Book Synopsis Gates of Freedom by : Eugenia C. DeLamotte
Download or read book Gates of Freedom written by Eugenia C. DeLamotte and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2010-02-11 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The time is surely right to draw attention to Voltairine de Cleyre, one of the most uncompromisingly revolutionary of all American women writers . . . [Gates of Freedom] gives a fine selection of de Cleyre's work, while articulating it to contemporary critical and cultural concerns . . . . The book's organization, its tendency to tackle the most difficult issues head on, and its careful selection of published and unpublished work are all superb." ---Cary Nelson, University of Illinois "The question of souls is old; we demand our bodies, now." These words are not from a feminist manifesto of the late twentieth century, but from a fiery speech given a hundred years earlier by Voltairine de Cleyre, a leading anarchist and radical thinker. A contemporary of Emma Goldman---who called her "the most gifted and brilliant anarchist woman America ever produced"---de Cleyre was a significant force in a major social movement that sought to transform American society and culture at its root. But she belongs to a group of late-nineteenth-century freethinkers, anarchists, and sex-radicals whose writing continues to be excluded from the U.S. literary and historical canon. Gates of Freedom considers de Cleyre's speeches, letters, and essays, including her most well known essay, "Sex Slavery." Part I brings current critical concerns to bear on de Cleyre's writings, exploring her contributions to the anarchist movement, her analyses of justice and violence, and her views on women, sexuality, and the body. Eugenia DeLamotte demonstrates both de Cleyre's literary significance and the importance of her work to feminist theory, women's studies, literary and cultural studies, U.S. history, and contemporary social and cultural analysis. Part II presents a thematically organized selection of de Cleyre's stirring writings, making Gates of Freedom appealing to scholars, students, and anyone interested in Voltairine de Cleyre's fascinating life and rousing work.

Download or read book Tibet written by Lezlee Brown Halper and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tibet's enduring myth, animated by the tales of Himalayan adventurers, British military expeditions, and the novel, Lost Horizon, remains an inspirational fantasy, a modern morality play about the failure of brutality to subdue the human spirit. Tibet also exercises immense "soft power" as one of the lenses through which the world views China. This book traces the origins and manifestations of the Tibetan myth, as propagated by Younghusband, Madam Blavatsky, Himmler, Acheson and Roosevelt. The authors discuss how, after WW2, Tibet-- isolated, misunderstood and with a tiny elite unschooled in political-military realities --- misread the diplomacy between its two giant neighbours, India and China, forlornly hoping London or Washington might intervene. China's People's Liberation Army sought nothing less than to deconstruct traditional Tibet, unseat the Dalai Lama and "absorb" this vast region into the People's Republic, and Lhasa succumbed to China's invasion in 1950. Drawing on declassified CIA and Chinese documents, the authors reveal Mao's collusion with Stalin to subdue Tibet, double-dealing by Nehru, the brilliant diplomacy of Chou en Lai and how Washington see-sawed between the China lobby, who insisted there be no backing for an independent Tibet, and Presidents Truman and later Eisenhower, who initiated a covert CIA programme to support the Dalai Lama and resist Chinese occupation. It is an ignoble saga with few, if any, heroes, other than ordinary Tibetans.
Book Synopsis When Oceans Roar by : Ernest F Crocker
Download or read book When Oceans Roar written by Ernest F Crocker and published by Authentic Media Inc. This book was released on 2016-10-07 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Oceans Roar tells the remarkable stories of people who heard the still small voice of God, and saw God do amazing things when they took God at his word and surrendered themselves to him. The stories told in this book represent roads that few people would have chosen. Yet having said 'yes' to God, and taken the first step, each one was strengthened, empowered and equipped for the journey ahead. It includes the story of a couple who prayed over their child who had no heart beat for three days in the sure knowledge that God would meet them at their point of need, and of a Bangladeshi freedom fighter taken before a firing squad only to learn that God had a plan for his life. This is a book that will challenge you to find your true identity, and having done so to step out of complacency and take risks in the sure knowledge that God will never leave you or forsake you as you surrender yourself to him. Be inspired to listen out for the still small voice of God above the ocean's roar.
