Lindale, Lint and Leather 1825-2001 Lindale, GeorgiaaEUR"The Rise and Fall of a Southern Cotton Mill【電子書籍】[ Randall McCord ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Lindale, Lint, and Leather is Randall McCord's third published work. Beginning in 2015, he and former player Tommy Moon wrote 739 pages about The Cotton Picking Centre Warriors, which was a hundred-year history of their high school football team located in Cherokee County, Alabama. Six years later, he authored a semibiographical book about a journey from Roy Hill's cotton fields to US Navy duty on the island of Oahu set in Hawaii's last year as a territory and first as the fiftieth state. Both have been well received by casual readers and historians. The eighty-three-year-old has experienced a varied career as a farm boy, athlete, Navy petty officer, college student, and later high school teacher and coach. Yet for the past four decades, he has owned and operated a forest products company with wife, Joyce Anne, in Rome, Georgia, near their home on Rockmart Road in Silver Creek.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,134円

A Prophet of the People Isaiah Shembe and the Making of a South African Church【電子書籍】[ Lauren V. Jarvis ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In 1910 Isaiah Shembe was struggling. He had left his family and quit his job as a sanitation worker to become a Baptist evangelist, but he ended his first mission without much to show. Little did he know that he would soon establish the Nazaretha Church as he began to attract attention from people left behind by industrial capitalism in South Africa. By his death in 1935, Shembe was an internationally known prophet and healer, described by his peers as “better off than all the Black people.” In <em>A Prophet of the People: Isaiah Shembe and the Making of a South African Church</em>, historian Lauren V. Jarvis provides a fascinating and intimate portrait of one of South Africa’s most famous religious figures, and in turn the making of modern South Africa. Following Shembe from his birth in the 1860s across many environments and contexts, Jarvis illuminates the tight links between the spread of Christianity, strategies of evasion, and the capacious forms of community that continue to shape South Africa today.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,871円

Cinemas of the Global South Towards a Southern Aesthetics【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book engages with the idea of the Global South through cinema as a concept of resistance; as a space of decolonialisation; and as an arena of virtuality, creativity and change. It opens up a dialogue amongst scholars and filmmakers from the Global South: India, Nigeria, Colombia, Brazil, South Africa, and Egypt.</p> <p>The essays in the volume approach cinema as an intertwined process of both production and perception not divorced from the economic, social, political and cultural. They emphasise film as a visual medium where form, structure and content are not separable. Through a wide array of film-readings, the authors explore the concept of a southern cinematic esthetics, in particular, and the concept of the Global South in general.</p> <p>The volume will be of interest to scholars, students and researchers of film and media studies, critical theory, cultural studies and Global South studies.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 6,321円

<p>“A remarkable work, and a real pleasure to read. The scope of the book is wonderfully ambitious, and the pacing is also outstanding as the novel successfully zeroes in on decisive events and leaps years with crisp expository narrative. Corwin’s voice is naturally decisive and authoritative, contributing to the overall persuasiveness. Overall, it is truly impressive work, and it its important work as well. This is a novel with real impact.” Fred Leebron, author of Six Figures and Welcome to Christiania. “Tallapoosa yields up a gratifying mix of history, drama, and good old-fashioned character-based story telling. The novel’s people manage against all odds to remain good and humane in the battle against wicked institutions and in the face of apparently insurmountable odds. A moving narrative about the struggle to do good in a fallen world. Pinkney Benedict, author of Miricle Boy and Other Stories. With searing honesty and through unforgettable characters, in Tallapoosa, Corwin lays bare the struggle for the Southern soul in its darkestーand most hopefulーhours.

