Book excerpt: Three voices. Three acts of defiance. One mass injustice. The story of camp as you’ve never seen it before. Japanese Americans complied when evicted from their homes in World War II -- but many refused to submit to imprisonment in American concentration camps without a fight. In this groundbreaking graphic novel, meet JIM AKUTSU, the inspiration for John Okada’s No-No Boy, who refuses to be drafted from the camp at Minidoka when classified as a non-citizen, an enemy alien; HIROSHI KASHIWAGI, who resists government pressure to sign a loyalty oath at Tule Lake, but yields to family pressure to renounce his U.S. citizenship; and MITSUYE ENDO, a reluctant recruit to a lawsuit contesting her imprisonment, who refuses a chance to leave the camp at Topaz so that her case could reach the U.S. Supreme Court. Based upon painstaking research, We Hereby Refuse presents an original vision of America’s past with disturbing links to the American present.

Book Synopsis Gospel Allegiance by : Matthew W. Bates
Download or read book Gospel Allegiance written by Matthew W. Bates and published by Brazos Press. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is faith in Jesus enough for salvation? Perhaps, says Matthew Bates, but we're missing pieces of the gospel. The biblical gospel can never change. Yet our understanding of the gospel must change. The church needs an allegiance shift. Popular pastoral resources on the gospel are causing widespread confusion. Bates shows that the biblical gospel is different, fuller, and more beautiful than we have been led to believe. He explains that saving faith doesn't come through trust in Jesus's death on the cross alone but through allegiance to Christ the king. There is only one true gospel and one required response: allegiance. Bates ignited conversation with his successful and influential book Salvation by Allegiance Alone. Here he goes deeper while making his acclaimed teaching on salvation more accessible and experiential for believers who want to better understand and share the gospel. Gospel Allegiance includes a guide for further conversation, making it ideal for church groups, pastors, leaders, and students.
Book Synopsis Salvation by Allegiance Alone by : Matthew W. Bates
Download or read book Salvation by Allegiance Alone written by Matthew W. Bates and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are saved by faith when we trust that Jesus died for our sins. This is the gospel, or so we are taught. But what is faith? And does this accurately summarize the gospel? Because faith is frequently misunderstood and the climax of the gospel misidentified, the gospel's full power remains untapped. While offering a fresh proposal for what faith means within a biblical theology of salvation, Matthew Bates presses the church toward a new precision: we are saved solely by allegiance to Jesus the king. Instead of faith alone, Christians must speak about salvation by allegiance alone. The book includes discussion questions for students, pastors, and church groups and a foreword by Scot McKnight.

Book Synopsis The Trials of Allegiance by : Carlton F. W. Larson
Download or read book The Trials of Allegiance written by Carlton F. W. Larson and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Trials of Allegiance examines the law of treason during the American Revolution: a convulsive, violent civil war in which nearly everyone could be considered a traitor, either to Great Britain or to America. Drawing from extensive archival research in Pennsylvania, one of the main centers of the revolution, Carlton Larson provides the most comprehensive analysis yet of the treason prosecutions brought by Americans against British adherents: through committees of safety, military tribunals, and ordinary criminal trials. Although popular rhetoric against traitors was pervasive in Pennsylvania, jurors consistently viewed treason defendants not as incorrigibly evil, but as fellow Americans who had made a political mistake. This book explains the repeated and violently controversial pattern of acquittals. Juries were carefully selected in ways that benefited the defendants, and jurors refused to accept the death penalty as an appropriate punishment for treason. The American Revolution, unlike many others, would not be enforced with the gallows. More broadly, Larson explores how the Revolution's treason trials shaped American national identity and perceptions of national allegiance. He concludes with the adoption of the Treason Clause of the United States Constitution, which was immediately put to use in the early 1790s in response to the Whiskey Rebellion and Fries's Rebellion. In taking a fresh look at these formative events, The Trials of Allegiance reframes how we think about treason in American history, up to and including the present.
