Book Description
Under the bleak Israeli occupation, not many would have imagined that love between the oppressed Palestinian women and the carefree Israeli settlers could take root, but it did! Amal was tall, well proportioned, walked like a princess and talked with her eyes. One evening, she was spellbound watching the sunset when Aaron, a dashing Israeli settler approached her. In Hollywood stories, love blossoms between a man and a woman ever so slowly, but in real life, love strikes like a mongoose. Their love affair did not last long because the Israelis stoned Amal to death. Almaz, Amal’s sister decided to escape Israel’s cast iron clutches, and with the financial help of her friends, studied at the Sorbonne, in Paris, because she believed that only the educated are free, an aphorism the divine Hypatia of Alexandria postulated. After graduating from the Sorbonne, she travelled to Adelaide, in Australia, to gain a perspective on the Middle Eastern muddle from a distance. With Jason, her lover, they storm the Citadel of the Enlightened where Jostein Gaarder, Gideon Levy, Alon Ben-Meir, Noam Chomsky, Judith Butler, Shimon Peres, Yitzhak Rabin, Mahmoud Darwish, Edward Said and Margot Wallstrӧm reside, to debunk several myths that proclaim the Israelis are God’s chosen people who maintain the most ethical armed forces in the world and believe that killing Palestinians is not really a violation of human rights.

Barrelhouse Blues
Author: Paul Oliver
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 0465019897
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
In the 1920s, Southern record companies ventured to cities like Dallas, Atlanta, and New Orleans, where they set up primitive recording equipment in makeshift studios. They brought in street singers, medicine show performers, pianists from the juke joints and barrelhouses. The music that circulated through Southern work camps, prison farms, and vaudeville shows would be lost to us if it hadn't't been captured on location by these performers and recorders. Eminent blues historian Paul Oliver uncovers these folk traditions and the circumstances under which they were recorded, rescuing the forefathers of the blues who were lost before they even had a chance to be heard. A careful excavation of the earliest recordings of the blues by one of its foremost experts, Barrelhouse Blues expands our definition of that most American style of music.

Bridging Scripture and Moral Theology
Author: Michael B. Cover
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1498567762
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
This book comprises essays honoring the life and work of Yiu Sing Lúcás Chan, S.J., who died unexpectedly on May 19, 2015, at the end of his first year as a member of the faculty in the Department of Theology at Marquette University. The editors intend to commemorate Chan’s brief but productive career by furthering the critical conversations he started. The essays included thus touch on aspects of the brilliant young Jesuit’s wide-ranging work in the fields of scriptural research, moral theology, and systematic theology. Each essay either engages Chan’s scholarship directly or seeks to advance his design to bridge the disciplinary gaps between scriptural research and constructive theology. This book includes contributions by noted Roman Catholic theologians James F. Keenan, S.J., Bryan N. Massingale, and John R. Donohue, S.J., as well as two original poems by his Marquette colleagues dedicated to Lúcás.

A City Called Heaven
Author: Robert M. Marovich
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252097084
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 489
Book Description
In A City Called Heaven, Robert M. Marovich follows gospel music from early hymns and camp meetings through its growth into the sanctified soundtrack of the city's mainline black Protestant churches. Marovich mines print media, ephemera, and hours of interviews with artists, ministers, and historians--as well as relatives and friends of gospel pioneers--to recover forgotten singers, musicians, songwriters, and industry leaders. He also examines the entrepreneurial spirit that fueled gospel music's rise to popularity and granted social mobility to a number of its practitioners. As Marovich shows, the music expressed a yearning for freedom from earthly pains, racial prejudice, and life's hardships. Yet it also helped give voice to a people--and lift a nation. A City Called Heaven celebrates a sound too mighty and too joyous for even church walls to hold.

Civil Rights Music
Author: Reiland Rabaka
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 1498531792
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
While there have been a number of studies that have explored African American “movement culture” and African American “movement politics,” rarely has the mixture of black music and black politics or, rather, black music an as expression of black movement politics, been explored across several genres of African American “movement music,” and certainly not with a central focus on the major soundtracks of the Civil Rights Movement: gospel, freedom songs, rhythm & blues, and rock & roll. Here the mixture of music and politics emerging out of the Civil Rights Movement is critically examined as an incredibly important site and source of spiritual rejuvenation, social organization, political education, and cultural transformation, not simply for the non-violent civil rights soldiers of the 1950s and 1960s, but for organic intellectual-artist-activists deeply committed to continuing the core ideals and ethos of the Civil Rights Movement in the twenty-first century. Civil Rights Music: The Soundtracks of the Civil Rights Movement is primarily preoccupied with that liminal, in-between, and often inexplicable place where black popular music and black popular movements meet and merge. Black popular movements are more than merely social and political affairs. Beyond social organization and political activism, black popular movements provide much-needed spaces for cultural development and artistic experimentation, including the mixing of musical and other aesthetic traditions. “Movement music” experimentation has historically led to musical innovation, and musical innovation in turn has led to new music that has myriad meanings and messages—some social, some political, some cultural, some spiritual and, indeed, some sexual. Just as black popular movements have a multiplicity of meanings, this book argues that the music that emerges out of black popular movements has a multiplicity of meanings as well.