African New Prophetic Pentecostalism and Human Flourishing A South African Perspective【電子書籍】[ Knut Holter ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book investigates the question of human flourishing in African New Pentecostalism in South Africa. In a context marked by deep economic inequality and high unemployment, many poor South Africans rely on African New Pentecostal prophets to bring spiritual meaning to their lives. Collectively, and using various theoretical frameworks and methods, the authors of this volume analyze and critique the concept of this pursuit, and ask what can be done to challenge African New Pentecostal prophets to respond effectively.</p> <p>The book will be of interest to academics, pastors, researchers and university students in Pentecostalism in Africa, Missiology and Science of Religion, Sociology and Psychology of Religion and the public role of religion in South Africa and beyond.</p> <p>"This volume provides a uniquely fresh perspective on African Pentecostalism by linking three important discursive fields: human flourishing, charismatic Pentecostalism, and decoloniality. The volume provides important insights into the normative notions brought forward by prophetic Pentecostalism on what constitutes a good life. It thereby substantially advances the debate on Pentecostalism and prosperity. Even though the book zooms in on South Africa, its chapters bear relevance far beyond. The volume is therefore a must-read for anyone wanting to engage with current trends in African Christianity."</p> <p>ーPhilipp ?hlmann, Associated Senior Researcher, Center for Rural Development, Humboldt University; Research Fellow, Department of Theology and Religious Studies, University of Botswana</p> <p>"This is an intellectually stimulating, original, and thought-provoking contribution to the field of African Pentecostal Studies. It has not failed to deliver and must be read to understand new creative interpretations of the movements by African Christian scholars."</p> <p>ーChammah Kaunda, Assistant Professor, Yonsei University, South Korea; Extraordinary Professor, University of the Western Cape, South Africa</p> <p>"This important book creatively explores human flourishing in the context of New Prophetic Pentecostalism in Africa. It should be read by all who are interested in the most recent developments of Southern African Pentecostalism and those concerned about genuine human flourishing in the church and wider society."</p> <p>ーDr. Simo Frestadius, Dean of Research, Regents Theological College; Executive Director, Institute for Pentecostal Theology; Chair, European Pentecostal Theological Association</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 11,344円

Outliving the White Lie A Southerner's Historical, Genealogical, and Personal Journey【電子書籍】[ James Wiggins ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Part history, part memoir, <em>Outliving the White Lie: A Southerner’s Historical, Genealogical, and Personal Journey</em> charts conflicting narratives of American and southern identity through a blend of public, family, and deeply personal history. Author James Wiggins, who was raised in rural Mississippi, pairs thorough historical research with his own lived experiences. <em>Outliving the White Lie</em> looks squarely at the many untruths regarding the history and legacy of race that have proliferated among white Americans, from the misrepresentations of Black Confederates to the myth of a “postracial” America.</p> <p>Though the US was ostensibly established to achieve freedom and shrug off an oppressive English monarchy, this mythology of the United States’ founding belies a glaring paradoxーthat this is a country whose foundation depends entirely on coercion and enslavement. How, then, could generations of decent people, people who valued individual liberty and personal autonomy, coexist within and alongside such a paradox? Historians suggest an answer: that these apparently dissonant points of view were reconciled in antebellum America by white citizens learning “to live with slavery by learning to live a lie.” The operative lie throughout American history and the lie underpinning the institution of slavery, they argue, has always been the fallacy of raceーdeliberately propagated tenets asserting skin color as the preeminent marker of identity and value. Wiggins takes accepted delusions to task in this moving reconciliation of southern living.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,671円

Restoring the Pitchfork Ranch How Healing a Southwest Oasis Holds Promise for Our Endangered Land【電子書籍】[ A. Thomas Cole ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Pitchfork Ranch is more than another dusty homestead tucked away in a corner of the Southwest. It is a place with a story to tell about the most pressing crisis to confront humankind. It is a place where one couple is working every day to right decades of wrongs. It is a place of inspiration and promise. It is an invitation to join the struggle for a better planet.</p> <p><em>Restoring the Pitchfork Ranch</em> tells the story of a decades-long habitat restoration project in southwestern New Mexico. Rancher-owner A. Thomas Cole explains what inspired him and his wife, Lucinda, to turn their retirement into years dedicated to hard work and renewal. The book shares the past and present history of a very special ranch south of Silver City, which is home to a rare type of regional wetland, a fragile desert grassland ecosystem, archaeological sites, and a critical wildlife corridor in a drought-stricken landscape.</p> <p>Today the 11,300 acres that make up the Pitchfork Ranch provide an important setting for carbon sequestration, wildlife habitats, and space for the reintroduction of endangered or threatened species. <em>Restoring the Pitchfork Ranch</em> weaves together stories of mine strikers, cattle ranching, and the climate crisis into an important and inspiring call to action. For anyone who has wondered how they can help, the Pitchfork Ranch provides an inspiring way forward.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,200円

