Book Description
An humble attempt to vindicate the principles and characters of the Burgher seceders, from the groundless aspersions cast upon them by Mr. Robert Smith, Minister of the Antiburgher congregation at Auchenleck, in his pamphlet, intitled, Self-inconsistency exemplified: wherein the Burghers opposition to their own profession of religion is demonstrated ... To which is subjoined, the Act of the Associate Synod, met at Stirling, the 29th of October, 1747, declaring the nullity of the pretended Synod, that first met in Mr. Gib's house in Bristo, near Edinburgh, April 10th, 1747

Colonial Mixed Blood
Author: Allan Russell Juriansz
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 149171364X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 435
Book Description
COLONIAL MIXED BLOOD The navies built by the Arabs and King Solomon plied the oceans long ago. The Portuguese, Dutch, and British followed suit, and eventually the oceans were mastered. The colonial age came into being and brought with it increased movements of people and the mixing of genes. In Colonial Mixed Blood, author Allan Russell Juriansz, who was born in Sri Lanka, provides an account of this occurrence with reference to the Portuguese, Dutch, and British who colonized Sri Lanka for the period of the past five hundred years. The story begins in Riga, Latvia, in the late 1400s and centres on the Ondatjes and the Juriansz clan, their love story, their immersion in Christianity, and their struggles to survive the forces of colonialism and find happiness. A blend of history and fiction, Colonial Mixed Blood provides a background of the religious forces at work during this time in Europe and outlines the genealogy and life experiences of Juriansz’s family as part of the colonial activity of the Dutch East India Company in Sri Lanka. They inherited an adventurous spirit from their first Dutch ancestors, and this spirit inspired their diaspora. But it was one hundred and fifty years of intense British influence that transformed them into loyal British subjects.

Embracing the Other
Author: Dunja M. Mohr
Publisher: Rodopi
ISBN: 9042023775
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 341
Book Description
In the wake of addressing multiculturalism, transculturalism, racism, and ethnicity, the issue of xenophobia and xenophilia has been somewhat marginalized. The present collection seeks, from a variety of angles, to investigate the relations between Self and Other in the New Literatures in English. How do we register differences and what does an embrace signify for both Self and Other? The contributors deal with a variety of topics, ranging from theoretical reflections on xenophobia, its exploration in terms of intertextuality and New Zealand/Maori historiography, to analyses of migrant and border narratives, and issues of transitionality, authenticity, and racism in Canada and South Africa. Others negotiate identity and alterity in Nigerian, Malaysian, Australian, Indian, Canadian, and Caribbean texts, or reflect on diaspora and orientalism in Australian–Asian and West Indian contexts.

Swedish and Finnish Historiographies of the Swedish Realm, c. 1520–1809
Author: Miia Kuha
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000934411
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
In the early modern era, two Nordic countries that are neighbours today, Sweden and Finland, formed one realm. Yet, modern history writing has largely ignored this unity, instead developing analysis and discussion in close connection to nationalistic ideas, national politics, and processes of state-building. Historians of both countries have therefore mostly approached their common past separately and academic history in both countries has taken its own course of development, leading to different emphases. This volume explores the common early modern history between Sweden and Finland from the Middle Ages to beginning of the 19th century, and how this history has been created in professional historiography (1860–2020), which methods have been used, and which themes studied. Based on extensive source material, including a database of history publications in different fields in both countries, this book offers a fresh scholarly approach to the study of historiography through a unique comparative perspective. This book is an excellent resource for students and professional researchers alike through providing an alternate view on the history of Sweden and Finland and providing key insight into the historiography of these two countries, and the similarities and differences they showcase.
