Book Description
The battle of a young indigenous American man who grows up like most other indigenous Americans suffering from the aftermath of ethnic cleansing, displacement, internalized racism, Stockholm syndrome, forced assimilation, and the ongoing colonialism that began in the year 1492. The young man grows up with deep-rooted self-hatred, ashamed of his indigenous American roots—bleaching his hair, buying whitening creams, and using blue contact lenses—desperately attempting to erase all physical evidence of the obvious proof of who he is. Until, one day, his grandfather asks him why he hates himself so much and gives him an antique scroll written in the 1500s, which contains the root of where his problem of internalized racism began. The ancient scroll is written in Nahuatl, and the only way to learn Nahuatl is to return to Oaxaca, Mexico, where he was born and find someone that could teach him. The question is does it matter enough to know what was written so long ago in an ancient language? And, if so, what will he discover? But, more importantly, what will he do with the information learned?

El "cristianismo sin Dios" en Madrid
Author: Álvaro 'Corazón Rural' es el seudónimo de Álvaro González
Publisher: Editorial UOC
ISBN: 8491162178
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 86
Book Description
Son muchos los españoles que se reconocen cristianos pero rechazan a la Iglesia católica. Una muestra de ello es el apoyo de tantos sectores alejados de la organización religiosa que reciben las campañas que realiza la parroquia San Carlos Borromeo del madrileño barrio de Vallecas. En esta pequeña iglesia del sur de Madrid, como en otras de la zona, se vive un cristianismo de a pie. Una interpretación literal del Evangelio. Este reportaje intenta explicar qué hay detrás de la famosa parroquia, pero sobre todo refleja mediante entrevistas dónde hunde sus raíces esta interpretación y aplicación del cristianismo. Desde el movimiento de los curas obreros, que participó en la fundación del sindicato CC.OO. (Comisiones Obreras) y estuvo adscrito a las luchas vecinales y de los trabajadores durante la Transición, al compromiso con los drogadictos, delincuentes y marginados durante los 80 del padre Enrique de Castro, para finalizar en los 90 y 2000, cuando la actividad de la parroquia se dirige fundamentalmente a los inmigrantes que llegan a Madrid en la situación más vulnerable. Para estos curas no existen conceptos como vida eterna u otras entelequias teológicas; para ellos Dios es el día a día, el gesto de compartir y acoger a quien más lo necesita aunque eso suponga violar la ley.

Sin Dios Sí Hay Divinidad
Author: Abhijit Naskar
Publisher: Vicdansaadet Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 95
Book Description
Sin Dios Sí Hay Divinidad is the humanitarian scientist's sermon of modern divinity. Thus speaks The Pastor Who Never Was. “If you believe, God is the supreme creator of everything, then God is also the one who gave you a brain. Use it. Likewise, if you know that we have evolved from the apes through natural selection, then you should also know about the fascinating mental faculty we developed alongside reason, called empathy. Use it. Some might say, it is cowardly of me to not pick any side with confidence. Well, I am a behaviorist after all. You don't expect me to peddle the same old dualistic ideologies that philosophers and theologians have been peddling for centuries, do you - that too with a complete disregard for the necessities of the everyday mind! I want to induce integration in the world, not conversion. So I say, if you believe in God, make it a reason for assimilation, not segregation. If you prefer reason, use it for warm ascension, not cold and fancy descension.”
