Download or read book Thicker Than Water written by Melissa Meyer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blood is more than a fluid solution of cells, platelets and plasma. It is a symbol for the most basic of human concerns--life, death and family find expression in rituals surrounding everything from menstruation to human sacrifice. Comprehensive in its scope and provocative in its argument, this book examines beliefs and rituals concerning blood in a range of regional and religious contexts throughout human history. Meyer reveals the origins of a wide range of blood rituals, from the earliest surviving human symbolism of fertility and the hunt, to the Jewish bris, and the clitoridectomies given to young girls in parts of Africa. The book also explores how cultural practices influence gene selection and makes a connection with the natural sciences by exploring how color perception influences the human proclivity to create blood symbols and rituals.

Book excerpt: In the first essay, Patterson analyzes the very latest survey data to delineate the different attitudes, behaviors, and circumstances of Afro-American men and women, dissecting both the external and internal causes for the great disparities he finds.In the second essay, Patterson focuses on the lynching of Afro-American boys and men during the decades after Reconstruction, particularly on the substantial number of cases that constituted apparent ritual human sacrifice. As no one has done before, Patterson reveals how the complex interplay between Christian sacrificial symbolism and the deep recesses of post-bellum Southern culture resulted in some of the most shameful, barbaric events in American history.The third essay brings us into the late twentieth century, with an investigation of the various images of Afro-American men portrayed by the media. From the demigod (Michael Jordan) to the demon (Colin Ferguson) to the demigod-turned-demon (O. J. Simpson) and the crossers of racial and gender boundaries (Michael Jackson and Dennis Rodman)—all contribute to the cultural complications of our contemporary society.Rituals of Blood advances Patterson's new model of ethnic relations that opens American society to a new and freer dialogue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the Enlightenment had seemed to bring an end to the widely held belief that Jews murdered Christian children for ritual purposes, charges of the so-called blood libel were surprisingly widespread in central and eastern Europe on either side of the turn to the twentieth century. Well over one hundred accusations were made against Jews in this period, and prosecutors and government officials in Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Russia broke with long established precedent to bring six of these cases forward in sensational public trials. In Blood Inscriptions Hillel J. Kieval examines four cases—the prosecutions that took place at Tiszaeszlár in Hungary (1882-83), Xanten in Germany (1891-92), Polná in Austrian Bohemia (1899-1900), and Konitz, then Germany, now in Poland (1900-1902)—to consider the means by which discredited beliefs came to seem once again plausible. Kieval explores how educated elites took up the accusations of Jewish ritual murder and considers the roles played by government bureaucracies, the journalistic establishment, forensic medicine, and advanced legal practices in structuring the investigations and trials. The prosecutors, judges, forensic scientists, criminologists, and academic scholars of Judaism and other expert witnesses all worked hard to establish their epistemological authority as rationalists, Kieval contends. Far from being a throwback to the Middle Ages, these ritual murder trials were in all respects a product of post-Enlightenment politics and culture. Harnessed to and disciplined by the rhetoric of modernity, they were able to proceed precisely because they were framed by the idioms of scientific discourse and rationality.

