Fordham University Press Grace of the Ghosts
Book SynopsisA profound new volume that reckons with the history of an American Catholic Church embedded in and drawing benefits from White supremacyFor the Church to become a truly anti-racist institution, we must first understand how today's racial challenges are embedded in the theo-logic of American Christianity and the cultural production of our Christian educational institutions. As colleges and universities reckon with their involvement in slavery, Grace of the Ghosts asks Christian-affiliated institutions (of congregation, school, and media) to expand this reckoning with attention to the many ways they have been embedded in and drew benefits from American systems of White supremacy. Too often, White Christian histories render White Christians as the good guys' in order to make a brutal history plausible and thus erase countless injustices committed against Indigenous, Black, Latinx, and Asian peoples. Author Jeannine Hill Fletcher writes instead a U.S. Catholic history that sheds light on the crimes committed against these ancestors by members of their own faith community. Grace of the Ghosts focuses on specific case studies of Catholic educational and ecclesial institutions, journeying through numerous microhistories to provide an accessible program to work toward the flourishing of a multiracial and multicultural Church. Hill Fletcher digs deeply into the details of Jesuit slaveholding at Georgetown, the expansion of Church networks on the frontiers to the West and South and emergent cities to the North, and the extension of the work of women religious from the East Coast to the Midwest. The volume considers the implications of Catholic involvement in Indian Boarding Schools and envisions alternative possibilities in the Catholic activism of the United Farmworkers. Each microhistory elevates the theological insights that emerge from those who withstood the assaults of White Christian supremacy. Hill Fletcher then orients the reader forward by envisioning possibilities of repair. Recognizing that this will require extensive and ongoing work, the book closes with the consideration of spiritual capital (including a reclamation of Ignatius's Spiritual Exercises) that might sustain us as we write the next chapter in the nation's long struggle against White supremacy. Much work must be done for reparation, reconciliation, and repair to unfold fully. Grace of the Ghosts provides a bridge to institutional accountability for past failings and a path toward becoming transformative institutions for the future.

Fordham University Press Nine Irish Plays for Voices
Book SynopsisA vibrant collection of short plays bringing Irish history and culture alive through an extraordinary collage of documents, songs, poems, and texts. In Nine Irish Plays for Voices, award-winning poet Eamon Grennan delves deep into key Irish subjectsbig, small, literary, historical, political, biographicaland illuminates them for today's audiences and readers. These short plays draw from original material centering on important moments in Irish history and the formation of the Irish Republic, such as the Great Famine and the Easter Rising; the lives of Irish literary figures like Yeats, Joyce, and Lady Gregory; and the crucial and life-changing condition of emigration. The rhythmic, musical, and vivid language of Grennan's plays incorporates traditional song lyrics, lines of Irish poetry, and letters and speeches of the time. The result is a dramatic collage that tells a story through the voices of characters contemporary to the period of the play's subject. By presenting subjects through the dramatic rendering of the human voice, the plays facilitate a close, intimate relationship between players and the audience, creating an incredibly powerful connection to the past. Historical moments and literary figures that might seem remote to the present-day reader or audience become immediate and emotionally compelling. One of the plays, Ferry, is drawn entirely from the author's imagination. It puts unnamed characters who come from the world of twentieth-century Ireland on a boat to the underworld with the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. On their journey the five strangers, played by two voices, tell stories about their lives, raising the question of how language both captures and transforms lived experience. Addressing the Great Famine, Hunger uses documentary evidence to give audiences a dramatic feel for what has been a silent and traumatic element in Irish history. Noramollyannalivialucia: The Muse and Mr. Joyce is a one-woman piece that depicts James Joyce's wife as an older woman sharing her memories and snippets from the works of her husband. Also included in this rich volume is the author's adaptation of Synge's Aran Islands, as well as Emigration Road, History! Reading the Easter Rising, The Muse and Mr. Yeats, The Loves of Lady Gregory, and Peig: An Ordinary Life.

ME - Fordham University Press Words Made Flesh
Book SynopsisThe first sustained treatment of religion and religions in the scholarship of a prominent Caribbean thinkerSylvia Wynter is a profoundly transdisciplinary scholar whose works span an impressive array of theory, literature, science, anthropology, philosophy, and religious studies as well as different forms, including essays, plays, a novel, and a 935-page unpublished manuscript entitled Black Metamorphosis: New Natives in a New World. Whatever the medium, Wynter frequently engages religion as a relevant category of analysis, from reflections on Christianity, Islam, and Rastafarianism to the category and role of religion as a universal aspect of human social production. Wynter's writings have received enthusiastic attention by scholars in Black studies, Caribbean theory, critical race theory, literature, and philosophy. But until recently little scholarly writing exists that directly engages the topic of religion in her corpus. Words Made Flesh seeks to fill this gap by focusing exclusively on religion, religions, and religiosity in her work. Bringing together scholars that provide a wide variety of theoretical perspectives on religion, political theology, social theory, and science studies, this book offers an in-depth engagement with one of the most innovative and important thinkers of the last forty years and illustrates how Wynter's writing has significant implications for the study of religion and religion's relationship to colonialism, race, humanism, science, and political theology.

