Book Synopsis Apostles of Revolution by : John Ferling
Download or read book Apostles of Revolution written by John Ferling and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From acclaimed historian John Ferling, the story of Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, and James Monroe's involvement in the American and French Revolutions and their quest for sweeping change in both America and Europe. Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, and James Monroe hazarded all in quest of revolutions. As founding fathers, they risked their lives and their liberty for American independence, and as reformers, each rejoiced at the opportunity to be part of the French Revolution, praying that it in turn would inspire others to sweep away Europe's monarchies and titled nobilities. For these three men, real revolution would lead to substantive political and social alterations and an escape from royal and aristocratic rule. But as the eighteenth century unfolded, these three separated onto different routes to revolution-two became soldiers, two became writers, and two became statesmen-and their united cause but divided means reshaped their country and the Western world. Apostles of Revolution spans a crucial time in Western Civilization. The era ranged from the American insurgency against Great Britain to the Declaration of Independence, from desperate engagements on American battlefields to the bloody Terror in France. It culminates with the tumultuous election of 1800, the outcome of which – according to Jefferson – saved the American Revolution. Written as a sweeping narrative of a turbulent and pivotal era, Apostles of the Revolution captures the spirit of our founding fathers and the history of America and Europe's great turning point.
Book Synopsis Apostles and Agitators by : Richard Drake
Download or read book Apostles and Agitators written by Richard Drake and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2003-07-28 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most controversial questions in Italy today concerns the origins of the political terror that ravaged the country from 1969 to 1984, when the Red Brigades, a Marxist revolutionary organization, intimidated, maimed, and murdered on a wide scale. In this timely study of the ways in which an ideology of terror becomes rooted in society, Richard Drake explains the historical character of the revolutionary tradition to which so many ordinary Italians professed allegiance, examining its origins and internal tensions, the men who shaped it, and its impact and legacy in Italy. He illuminates the defining figures who grounded the revolutionary tradition, including Carlo Cafiero, Antonio Labriola, Benito Mussolini, and Antonio Gramsci, and explores the connections between the social disasters of Italy, particularly in the south, and the country's intellectual politics; the brand of "anarchist communism" that surfaced; and the role of violence in the ideology. Though arising from a legitimate sense of moral outrage at desperate conditions, the ideology failed to find the political institutions and ethical values that would end inequalities created by capitalism. In a chilling coda, Drake recounts the recent murders of the economists Massimo D'Antona and Marco Biagi by the new Red Brigades, whose Internet justification for the killings is steeped in the Marxist revolutionary tradition.

Download or read book Apostles of Revolution written by John Ferling and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From acclaimed historian John Ferling, the story of how Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, and James Monroe championed the most radical ideas of the American and French Revolutions. Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, and James Monroe were in the vanguard of revolutionary ideas in the 18th century. As founding fathers, they risked their lives for American independence, but they also wanted more. Each wished for profound changes in the political and social fabric of pre-1776 America and hoped that the American Revolution would spark republican and egalitarian revolutions throughout Europe, sweeping away the old monarchical order. Ultimately, each rejoiced at the opportunity to be a part of the French Revolution, a cause that became untenable as idealism gave way to the bloody Terror. Apostles of Revolution spans a crucial period in Western Civilization ranging from the American insurgency against Great Britain to the Declaration of Independence, from desperate engagements on American battlefields to the threat posed to the ideals of the Revolution by the Federalist Party. With the French Revolution devolving into anarchy in the background, the era culminates with the “Revolution of 1800,” Jefferson's election as president. Written as a sweeping narrative of a pivotal epoch, Apostles of Revolution captures the turbulent spirit of the times and the personal dangers experienced by Jefferson, Paine, and Monroe. It reminds us that the liberty we take for granted is ours only because we, both champions and common citizens, have fought for it.

Book excerpt: The first biographical account of the life of James Gillespie Birney in more than fifty years, this fabulously insightful history illuminates and elevates an all-but-forgotten figure whose political career contributed mightily to the American political fabric. Birney was a southern-born politician at the heart of the antislavery movement, with two southern-born sons who were major generals involved in key Union Army activities, including the leadership of the black troops.

