Book Synopsis Race and Redemption in Puritan New England by : Richard A. Bailey
Download or read book Race and Redemption in Puritan New England written by Richard A. Bailey and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As colonists made their way to New England in the early seventeenth century, they hoped their efforts would stand as a "citty upon a hill." Living the godly life preached by John Winthrop would have proved difficult even had these puritans inhabited the colonies alone, but this was not the case: this new landscape included colonists from Europe, indigenous Americans, and enslaved Africans. In Race and Redemption in Puritan New England, Richard A. Bailey investigates the ways that colonial New Englanders used, constructed, and re-constructed their puritanism to make sense of their new realities. As they did so, they created more than a tenuous existence together. They also constructed race out of the spiritual freedom of puritanism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Chosen Ones, sociologist and feminist scholar Nikki Jones shares the compelling story of a group of Black men living in San Francisco’s historically Black neighborhood, the Fillmore. Against all odds, these men work to atone for past crimes by reaching out to other Black men, young and old, with the hope of guiding them toward a better life. Yet despite their genuine efforts, they struggle to find a new place in their old neighborhood. With a poignant yet hopeful voice, Jones illustrates how neighborhood politics, everyday interactions with the police, and conservative Black gender ideologies shape the men’s ability to make good and forgive themselves—and how the double-edged sword of community shapes the work of redemption.

Book Synopsis Doubt, Scholarship and Society in 17th-Century Central Sudanic Africa by : Dorrit van Dalen
Download or read book Doubt, Scholarship and Society in 17th-Century Central Sudanic Africa written by Dorrit van Dalen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-07-11 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventeenth century was a period of major social change in central sudanic Africa. Islam spread from royal courts to rural communities, leading to new identities, new boundaries and new tasks for experts of the religion. Addressing these issues, the Bornu scholar Muḥammad al-Wālī acquired an exceptional reputation. Dorrit van Dalen’s study places him within his intellectual environment, and portrays him as responding to the concerns of ordinary Muslims. It shows that scholars on the geographical margins of the Muslim world participated in the debates in the centres of Muslim learning of the time, but on their own terms. Al-Wālī’s work also sheds light on a century in the Islamic history of West Africa that has until now received little attention.

Book Synopsis What Ails France? by : Brigitte Granville
Download or read book What Ails France? written by Brigitte Granville and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2021-04-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As evidenced by the yellow vests protest movement that began in France in 2018, the state of the French nation inspires gloom among many of its citizens. Brigitte Granville views this malaise as a peculiarly French symptom of the difficulties experienced by many advanced industrial democracies in the face of globalization, technology, and mass immigration. Granville brings trenchant criticism to bear in this wide-ranging survey of the political economy of contemporary France, building her case for the prosecution on the self-reinforcing rigidity produced by a narrow Parisian oligarchy that is both entitled and intellectually hidebound. What Ails France? applies an economist's vision to the monetary and fiscal pathologies flowing from this ideologically motivated technocratic rule, reflected in Europe's flawed monetary union, runaway indebtedness, and chronically high structural unemployment. The author marshals academic research from a wide range of disciplines to fuel a provocative and at times contentious analysis, proposing various treatments for French ailments that would reinvigorate the republican value of liberté with a new local slant. A refreshing, ideologically freewheeling discussion, What Ails France? provides a positive take on the innovations of our digital age, exploring their potential to bring about a more representative democracy and a fairer society.

Book Synopsis Becoming African in America by : James Sidbury
Download or read book Becoming African in America written by James Sidbury and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-09-27 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first slaves imported to America did not see themselves as "African" but rather as Temne, Igbo, or Yoruban. In Becoming African in America, James Sidbury reveals how an African identity emerged in the late eighteenth-century Atlantic world, tracing the development of "African" from a degrading term connoting savage people to a word that was a source of pride and unity for the diverse victims of the Atlantic slave trade. In this wide-ranging work, Sidbury first examines the work of black writers--such as Ignatius Sancho in England and Phillis Wheatley in America--who created a narrative of African identity that took its meaning from the diaspora, a narrative that began with enslavement and the experience of the Middle Passage, allowing people of various ethnic backgrounds to become "African" by virtue of sharing the oppression of slavery. He looks at political activists who worked within the emerging antislavery moment in England and North America in the 1780s and 1790s; he describes the rise of the African church movement in various cities--most notably, the establishment of the African Methodist Episcopal Church as an independent denomination--and the efforts of wealthy sea captain Paul Cuffe to initiate a black-controlled emigration movement that would forge ties between Sierra Leone and blacks in North America; and he examines in detail the efforts of blacks to emigrate to Africa, founding Sierra Leone and Liberia. Elegantly written and astutely reasoned, Becoming African in America weaves together intellectual, social, cultural, religious, and political threads into an important contribution to African American history, one that fundamentally revises our picture of the rich and complicated roots of African nationalist thought in the U.S. and the black Atlantic.

Book Synopsis Africa's Underdevelopment: The Nigerian Predicament by : Adeniyi A. Adebisi

This book was released on 2024-09-24 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past 50 years, and I am now in my mid-80s, I have been inundated with questions that I never seem to have answers to. The questions have come from the young and the old; educated and the uneducated; academicians, politicians, public affairs analysts; and men and women of all races. Worst still, when people at all levels make any efforts to offer any explanations, their explanations often stop at reiterating the same questions, not bothering to reason out of the box – thereby deepening the factors that have bedeviled Africa and the black race. The efforts never go beyond discussing the issues while the causes and the way forward often remain untouched. The COVID-19 period was the period I found myself severely restricted as I had never experienced before. For the reason I can not remember now, I challenged myself to address the myriad of questions aforesaid and proffer a way forward from my little corner. In 1776, Adam Smith’s Magnum Opus, The Wealth of Nations, made its debut in England. There were similar literary works that broke out at the same time in Europe, especially in France. The general theme of the various works was that men (human beings) should be allowed to follow their self-interest as might be directed by some “invisible hand” without any hindrance from the government of the day. If this was allowed, individuals would be fulfilled or satisfied and nations would be wealthy. How did this play out? Europeans swooped on Africa to pursue their self-interests backed by their cabal-controlled governments. The European cabals and their foot soldiers were immensely successful, and their countries became rich, and are still rich – but all are for vanity and personal aggrandizement. It was the slave trade at first, and after that, came the ruthless exploitations of human and material resources of the African continent, its citizens, and the black race. This has been the case these past seven centuries, and it remains so up till today. I discovered too that these mischievous nations and individuals devised how things will remain the same forever. They are ruling African countries directly and by proxy. They recruited and are still recruiting their intermediaries who we call our leaders to rule us on their behalf. African leaders, from the presidents to the lowest in the leadership hierarchy, are nothing more than intermediaries - created and nurtured by their past colonial masters who are always looming like a shadow behind them. What is the way forward? Possession is said to be a greater part of ownership. Africa must rise to own their possession. Africa and the blacks are the first and the best. Africa and blacks all over the world should turn the tables against the nations that are riding high simply by the application of barbaric force, wicked manipulation of people, religious bigotry, and worthless subterfuges. They will not change on their own as nobody changes a winning card. Africa must rise up therefore to possess their possession.