Baker Publishing Group Redeeming Vision – A Christian Guide to Looking
Book SynopsisChristianity Today 2024 Award of Merit (Culture and the Arts) The Gospel Coalition 2023 Book Award (Arts & Culture) We are formed by the images we view. From classical art to advertisements and from news photos to social media, the images we look at mold our ideas of race, gender, and class. They shape how we love God and our neighbor. This practical guide helps us look closely at and understand how a wide variety of images make meaning as aesthetic and cultural objects. Elissa Yukiko Weichbrodt teaches us how to learn from art rather than critique it and how to respond to images in Christian ways, allowing them to positively transform us and how we love. The book includes twenty-three images, most in full color, that range from classical European paintings to Central African sculpture, from Chinese ink painting to political propaganda, and from stark anthropological photographs to unconventional installations.Table of ContentsContentsIntroduction: For People Who Look at PicturesPart 1: How to Look1.

St Augustine's Press Modern Monsters
Book SynopsisThere is no mystery shrouding the toppling pillars of Western civilization and human culture, and George Marlin can no longer watch. Like many readers who are seeing the same destructive forces roaming unchecked and wish to confront them, Marlin has with keenness composed a kind of response that contextualizes the problem and its historical masters, these so-called post-modern "monsters." Among these are Martin Luther, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Hegel, Comte, Mussolini, Hitler, and Marx. His treatment of Antonio Gramsci's "anti-Church" is particularly jolting and redeems the underrepresented efforts of two Catholic popes to defend human dignity. Marlin is notorious for making sense sting a bit in the reader who has been too complacent, and encouraging those who wish to fortify and steel the intuitions of the intellect. Modern Monsters exposes the lack of coherency and bitterness (the only 'natural' attributes of ideology) and claims that ideological thinking in the post-modern era is waging open war with the foundations of Judeo-Christian society. Its chief target is the Catholic Church. Marlin rightly calls out the irony in ideologues, as theirs is simply another kind of idolatry and "secular religion." This concise review of the fatal attraction to ideologies and their applications takes the reader quickly to the heart of the matter and introduces him to a plethora of voices that ought to be heard instead. Indeed, one of the delights of this book is the host of true intellects he calls upon to make his point. In that sense, despite his emphasis on a society in ruin, Marlin's lasting effect is leaving us in the company of those who model what it is to live as worthy heirs of the Western tradition.

St Augustine's Press The Way of the Gadfly
Book SynopsisThis new series of scholarly reflections on the interpretation of Socratic philosophy is an inviting combination of intuition and meticulous analysis. Ryszard Legutko provides the reader a monumental service in his confrontation of the most important and influential literature written on the subject to date. He likewise opens the conversation to European contributions and renders Socrates truly a figurehead of future philosophy far beyond being a pillar in ancient thought. Legutko argues that Socrates was systematic, and his moral views were ultimately grounded in his theory of knowledge that was composed of logically connected propositions (logoi). Reading Plato, Legutko's intuition that Socrates was quite the opposite of the quirky, ironic, and enigmatic character is supported by his demonstration of Socrates' consistency, unity, and hierarchy of thought. He extends Socrates' coherency to a criticism of the democratic mind, framing him even less as a random spit-fire and more the gro

Omnidawn Publishing Clay
Book SynopsisPoetry that finds meaning and connection in the process of creating pottery from clay. The poems in Clay look to the process of forming clay on a potter's wheel to examine our sense of touch and texture, emptiness, fragility, and the nature of time. Martha Ronk moves through the steps of creating a pot that must be formed, dried, bisque-fired, glazed, and fired again. This practice is paralleled in Ronk's process-oriented language that addresses how we read texture and color, the ways history and landscapes appear in glazes, Mimbres bowls that covered the faces of the dead, and Giorgio Morandi's still life paintings of ceramic forms. For Ronk, pottery raises questions about the value of repetition, inevitable failure, and how we may become one with matter. As the potter's hands ache and age, the bowl seems to age as it slumps or breaks. Clay includes observations from other potters and writers as well as small photographs of pots.

Island Press Poisoning the Well
Book SynopsisThis is the shocking true-life story of how PFAS?a set of toxic chemicals most people have never heard of?poisoned the entire country. Based on original, shoe-leather reporting in four highly contaminated towns and damning documents from the polluters? own files, Poisoning the Well traces an ugly history of corporate greed and devastation of human lives. We learn that PFAS, the ?forever chemicals? found in everyday products, from cooking pans to mascara, are coursing through the veins of 97% of Americans. We witness the pain of families who lost sisters and daughters, cousins and neighbors, after PFAS leached into their drinking water. We discover evidence that the makers of forever chemicals may have known for decades about the deadly risks of their products?because their own scientists have been documenting these dangers since the 1960s. And we see the failure of our government, time after time, to provide basic protections to its citizens. It is impossible to read this searing exposé without being infuriated by the recklessness of corporate America. But readers will also be awed by the spirit of ordinary people who, while fighting for their own lives, took it upon themselves to fix a broken regulatory system. Heart-wrenching and maddening, stirring and uplifting, Poisoning the Well offers a unique window into the worst and best of human nature. It is essential reading for anyone concerned about the unfettered power of industry and the invisible threat it poses to the health of the nation?and to each of us.