Book Synopsis Apostles of Disunion by : Charles B. Dew
Download or read book Apostles of Disunion written by Charles B. Dew and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2017-02-03 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Dew’s Apostles of Disunion has established itself as a modern classic and an indispensable account of the Southern states’ secession from the Union. Addressing topics still hotly debated among historians and the public at large more than a century and a half after the Civil War, the book offers a compelling and clearly substantiated argument that slavery and race were at the heart of our great national crisis. The fifteen years since the original publication of Apostles of Disunion have seen an intensification of debates surrounding the Confederate flag and Civil War monuments. In a powerful new afterword to this anniversary edition, Dew situates the book in relation to these recent controversies and factors in the role of vast financial interests tied to the internal slave trade in pushing Virginia and other upper South states toward secession and war.
Book Synopsis Apostles of Change by : Felipe Hinojosa
Download or read book Apostles of Change written by Felipe Hinojosa and published by Univ of TX + ORM. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “important and well-researched” study of 1960s urban Latino activism and religion is “brimming with the ideas and voices of . . . Latinx activists” (Llana Barber, author of Latino City). In the late 1960s, American cities found themselves in steep decline, with poor and working-class families hit the hardest. Many urban religious institutions debated whether to move to the suburbs. Against the backdrop of the Black and Brown Power movements, which challenged economic inequality and white supremacy, young Latino radicals began occupying churches and disrupting services to compel church communities to join their protests against urban renewal, poverty, police brutality, and racism. Apostles of Change tells the story of these occupations and establishes their context within the urban crisis. It underscores the tensions they created and the activists’ bold, new vision for the church and the world. Through case studies from Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and Houston, Felipe Hinojosa reveals how Latino freedom movements crossed the boundaries of faith and politics. He argues that understanding these radical politics is essential to understanding the dynamic changes in Latino religious groups from the late 1960s to the early 1980s.
Book Synopsis Apostle of Progress by : J. Justin Castro
Download or read book Apostle of Progress written by J. Justin Castro and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2019 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the late nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth century, Mexico experienced major transformations influenced by a global progressive movement that thrived during the Mexican Revolution and influenced Mexico's development during subsequent governments. Engineers and other revolutionary technocrats were the system builders who drew up the blueprints, printed newspapers, implemented reforms, and constructed complexity--people who built modern Mexico with an eye on remedying long-standing problems through social, material, and infrastructural development during a period of revolutionary change. In Apostle of Progress J. Justin Castro examines the life of Modesto C. Rolland, a revolutionary propagandist and a prominent figure in the development of Mexico, to gain a better understanding of the role engineers played in creating revolution-era policies and the reconstruction of the Mexican nation. Rolland influenced Mexican land reform, petroleum development, stadium construction, port advancements, radio broadcasting, and experiments in political economy. In the telling of Rolland's story, Castro offers a captivating account of the Mexican Revolution and the influence of global progressivism on the development of twentieth-century Mexico.

Book Synopsis Apostolic Revolution by : Kluane Spake
Download or read book Apostolic Revolution written by Kluane Spake and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-10 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: APOSTOLIC CULTURE by Dr. Kluane Spake "How Your God-Given Assignment Can Influence and Change Culture" This book is about character and qualities concerning who an apostle is and what they do. APOSTOLIC CULTURE is the shared characteristics and knowledge that is unique to the group of functioning apostles, including their language, traditions, character, beliefs, behaviors, interactions, experiences, and social skills. We need to be able to know the characteristics that the real apostles have in common. These days, we only need the "real deal!" Jesus knew about appointing apostles before He came to earth! These men were pre-ordained to be the ones who would walk with Him. Their message that changed the world, was ONLY ABOUT HIM. Jesus didn't appoint pastors or prophets, He only commissioned apostles! His concern was to raise up apostles. Because of that, we discover that those in apostolic ministry were the ones who received all authority and instruction from Him - our King-Priest-Chief Apostle-Prophet. Since Christ's ascension into heaven, it has been the task of the Apostles and apostolic leaders to cause this glorious salvation to be made known and accessible to all humanity. The salvation that Jesus brought forth was imparted on earth (see 9.6.3) by the apostles and disciples He trained. Being an apostle means a to be an ambassador -- a person sent to represent another, like an emissary. Apostles are sent to represent the Lord and to build His vision and mission for the believer and the Kingdom. Not only that... but because we are empowered, today's apostles should be moving ahead faster and better than ever before. It is time to take-off like a missile shot into the unknown spheres that are awaiting you - Into those places, "No man has ever seen before." "Culture is, first of all, the name for our relentless, restless human effort to take the world as it's given to us and make something else." Andy Crouch Not everyone is an apostle, but everyone can think apostolically.
Book Synopsis American Apostles by : Christine Leigh Heyrman
Download or read book American Apostles written by Christine Leigh Heyrman and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2015-09 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surprising tale of the first American Protestant missionaries to proselytize in the Muslim world On November 3, 1819, Pliny Fisk and Levi Parsons embarked from Boston on the first American mission to the Middle East. A year later they were joined by their friend Jonas King. Poor boys reared on hardscrabble New England farms and steeped in evangelical piety, they imagined themselves martyrs to the cause of converting the world. So too did their large and devoted following in the United States. Christine Leigh Heyrman's American Apostles brilliantly chronicles the first collision between American evangelicalism and the diverse religious cultures of the Levant. The founding members of the "Palestine mission" thrilled readers with tales of crossing the Sinai and exploring Cairo and Jerusalem. But their missions did not go according to plan. The Muslims of the Middle East showed no interest in converting. Instead of saving souls, the New Englanders found themselves engaging scholars in theological debate, marveling at the local folkways, and pursuing an elusive Bostonian convert to Islam. From the start, the American encounter with Islam was an unstable mix of crusading vigor and cosmopolitan curiosity. In the end, Heyrman argues that the failure of the foreign missions movement bolstered a more militant Christianity that became America's unofficial creed. The missionaries did not convert Muslims but they did transform themselves--with political and religious legacies that last to this day.
Book Synopsis Apostles of Modernity by : Osama Abi-Mershed
Download or read book Apostles of Modernity written by Osama Abi-Mershed and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2010-05-10 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1830 and 1870, French army officers serving in the colonial Offices of Arab Affairs profoundly altered the course of political decision-making in Algeria. Guided by the modernizing ideologies of the Saint-Simonian school in their development and implementation of colonial policy, the officers articulated a new doctrine and framework for governing the Muslim and European populations of Algeria. Apostles of Modernity shows the evolution of this civilizing mission in Algeria, and illustrates how these 40 years were decisive in shaping the principal ideological tenets in French colonization of the region. This book offers a rethinking of 19th-century French colonial history. It reveals not only what the rise of Europe implied for the cultural identities of non-elite Middle Easterners and North Africans, but also what dynamics were involved in the imposition or local adoptions of European cultural norms and how the colonial encounter impacted the cultural identities of the colonizers themselves.
