Columbia University Press An Ethos of Blackness
Book SynopsisThis book is a groundbreaking account of Rastafari, demonstrating that it provides a normative conception of Blackness for people of African descent that resists Eurocentric and colonial ideas.Trade ReviewFor anyone wishing to understand the complexities of how Rastafari came about…this book is an essential read. * Ethnic and Racial Studies *Vivaldi Jean-Marie's extraordinary study of Rastafari has the virtues of historically situating the movement while articulating its philosophical dimensions without fetish but with the virtue and respect of critique. Rastafari Cosmology, Culture, and Consciousness is a must read not only for anyone interested in Rastafari and the complex history of Jamaican struggles for freedom that led to its emergence but also for all interested in the contradictions and humanity of communities struggling for liberation. -- Lewis R. Gordon, author of Fear of Black ConsciousnessThis is a highly engaging work of intellectual history that illuminates the origins, originality and future of the Afrocentric thought of the Rastafarians of Jamaica. Moving deftly through earlier expressions of intellectual and cultural resistance—the Maroons, Myalism, Obeah, Revivalism, and Garveyism—Jean-Marie's account is both comprehensive and highly revealing. Written with great clarity, it is a must for scholars of Caribbean religious and philosophical thought. -- Paget Henry, author of Caliban’s Reason: Introducing Afro-Caribbean PhilosophyAn Ethos of Blackness takes a unique approach to the social and religious history of Rastafari, showing how the practice identifies, advances, and meets the ideals of Blackness broadly while remaining rooted within Jamaican society. Jean-Marie reevaluates Rastafari in its development and practice within the framework of cosmology to explain its origin, evolution, and, to some extent, its future. -- Iyabo Osiapem, William & MaryTable of ContentsPreface1. Resistance to British Colonialism and the Rise of Two Forms of Subjectivity in “Yamaye”2. The Genealogy of Rastafari Cosmology and Its Distinctive Ethos of Blackness3. Rastafari Cosmology, Natural Artifacts, and the Ethos of Blackness4. Rastafari’s Theology of Blackness: A Eurocentric God Cannot Love Africans and People of African Descent5.

Mandala Publishing Group The Bhagavad Gita: A Short Course
Book SynopsisIn a lucid, chapter-by-chapter analysis, Hindu Studies scholar Nicholas Sutton sets out a guide to the philosophy, religious context, and contemporary significance of the Bhagavad Gita. An authoritative yet accessible introduction to this sacred classic, Sutton’s book will be of interest to all students of the Gita, both new and experienced.Forming a climactic moment in the ancient Indian epic the Mahabharata, the Bhagavad Gita is one of the most celebrated texts in the Hindu world. Assuming the form of a dialogue between the princely warrior Arjuna and his divine charioteer Krsna spoken on the brink of a great war, the Gita addresses many themes that are central to Hinduism, including action in the world, spiritual knowledge, devotion, liberation, and the nature of God. Nicholas Sutton’s The Bhagavad Gita: A New Translation and Study Guide presents the principal ideas pursued in the teachings of this classic Hindu scripture. With scholarly rigour, yet always accessible and sensitive to the lived tradition, the book unpacks the meaning of key Sanskrit terms and makes ample use of three influential traditional commentaries on the Gita, namely those of Samkaracarya, Ramanujacarya, and Madhvacarya. It also reflects on the contemporary significance of the Gita’s teachings and how they can be of relevance to the modern world. Sutton’s book will be of interest to all students of the Bhagavad Gita. OXFORD CENTRE SERIES: The Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies Publishing Series offers authoritative yet accessible introductions to a wide range of subjects in Hindu Studies. Each book in the series aims to present its subject matter in a form that is engaging and readily comprehensible to persons of all backgrounds - academic or otherwise - without compromising scholarly rigour. The series thus bridges the divide between academic and popular writing by preserving and utilising the best elements of both. The Bhagavad Gita: A New Translation and Study Guide joins other accessible texts on Hindu Studies authored by expert scholars, including Understanding the Mahabharata; The Hindu Temple and Its Sacred Landscape; and Women in the Hindu World. EXPERT AUTHOR: Nicholas Sutton is the Director of the Continuing Education Department of the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies, an academy for the study of Hindu cultures, societies, philosophies, religions, and languages. He received his PhD from Lancaster University, writing his doctoral dissertation on the Mahabharata, and currently writes and tutors online courses on Hindu religious traditions. EDUCATION AID: This book serves as a comprehensive resource for both classwork and independent study of Hinduism. With the integration of discussion questions, suggested further readings, and glossary of Sanskrit terms, The Bhagavad Gita: A New Translation and Study Guide offers an accessible introduction to this enduring Sanskrit epic.

Potter/Ten Speed/Harmony/Rodale The Way of Play
Book SynopsisThe simple way to help your kids face their fears, handle big emotions, and bolster their social skills?from the New York Times bestselling co-author of The Whole-Brain Child and a renowned play therapist ?A parenting guide as useful as it is scientifically sound, The Way of Play is a gift for anyone who cares about human development and the growth-promoting importance of having fun in life!??Daniel J. Siegel, MDMost parents understand that free, unstructured playtime is great for children?s development. What they may not know is that playful interaction with parents is also a powerful way for kids to cultivate healthy emotional development and resilience. Kids often want their parents to play with them, but many parents don?t know how to play or see it only as an (often boring) way to kill time.Playing with your kids doesn?t have to mean enrolling in countless parent-and-me classes or getting on all fours and making toy car sounds; the little daily moments together can make the most impact. In The Way of Play, world-renowned pediatric therapists and play experts Tina Payne Bryson and Georgie Wisen-Vincent break down seven simple, playful techniques that harness this caregiving magic in only a few minutes each day:? Leaning in to emotions helps children let go of anxieties, drama, and chaotic behavior.? Tuning in to the body teaches children to practice the art of surfing sensory waves.? Storytelling promotes better problem-solving.? Thinking out loud fosters calmer thinking and stronger communication with parents, siblings, and everyone else.Full of science-backed research, real-life stories, and charming line illustrations to bring this novel advice to life, The Way of Play will help you nurture your kids and encourage them to become calm listeners, cooperative problem solvers, and respectful communicators. Just as important, it will help your whole family have more fun together and build stronger relationships.