Boydell & Brewer Ltd Decolonizing African Studies: Knowledge
Book SynopsisExamines transformational moments and liberation movements in the decolonization of inherited Western academic traditions in Africa. This book explores how decolonization and decoloniality provide liberationist knowledge to question and replace the hegemony of Western knowledge systems imposed on Africa. It critically examines the silencing and exclusion of subalterns in global knowledge production and the far-reaching implications of this for pedagogy and policy. As global power is concentrated in the global north where Eurocentrism and white supremacy validate the monopoly of knowledge and its centrality and universality, African perspectives continue to be marginalized or excluded in research, creating the problem of misrepresentation of the continent. It is to this challenge that this book has responded&emdash;the urgent need to eliminate the vestiges of colonialism in the academy and research methodologies. Coloniality is seen not only as a historical phenomenon but also as an ethnocentric continuum, dominating all aspects of present life, especially monopolizing human epistemology, the threshold of human existence, and even development activities. This book provides a balanced overview of what a feasible decoloniality should be. It is all-inclusive, aggregating differing perspectives, including decolonial feminist and LGBTQ thought. It deploys a holistic approach that critiques the limitations to decoloniality, the impediments that culminated in the failure of the late 20th century struggle for decoloniality, and the problems associated with current African resistance to academic decoloniality. The book closes with a discussion of African futurism. Seen as the advanced stage of decoloniality, African futurism involves the application of "traditional" (indigenous) instruments of articulation and cohesion such as Afro-spirituality, myths, folklore, and indigenous techno-scientific innovations, deployed in their capacity to drive, harness, and actualize future possibilities.Trade ReviewIn this comprehensive book, Africanist Falola (Univ. of Texas, Austin) meticulously explores the origins of the Eurocentric academic, socioeconomic, and political onslaught on Africa. [...] Highly recommended. * CHOICE *The book demonstrates Falola as a master of the protocols of writing a generally accessible academic book which is yet summative of the field in question, engaging significantly with its constitutive ideas. On account of the sheer scope of the work in terms of its sweeping coverage of practically every aspect of the subject, and its analytical range, the extensiveness of its engagement with the relevant issues and ideas in almost every aspect of African Studies, anyone who wants to gain an overview of the subject in depth is likely to find this book indispensable. -- Oluwatoyin Vincent Adepoju * New Times *This massive book on the question of decolonizing African studies appears to be the first of its kind from a single author. It is only fitting that it is written by a scholar of Professor Falola's stature, who has spent several decades reflecting on these issues. Students and scholars of Africa would benefit from making it part of their required reading. -- David Ngong * Journal of Religion in Africa *Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Acknowledgments Introduction: The Decolonial Moments Part A: Epistemologies and Methodologies 1.

University of Chicago Press Poems by a SixteenthCentury Gentlewoman Maid and
Book SynopsisA collection of poems by the first English woman to publish secular poetry under her own name. Isabella Whitney (c. 1547after 1624) was the first English woman to publish original secular poetry under her own name. She published two poetic miscellanies of poems: The Copy of a Letter (1567) and A Sweet Nosegay (1573), which include her own work as well as a total of six poems by five different male authors. This edition of her writings prints modernized texts of the complete miscellanies and adds to them six poems attributed to Whitney by largely twentieth-century critics. These poems provide a rich portrait of sixteenth-century female courtship and its dangers, a unique view of class and gender in Whitney's lifetime, and a portrait of London as a burgeoning market of practical goods and luxury items from foodstuffs to imported silk.

Iter Press The Boke of the Cyte of Ladyes
Book SynopsisAn early Tudor translation of the Cité des dames, a crucial argument written by Christine de Pizan on the importance of women. Christine de Pizan's defense of women against centuries of misogyny, Cité des dames, was the only work of literature translated into English by Brian Anslay, an administrator in the household of King Henry VII. While numerous manuscripts were held in royal and aristocratic libraries, Anslay's printed translation enabled a broader range of readers to appreciate the arguments for female rule crucial to the reigns of Mary I and Elizabeth I. Anslay's translation also played a key role in the late-nineteenth-century revival of interest in Christine. This modernization of Anslay's Tudor English makes his translation accessible to contemporary readers while preserving the rhythms of early Tudor prose. It includes an extensive introduction and notes highlighting both the history of the language and the cultural references embodied in the text.