Third Girl From The Left A Novel【電子書籍】[ Martha Southgate ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The New York Times hailed Martha Southgate’s previous novel, The Fall of Rome, as “powerful,” O, the Oprah Magazine called it “quietly accomplished,” and Essence lauded it as “a bracingly honest look at race, class, and self-acceptance.” With Third Girl from the Left, Southgate brings her acute vision and emotional scope to a larger canvas. This enormously entertaining yet serious novel tells a story of African-American women struggling against all odds to express what lies deepest in their hearts. Like Michael Chabon’s The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay or E. L. Doctorow’s Ragtime, it ranges freely through time, fact, and fiction to weave an enthralling story about history and art and their place in the lives of three women. “My mother believed in the power of movies and the people in them to change a life, to change her life.” So explains Tamara, daughter of Angela, granddaughter of Mildred ー the three women whose lives are portrayed in stunning detail in this ambitious novel spanning three generations of one family.<br /> Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1970 is not a place a smart black girl wants to linger. For Angela, twenty years old and beautiful, the stifling conformity is unbearable. She heads to Los Angeles just as blaxploitation movies are pouring money into the studios and lands a few bit parts before an unplanned pregnancy derails her plans for stardom.<br /> For Mildred, movies have always been a blessed diversion in a life marked by the legacy of the 1921 Tulsa race riots. But after Angela leaves Tulsa following a bitter fight, the distance between them grows into a breach that remains for years. It falls to Tamara, a budding documentarian ー raised in LA by Angela as though they have no family, no history ー to help mother and grandmother confront all that has been silenced and left unsaid in their lives.<br /> A bold, beautifully written, and deeply involving novel, Third Girl from the Left deftly examines the pull of the movies, the power of desire, and the bonds of family in a quintessentially American story.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,584円

Homeplace A Southern Town, a Country Legend, and the Last Days of a Mountaintop Honky-Tonk【電子書籍】[ John Lingan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>An intimate account of country music, social change, and a vanishing way of life as a Shenandoah town collides with the twenty-first century</strong></p> <p>Winchester, Virginia is an emblematic American town. When John Lingan first traveled there, it was to seek out Jim McCoy: local honky-tonk owner and the DJ who first gave airtime to a brassy-voiced singer known as Patsy Cline, setting her on a course for fame that outlasted her tragically short life. What Lingan found was a town in the midst of an identity crisis.</p> <p>As the U.S. economy and American culture have transformed in recent decades, the ground under centuries-old social codes has shifted, throwing old folkways into chaos. <em>Homeplace</em> teases apart the tangle of class, race, and family origin that still defines the town, and illuminates questions that now dominate our national conversationーabout how we move into the future without pretending our past doesn't exist, about what we salvage and what we leave behind. Lingan writes in “penetrating, soulful ways about the intersection between place and personality, individual and collective, spirit and song.”*</p> <p>* Leslie Jamison, author of <em>The Empathy Exams</em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,584円

The Adventures of Left-Hand Island Book 11 - Ring Peninsula South【電子書籍】[ Godfrey Apap ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The adventures continues as the children wander another part of the mysterious Left-Hand Island.</p> <p>Book 11 begins at the base of Ring Peninsula, near the edge of the rainbow. Here the children discover more unique wildlife normally found in the Southeast Asian archipelago. The children meet some interesting animals who are funny and friendly or just simply silly. As the day unfolds, the children are given some gloomy clues to stay away from The Utterly Empty Forest, where it is rumoured a lonely loathsome creepy creature dwells. Everything would have been well and good that day, except the children innocently wandered into the forest they ought not. The creature they face there is dreadful, not to mention it is real, alive, and hunts in Indonesia today.</p> <p><strong>Cautionary note:</strong> This book series was originally intended to be read to children in those precious bonding years of four and five year olds. But the books slowly and gradually become more elaborate, using harder words. This encourages a better learning experience, as you the reader get to explain certain words or phrases to them.</p> <p>As the series progresses, the books become funnier, but also scarier. At many school readings, the children always seem to want me to read the scarier books. Although the monsters and pictures become scarier, they are no more scary than a Disney movie. So before you read to a young one, please flip to the end, to see if the scary monsters are too harsh for more sensitive viewers. These books will also serve to teach and delight early readers.</p> <p>Thank you.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 794円

Social and Ethical Issues of Global Pandemics A Southern African Perspective【電子書籍】[ Abdallah Ally ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the weaknesses inherent in the social infrastructure of African states, especially healthcare and social security systems. African states were characterized by a high level of unpreparedness with scientific and technological insufficiency to address the pandemic emergency. This in turn worsened the impact of COVID-19 on all fronts, thus, many African states experienced issues with high mortality rate, rampant job losses, and arbitrary and erratic state responses. Social and Ethical Issues of Global Pandemics: A Southern African Perspective edited by Masake Pilisano Harris and Richard Obinna Iroanya argues that pandemics deepen inequality margins with grave social, legal, and ethical consequences in Southern Africa and beyond. Through empirical and theoretical research, Harris and Iroanya analyze the regulations that were passed during COVID-19 and evaluate the impact and legality of these regulations. The contributors provide information that will help authorities and society appreciate the extent of the effects of the pandemic and its control measures on people’s ways of life in the post-COVID era and beyond.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 6,258円