Download or read book Blood Libel written by Hannah Johnson and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2021-03-11 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ritual murder accusation is one of a series of myths that fall under the label blood libel, and describes the medieval legend that Jews require Christian blood for obscure religious purposes and are capable of committing murder to obtain it. This malicious myth continues to have an explosive afterlife in the public sphere, where Sarah Palin's 2011 gaffe is only the latest reminder of its power to excite controversy. Blood Libel is the first book-length study to analyze the recent historiography of the ritual murder accusation and to consider these debates in the context of intellectual and cultural history as well as methodology. Hannah R. Johnson articulates how ethics shapes methodological decisions in the study of the accusation and how questions about methodology, in turn, pose ethical problems of interpretation and understanding. Examining recent debates over the scholarship of historians such as Gavin Langmuir, Israel Yuval, and Ariel Toaff, Johnson argues that these discussions highlight an ongoing paradigm shift that seeks to reimagine questions of responsibility by deliberately refraining from a discourse of moral judgment and blame in favor of an emphasis on historical contingencies and hostile intergroup dynamics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Pogroms and blood libels constitute the two classical and most extreme manifestations of tsarist antisemitism. They were often closely intertwined in history and memory, not least because the accusation of blood libel, the allegation that Jews murder Christian children to use their blood for ritual purposes, frequently triggered anti-Jewish violence. Such events were and are considered central to the Jewish experience in late tsarist Russia, the only country on earth with large scale anti-Jewish violence in the early twentieth century. Boasting its break from the tsarist period, the Soviet regime proudly claimed to have eradicated these forms of antisemitism. But, alas, life was much more complicated. The phenomenon and the memory of pogroms and blood libels in different areas of interwar Soviet Union-including Ukraine, Belorussia, Russia and Central Asia-as well as, after World War II, in the newly annexed territories of Lithuania, Western Ukraine and Western Belorussia are a reminder of continuities in the midst of revolutionary ruptures. The persistence, the permutation, and the responses to anti-Jewish violence and memories of violence suggest that Soviet Jews (and non-Jews alike) cohabited with a legacy of blood that did not vanish. This book traces the "afterlife" of these extreme manifestations of antisemitism in the USSR, and in doing so sheds light on the broader question of the changing position of Jews in Soviet society. One notable rupture in manifestations of antisemitism from tsarist to Soviet times included the virtual disappearance-at least during the interwar period-of the tight link between pogroms and blood allegations, indeed a common feature in the waves of anti-Jewish violence that erupted during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries." --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “riveting history . . . brings us face to face with this notorious trial” of a Russian Jew who was framed for ritual murder in 1913 (Jewish Book World). On Sunday, March 20, 1911, children playing in a cave near Kiev made a gruesome discovery: the blood-soaked body of a partially clad boy. After right-wing groups asserted that the killing was a ritual murder, the police, with no direct evidence, arrested Menachem Mendel Beilis, a thirty-nine-year-old Jewish manager at a factory near the site of the crime. Beilis’s trial in 1913 quickly became an international cause célèbre. The jury ultimately acquitted Beilis but held that the crime had the hallmarks of a ritual murder. Robert Weinberg’s account of the Beilis Affair explores the reasons why the tsarist government framed Beilis, shedding light on the excesses of antisemitism in late Imperial Russia. It is a gripping narrative culled from trial transcripts, newspaper articles, Beilis’s memoirs, and archival sources, many appearing in English for the first time.

Book excerpt: "Like Stephen King, you can tell one hell of a story! By far the scariest book I've read. You Sir are a genius!!!! Hooked on this book!" "I couldn't put it down. What a trip through madness, perversion, and Hell! If you ever wondered about the downward spiral drugs, alcohol, and demons (real or imagined) can take a person, this book tells it all. Graphic, compelling, dangerous." "Speechless...Indeed. Such crisp blatant honesty! Straight up intensity that leaves one shaking from the inside out. There is no 'story telling' contained between its covers, only truth. Descriptive, informative, courageous. If it's fiction you seek, you won't find it here..." "Amazing read! His brutal honesty and direct wording are mind-blowingly admirable. Very well written, and so engaging you'll feel you're there with him, and forget the world around you." This is every demon's dream; it's the perfect possession. What happens to a 23 year old man who builds a conjuring mirror from an ancient Grimoire called the Goetia or Lesser Key of Solomon? Blood Ritual Monarch spent 20 years being ravaged by the demonic forces he sought to meet and control. After almost a decade of horrifying blackouts that can only be described as possession, he began finding notes written to himself. These notes led Blood Ritual Monarch on a journey that would take him into the shadowy world of high-tech black magic; to a haunted old radar tower at the tip of Long Island, NY. Along the way, BRM's demonic blackouts would intensify and magnetize women who cajoled him into blood-sex magic which fed voracious entities on the astral plane. These rituals opened gateways fueling poltergeist intrusions which put his sanity and life in grave danger. A very brief period of stability allowed him to plan his long-overdue trip to the place where he may have been experimented on as a child. What allegedly happened there over three decades earlier might have turned him into a 'walking demon' and psychic assassin through the process of layering entities into his auric field. This trip created a psychic maelstrom which led to more chaos and self-destructive behavior. Through a chance introduction online, Blood Ritual Monarch met a woman on the other side of the planet. Five months later he boarded a plane to the Southern Hemisphere; still accosted by malevolent spirits right up until the morning of his departure. Did the demons follow him? "Consider my mind officially BLOWN - jaw dropping. My mind is blown wide open --- there's no going back now! I'm still in shock I think. Hands down the most intense disturbing, sad and exciting story that sucks the soul right out of your body, can't wait to read what's next." "OUTSTANDING. As someone who is generally restless and looses interest in almost anything at all very quickly without extreme deep intensity, positive or negative, I am truly impressed and mystified by the pull and subsequent hold this book had and has over me." "A very, very awesome book. Having heard about this from a friend I wasn't sure what to expect when I started to read it. What I found was a very interesting (and sometimes disturbing) descent into demon summoning, possession, mind control, sex magic and madness. I really liked how easy it was to get into and how it had a nice flow to it. Even if you don't believe in the subject matter, it's explained in a way that is easy to understand." Are you curious about the paranormal? Into horror movies? A witch and/or psychic? Do you study conspiracies and/or mind control? If you've answered yes to any of these questions then this story is for you.