Book Synopsis Making Christians by : Denise Kimber Buell
Download or read book Making Christians written by Denise Kimber Buell and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did second-century Christians vie with each other in seeking to produce an authoritative discourse of Christian identity? In this innovative book, Denise Buell argues that many early Christians deployed the metaphors of procreation and kinship in the struggle over claims to represent the truth of Christian interpretation, practice, and doctrine. In particular, she examines the intriguing works of the influential theologian Clement of Alexandria (ca. 150-210 c.e.), for whom cultural assumptions about procreation and kinship played an important role in defining which Christians have the proper authority to teach, and which kinds of knowledge are authentic. Buell argues that metaphors of procreation and kinship can serve to make power differentials appear natural. She shows that early Christian authors recognized this and often turned to such metaphors to mark their own positions as legitimate and marginalize others as false. Attention to the functions of this language offers a way out of the trap of reconstructing the development of early Christianity along the axes of "heresy" and "orthodoxy," while not denying that early Christians employed this binary. Ultimately, Buell argues, strategic use of kinship language encouraged conformity over diversity and had a long lasting effect both on Christian thought and on the historiography of early Christianity. Aperceptive and closely argued contribution to early Christian studies, Making Christians also branches out to the areas of kinship studies and the social construction of gender.

Book Synopsis Mistaken Allegiance by : Srinivasan Raju
Download or read book Mistaken Allegiance written by Srinivasan Raju and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-27 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1990s thousands of Kashmiri pundit families living for generations in Kashmir Valley were uprooted by the insurgents who infiltrated from Pakistan occupied Kashmir. Ironically, their properties were usurped and they were driven out of their own land to other parts of India, such as Jammu, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra, etc. Having been caught in a political maelstrom in their own land and forced to migrate, the Kashmiri pundits strongly resented their refugee status and found living conditions in other cities harsh. Some educated Kashmiri youth failed to get jobs in the cities and towns where they took refuge and were forced to become deviants. Whatever privations they suffered, they had no alternative but to eke out a living in the cities of refuge. The poignant story, which has a strong domestic flavour, mainly focuses on one such deracinated family that settles down in Hyderabad and the challenges and torments faced by the protagonist, Shyam Kumar, the eldest son of his parents. By a freak of fortune, his name was changed to Shoab Akthar and he is inducted into ISIS to join militants in India and cause death and destruction. Being a staunch nationalist and patriot, his allegiance to his country is paramount and he does maximum damage to the network of militants in India. As a result, his personal life is in turmoil because the militants are on the prowl to liquidate him physically. Shyam frustrates their evil designs by exploiting his versatile combative skill. By virtue of profound knowledge and skill acquired by Shyam from the extensive and rigorous training in Iraq and Yemen, the protagonist becomes an expert combatant and proficient at military warfare. He is absorbed as Intelligence Officer in National Investigation Agency by Government of India to pursue the militants and eliminate them. Shyam is not after wealth and fame but wants absolute peace of mind, having experienced the bitterest side of life. His young wife, Kalpana, too is not desirous of accumulating wealth and looks forward to raise a small happy and contented family. The story unfolds a metamorphosis in Shyam's life. Here are some excerpts from the book:"Kalpana saw the two men were outside the van and she looked around for her bag which she found on the floor of van. She quickly took out the pepper spray can and held it tightly in her right hand. It was ominously dark and she was frightened as there was no traffic movement on the road. She suddenly leapt up and sprayed the fume copiously in the eyes of one man and held the other man tightly to his seat and sprayed with full strength in his eyes too, howling, 'You bastards, barbaric scoundrels, both of you deserve death.'""Before they (the militants) neared, they slowed down the bike whose headlight was eerily dim. Kalpana and Shyam ran across and hid behind the bushes without noise. Shyam quietly pulled out the pistol and as the bike inched towards them, he shot them rapidly. The men didn't even have time to get down the bike. The bike veered sharply and ran into the bush. Both of them slumped to the ground and holding his new revolver, Shyam kicked them hard with his right leg. The pistol from one man's right hand flew off. Shyam and Kalpana didn't look back and scurried towards the main road." "As soon as she entered the van, the other sleuth stuffed her mouth with a morphine laced cloth and a moment later she lost consciousness. They hurtled down to a remote, decrepit house on the outskirts of the city. There the lusty young men stripped her, wildly pounced on her, like sex starved dogs, and savagely raped her that caused intense bleeding from her internal genitalia. Namrata, who was not fully conscious, writhed in pain and agony. She moaned, groaned and even wailed. Fearing that they would be caught and arrested, they strangled her with her mustard dupatta. She wore yellow printed salwar kameez. The two rapists abandoned her haphazardly almost naked..."
