Book Description
Charlie seems like a normal, modern guy, and up to now he didn’t even know about his amazing bloodline, which reaches back to the lost tribe of Benjamin. After the Benjamins defeated the Romans, they left Israel and wandered through northern Germany. Charlie is astonished to learn that his ancestors played a role in Charlemagne’s ascension, William the Conqueror’s rule over Normandy and England, and the founding of the American colonies. But the family’s place in history isn’t just impressive—it’s otherworldly. Along the way, there was a dose of the divine from Poseidon himself, injecting powers of mythical proportion into the bloodline. Now Charlie’s own powers have awakened as he finds himself heir to wealth beyond his wildest dreams. He’s always thought he was on the outside looking in, but now he learns that those set apart can become leaders, heroes, and world changers. Armed with his new knowledge, Charlie discovers that the very traits that made his family “different” also gave them strength and tenacity.

Christian Identity
Author: Chester L. Quarles
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 078648148X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
The Ku Klux Klan, the Aryan Nations, and many ultra-right-wing racist "religious" organizations adhere to a doctrine called Christian Identity. Christian Identity is not a denomination, but a loosely organized movement embracing a range of beliefs. Its foundation is the theory that Anglo-Saxons (and Aryans, in most cases) are the true descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel, and are the chosen people of God. Christian Identity is a bloodline religion: a belief system irrevocably tied to race. As such it lends itself to the violence, racism, and anti-Semitism of its more militant practitioners, and its growth and links to domestic terrorism warrant a better understanding of the movement. This survey of the Christian Identity Movement traces its development and beliefs, from its origins to its modern manifestations. It examines the doctrines and visions of the future of Identity communities and organizations in America. The initial chapter explores British Israelism, forerunner of most bloodline Identity groups; the oral traditions behind the movement are reviewed in the second. The third chapter outlines the American Israel, Israel Identity and bloodline Identity movements, including major figures and groups. The following chapters provide an introduction to Christian Identity itself, its general religious tenets, and post-Creation beliefs upon which much of the theory is based. Subsequent chapters describe militant bloodline and Identity groups, and individual militant Identity leaders. The final chapter explores the "Third American Revolution" predicted by these groups, a forthcoming war based on race and religion.

American Blood
Author: Holly Jackson
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199317054
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
Conventional understandings of the family in nineteenth-century literary studies depict a venerated institution rooted in sentiment, sympathy, and intimacy. American Blood upends this notion, showing how novels of the period frequently emphasize the darker sides of the vaunted domestic unit. Rather than a source of security and warmth, the family emerges as exclusionary, deleterious to civic life, and antagonistic to the political enterprise of the United States. Through inventive readings supported by cultural-historical research, Holly Jackson explores critical depictions of the family in a range of both canonical and forgotten novels. Republican opposition to the generational transmission of property in early America emerges in Nathaniel Hawthorne's The House of the Seven Gables (1851). The "tragic mulatta" trope in William Wells Brown's Clotel (1853) is revealed as a metaphor for sterility and national death, linking mid-century theories of hybrid infertility to anxieties concerning the nation's crisis of political continuity. A striking interpretation of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Dred (1856) occupies a subsequent chapter, as Jackson uncovers how the author most associated with the enshrinement of domestic kinship deconstructs both scientific and sentimental conceptions of the family. A focus on feminist views of maternity and the family anchor readings of Anna E. Dickinson's What Answer? (1868) and Sarah Orne Jewett's The Country of the Pointed Firs (1896), while a chapter on Pauline Hopkins's Hagar's Daughter (1901) examines how it engages with socio-scientific discourses of black atavism to expose the family's role not simply as a metaphor for the nation but also as the mechanism for the reproduction of its unequal social relations. Cogently argued, clearly written, and anchored in unconventional readings, American Blood presents a series of lively arguments that will interest literary scholars and historians of the family, as it reveals how nineteenth-century novels imagine-even welcome-the decline of the family and the social order that it supports.

My Ancestry
Author: Diambu Smith
Publisher: Booktango
ISBN: 1468920383
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 31
Book Description
The book, "My Ancestry: A Narrative of My Familial Ancestral Past Through Genetic DNA Examination," is a journey into the family history of Mr. Diambu Smith via genetic DNA lineage and admixture tests. The book details the DNA test results of eight family lineages of Mr. Smith and the general ethnic admixture of himself and his father, Mr. Morton Vogel Smith, Jr. The DNA test results are compared and contrasted with stories of Diambu's oral family history passed down from generation to generation. Have you ever wondered if there is a family history of yours to be discovered beyond old family stories? Have you ever desired to find your ancestral roots using genetic DNA testing? This book demonstrates an example of how to uncover those results and to reveal hidden connections to your familial past, particularly for African-Americans who for centuries have been held back from knowing their specific African tribes and nations of ancestral origin. The book, "My Ancestry: A Narrative of My Familial Ancestral Past Through Genetic DNA Examination," is a great read and an excellent example for those interested in investigating their familial and ancestral roots through genetic DNA lineage and admixture testing.

Beyond Citizenship
Author: Peter J. Spiro
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199722250
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
American identity has always been capacious as a concept but narrow in its application. Citizenship has mostly been about being here, either through birth or residence. The territorial premises for citizenship have worked to resolve the peculiar challenges of American identity. But globalization is detaching identity from location. What used to define American was rooted in American space. Now one can be anywhere and be an American, politically or culturally. Against that backdrop, it becomes difficult to draw the boundaries of human community in a meaningful way. Longstanding notions of democratic citizenship are becoming obsolete, even as we cling to them. Beyond Citizenship charts the trajectory of American citizenship and shows how American identity is unsustainable in the face of globalization. Peter J. Spiro describes how citizenship law once reflected and shaped the American national character. Spiro explores the histories of birthright citizenship, naturalization, dual citizenship, and how those legal regimes helped reinforce an otherwise fragile national identity. But on a shifting global landscape, citizenship status has become increasingly divorced from any sense of actual community on the ground. As the bonds of citizenship dissipate, membership in the nation-state becomes less meaningful. The rights and obligations distinctive to citizenship are now trivial. Naturalization requirements have been relaxed, dual citizenship embraced, and territorial birthright citizenship entrenched--developments that are all irreversible. Loyalties, meanwhile, are moving to transnational communities defined in many different ways: by race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, and sexual orientation. These communities, Spiro boldly argues, are replacing bonds that once connected people to the nation-state, with profound implications for the future of governance. Learned, incisive, and sweeping in scope, Beyond Citizenship offers a provocative look at how globalization is changing the very definition of who we are and where we belong.
