The Shortest History of Scandinavia: 14,000 Years from the Stone Age and the Vikings to the Happiest Nations in the World
by Mart Kuldkepp
Scandinavia has long been lauded for its equality, universal welfare, peacefulness, and untouched nature--not to mention its interior design, crime literature, and love of all things hygge. But the Nordic nations have had their dark periods, too: pandemics, wars and occupations, and expansionism are all essential to understanding the Scandinavian story. In The Shortest History of Scandinavia, historian Mart Kuldkepp sketches the outlines of the region's rich history, tracing its political and social evolution from its first-known peoples, who followed the retreating ice sheet north during the last Ice Age, to the modern Scandinavians living in countries that are among the happiest in the world today.

Chain of Ideas: The Origins of Our Authoritarian Age by Ibram X. Kendi What is behind the rise of the authoritarian and xenophobic movements threatening democracies around the globe? The #1 NYT bestselling author of How to Be an Antiracist argues that the answer lies in the great replacement theory - a racist lie that has moved from the margins to the mainstream. What is the great replacement theory? Variations on the theory have existed for centuries, but it was articulated in its current form by French nationalists in the late 20th century who believed that black and brown immigrants were being brought into Europe by nefarious forces to “replace” Europe’s white population. The idea was picked up by white supremacist movements in the US and eventually merged into the mainstream via commentators like Tucker Carlson, who pushed the theory to millions. In their telling, immigration and integration are nothing short of an extinction-level event for white people - and from this fear, a tide of extremist political ideas follow.