Download or read book Journeys East written by Harry Oldmeadow and published by World Wisdom, Inc. This book was released on 2004 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to treat the impact of religious, philosophical and psychological traditions of the East on Western intellectuals, artists, travellers and spiritual seekers in the twentieth century. Addressed to both general readers and scholars of religion, it is especially valuable for its penetrating and inter-religious analysis of two of the most compelling themes now facing the world: the emergence of cross-cultural religious understanding of the natural order and ecological crisis and the metaphysical basis for both the formal diversity and essential unity of religious traditions of both East and West. The West has long romanticized the "mysterious" East, but it has, also, judged its traditions as "uncivilized." Our notions about Eastern spirituality have been formed by a succession of travellers, scientists, artists, intellectuals, poets, philosophers and missionaries, as well as by Eastern travellers who have spent time in the West. This book helps us to recognize the influence of Eastern ideas upon modern Western thought by tracing the history of engagements between East and West up until the present day. It concludes with a section that helps us to perceive the timeless value of the many Eastern contributions to the West's current intellectual and spiritual state.
Download or read book The Way I see It written by Henry Field and published by M-Y Books Limited. This book was released on 2012-08-08 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is meant to challenge, is often controversial, even something of a whistleblower and, being radical, does not settle for the status quo as I speak out against these terrible times we live in. It is about dealing with life and death with all that that means in joy and heartache and the realities of such with both the physical and spiritual supernatural sides of life, something of how they interact in good versus evil, right and wrong also the intense and desperate warfare we are locked into here on Planet Earth and the Divine judgement we are under. Where each of us stands regarding these matters is of paramount importance as it affects life now and life's other side. From 1961 after experiencing some 'hell on earth' in my earlier years I was determined to search, seek, sift, ask questions and find the meaning of life and by 1968 I found LIFE in my Maker, Father God, through His Messiah Son and got the big picture and I became radical in my living for Him within the framework of His wonderful, powerful love that He gives to us. It is all about the Truth and the Truth alone will set us free. The book consists of three parts: my autobiography; tying it in with the condition of the world, the church and so on; and further information of varied interest including my late father's survival from the troopship, Lancastria, in the world's worst single maritime disaster in June 1940.
Book Synopsis A Commentary on JEREMIAH by : David Pawson
Download or read book A Commentary on JEREMIAH written by David Pawson and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2018-11-02 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeremiah was God’s man for a nation declining from having been one of the first powers to being a very third-rate power, a nation losing its empire, losing its territory, a nation getting involved in all sorts of relationships with other nations to try to survive by joining larger power units, a nation that was doing exactly what ours is doing, and that was becoming weak in its external and political relationships because it was becoming weak morally and spiritually inside. As we go through this prophecy you will think you are reading the Sunday newspapers. It is a most relevant part of God’s Word. People used to bring me newspaper cuttings during our studies of Jeremiah. They were taking the Word of God, then picking up their newspaper the next morning and relating God’s eternal Word with man’s word. It becomes possible to see how it all fits.

Book Synopsis Pathway to Freedom by : Alistair Begg
Download or read book Pathway to Freedom written by Alistair Begg and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2015-02-23 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God’s code of conduct is as relevant and insistent today as it’s always been. The landscape of contemporary society reveals that we neither know nor care much about the Law of God. There is: A general lawlessness in the lives of professing Christians. An absence of the fear of God in public worship and private living. A growing confidence in ourselves and doubt concerning God and His Word. Amidst this moral crisis, the message of the Ten Commandments can give us order, direction, and hope. With dynamic implications for how each of us lives every day, Pathway to Freedom will challenge you to think long and hard about the significance of God’s Law. “We have entered into a time of moral crisis in our culture and in the church as well. Stories about divorce, adultery, and the individualized picking and choosing of doctrines abound. Pathway to Freedom is forthright and necessary teaching that today’s church cannot afford to ignore. How now shall we live? The beginning of the answer must be in obedience to God’s moral law summarized in the Ten Commandments.” —CHARLES COLSON, PRISON FELLOWSHIP MINISTRIES, WASHINGTON, D.C.
