world history. Dr. Curry is an unlikely angel of hope during one of history's darkest hours. The result is a radical, up-to-the-minute examination of authoritarianism in America and worldwide, with a flood of rich archival material. "I Am Your Negro" is a journey into global persecution that contrasts the past of the Individual Rights movement to the present of the modern police state. This book questions the presentation of liberty in Hollywood and beyond. The DWC has produced a work that challenges the very definition of what America stands for. "The new book by the Dead Writers Club is 'I Am Your Negro.' It explains many of the ways in which the venerable Dr. Rex Curry has blown our minds. Dr. Curry's academic work is cited in many books on Amazon, Kindle, and other sources." - Uhren Schmuck Buch Society of Germany "Adolf Hitler's ideas led to war, genocide, totalitarian oppression, family breakdown, and disastrous social experiments. And yet his bad ideas are still popular and pervasive--in fact, they might influence your own thinking without your realizing it. Here with the antidote is the Dead Writers Club in this scintillating new book." - Rev. Drosselgasse Rheinfahrt "Buy this book while it's legal. Rex rox!" - the Asthmatic Cat Foundation "Tinny slams more ideological ice picks into the global hive mind." - Dr. Herren N. Damen