Book Synopsis Hollywood and the Movies of the Fifties by : Foster Hirsch
Download or read book Hollywood and the Movies of the Fifties written by Foster Hirsch and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating look at Hollywood’s most turbulent decade and the demise of the studio system—set against the boom of the post–World War II years, the Cold War, and the atomic age—and the movies that reflected the seismic shifts Hollywood in the 1950s was a period when the film industry both set conventions and broke norms and traditions—from Cinerama, CinemaScope, and VistaVision to the epic film and lavish musical. It was a decade that saw the rise of the anti-hero; the smoldering, the hidden, and the unspoken; teenagers gone wild in the streets; the sacred and the profane; the revolution of the Method; the socially conscious; the implosion of the studios; the end of the production code; and the invasion of the ultimate body snatcher: the “small screen” television. Here is Eisenhower’s America—seemingly complacent, conformity-ridden revealed in Vincente Minnelli’s Father of the Bride, Walt Disney’s Cinderella, and Brigadoon, among others. And here is its darkening, resonant landscape, beset by conflict, discontent, and anxiety (The Man Who Knew Too Much, The Asphalt Jungle, A Place in the Sun, Touch of Evil, It Came From Outer Space) . . . an America on the verge of cultural, political and sexual revolt, busting up and breaking out (East of Eden, From Here to Eternity, On the Waterfront, Sweet Smell of Success, The Wild One, A Streetcar Named Desire, and Jailhouse Rock). An important, riveting look at our nation at its peak as a world power and at the political, cultural, sexual upheavals it endured, reflected and explored in the quintessential American art form.
Book Synopsis Good Knowledge, Bad Knowledge by : Stephen Hetherington
Download or read book Good Knowledge, Bad Knowledge written by Stephen Hetherington and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 2001-10-18 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is knowledge? How hard is it for a person to have knowledge? Good Knowledge, Bad Knowledge confronts contemporary philosophical attempts to answer those classic questions, by identifying and arguing against two fundamental epistemological presumptions. Can there be both better and worse knowledge of some fact? Can you improve your knowledge of a particular fact? Can there be especially bad knowledge of a specific fact? Epistemologists routinely answer these questions with a resounding 'No'. But Stephen Hetherington argues that those standard answers are mistaken. The result is a theory of knowledge that is unique in conceiving of knowledge in a non-absolutist way. The theory offers new solutions to many traditional epistemological puzzles, including various kinds of scepticism, the Gettier challenge, and the problem of the criterion. It also offers a fresh way of using G. E. Moore's anti-sceptical gambit, along with reinterpretations of the epistemic roles of fallibility, luck, relevance, and dogmatism. And what can we know about knowledge? The role of intuition in shaping epistemological thought about knowledge is critically examined. Anyone working on epistemology will enjoy this original and challenging work.
Book Synopsis My Shadow Is My Skin by : Katherine Whitney
Download or read book My Shadow Is My Skin written by Katherine Whitney and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2020-03-16 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Iranian revolution of 1979 launched a vast, global diaspora, with many Iranians establishing new lives in the United States. In the four decades since, the diaspora has expanded to include not only those who emigrated immediately after the revolution but also their American-born children, more recent immigrants, and people who married into Iranian families, all of whom carry their own stories of trauma, triumph, adversity, and belonging that reflect varied and nuanced perspectives on what it means to be Iranian or Iranian American. The essays in My Shadow Is My Skin are these stories. This collection brings together thirty-two authors, both established and emerging, whose writing captures the diversity of diasporic experiences. Reflecting on the Iranian American experience over the past forty years and shedding new light on themes of identity, duality, and alienation in twenty-first-century America, the authors present personal narratives of immigration, sexuality, marginalization, marriage, and religion that offer an antidote to the news media’s often superficial portrayals of Iran and the people who have a connection to it. My Shadow Is My Skin pulls back the curtain on a community that rarely gets to tell its own story.
