Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines relations between U.S. Protestants and Africa since the end of colonial rule. It draws attention to shifting ecclesiastical and socio-political priorities, especially the decreased momentum of social justice advocacy and the growing missionary influence of churches emphasizing spiritual revival and personal prosperity. The book provides a thought-provoking assessment of U.S. Protestant involvements with Africa, and it proposes forms of engagement that build upon ecclesiastical dynamism within American and African contexts.

Book Synopsis The Distant Shores of Freedom by : Subarno Chattarji
Download or read book The Distant Shores of Freedom written by Subarno Chattarji and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-18 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Distant Shores of Freedom analyses literary works in English written by Vietnamese refugees in the US. Fiction and memoirs by Vietnamese Americans recover stories and memories that are often different from mainstream American ones and that difference enables readers to think of the US war in Vietnam from perspectives that are missing in mainstream representations. Dwelling not only on the war and its aftermaths, Vietnamese American writings also ponder over the existential issues of exile; the idea of home; the pain of marginality and racism; the question of community formation within the US; and the complexity of diasporic lives. Subarno Chattarji raises critical questions such as who gets to speak and write, and to what ends and purposes? Who reads Vietnamese American writings and how can we account for these publications in the US over a period of time? What can and cannot be written or spoken? What is remembered and what is silenced? What traumas and memories are articulated? These questions point towards a larger context of diaspora studies as well as 'the rituals of cultural memory' that complicate our understanding of the Vietnam War and its aftermaths.

Book Synopsis The Distant Whisper by : Kenneth C. Cancellara
Download or read book The Distant Whisper written by Kenneth C. Cancellara and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-01-23 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “ In his first novel, Finding Marco, author Ken Cancellara describes how, after years of corporate activity, the novel’s protagonist (Mark Gentile) has a personal “awakening” in realizing that his ambition for material success has overshadowed his need for happiness and a life of ethics and morality. Sun-drenched memories of life as it once was in Gentile’s hometown of Acerenza, Italy call him back to reconnect with his roots and with the simple life he had left behind a half century earlier. In Acerenza, Gentile took the lessons given to him, as a child, by his grandfather that what matters in life is ethical behaviour without expecting anything in return. In his poetic and eloquent sequel , “The Distant Whisper”, the author continues to quell the turbulence in his soul caused by the continuing struggle between the two competing forces of raw ambition and the need for a life framed by morality. He takes the reader through an odyssey of beautiful descriptions of the Italian countryside in the Amalfi coast and of the Southern Italians who inhabit that beautiful corner of the world. While continuing to bask in this indescribable beauty, the protagonist is being slowly pulled back by a “distant whisper” to the corporate life he had left behind in North America to pull the corporation he had left behind back from the brink. Cancellara’s recounting of the corporate manoeuvres to save the company could only have been described so realistically by a person who had had hands-on experience as a business attorney and as an executive for many years. But will Mark Gentile’s soul finally find peace in the end? Will he return permanently to his place a birth—the place where he had his epiphany or remain in his adopted homeland of Canada? The novel’s running theme is finding a balance between societally-imposed ambitions and a more reflective way of life. It is the internal struggle that society will be facing more as our younger generations become disillusioned with the pressures of maintaining career obligations and our aging populations as they enter the more mature and reflective periods in their lives.
Book Synopsis "Ravanisation": The Revitalisation of Ravana among Sinhalese Buddhists in Post-War Sri Lanka by : Deborah de Koning
Download or read book "Ravanisation": The Revitalisation of Ravana among Sinhalese Buddhists in Post-War Sri Lanka written by Deborah de Koning and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses Ravanisation: the revitalisation of Ravana among Sinhalese Buddhists in post-war (after 2009) Sri Lanka. The Hindu Ramayana generally portrays Ravana as a cruel king. How and why, then, has Ravana gained the interest of Sinhalese Buddhists? This study takes an ethnographic perspective to answer these questions. The book discusses multiple Ravana representations that have emerged at an urban Buddhist site (the Sri Devram Maha Viharaya) and a rural site (Lakegala), and discloses how Ravanisation relates to Sinhalese Buddhist ethno-nationalism. In addition, the material, ritual, and spatial perspectives offer unique insights in the personal and local relevance of Ravana.
