Beschreibung

"Norfolk Colony" explores the captivating history of Norfolk Island, a remote South Pacific territory that transformed from a brutal penal settlement into a peaceful community. The book delves into the island's dual identity, examining its origins as a place of despair and its subsequent rebirth as a unique cultural haven. It uncovers intriguing facts, such as the strategic importance of the island to early European powers due to its location and natural resources and the profound impact of penal colony life on the cultural identity of its inhabitants.

 
The book argues that Norfolk Island serves as a microcosm of broader historical forces, illustrating themes of oppression, adaptation, and the enduring strength of community. The narrative progresses chronologically, starting with the island's initial settlement and its establishment as a penal colony. It then chronicles the harsh realities faced by convicts, followed by the island's resettlement by Pitcairn Islanders and the evolution of modern Norfolk Island society. This approach provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of the island's transformation and its place in world history.

 
"Norfolk Colony" offers a fresh perspective by blending historical analysis with contemporary insights into island communities, emphasizing resilience and cultural adaptation. By drawing upon archival records, personal diaries, and archaeological findings, the book provides a balanced and nuanced account of a lesser-known chapter in world history, making it a valuable read for those interested in colonial studies, island cultures, and stories of human resilience.

    A Burning House - Redeeming...

    Despite the civil rights progress he fought for and saw on the horizon in the 1950s and '60s, Martin Luther King Jr.—increasingly concerned by America's moral vision, admitted—"I've come to believe that we are integrating into a burning house." 
    In A Burning House, Brandon Washington contends that American Evangelicalism is a house ablaze: burning in the destructive fires of discrimination and injustice. The stain of segregation remains prevalent, not only in our national institutions, but also in our churches, and this has long tarnished the witness of Christianity and hampered our progress toward a Christ-like vision of Shalom—peace, justice, and wholeness—in the world. Common doctrine may unite black and white evangelicals, but rifts such as social ethics and cultural influences still separate us. 
    Throughout this challenging but reconciliatory book, Washington gives a historical and theological appraisal of American evangelicalism to understand how we came to be where we are and what our response should be. Instead of calling the movement to become something new, he challenges it to live into what it has always been in Christ and strive for deliberate and sacrificial integration—the unity of believers of all ethnicities. 
    A Burning House is a rallying call to a waning movement whose most public leaders have often turned a blind eye to, or even justified, the sin of racism—a movement whose theology is sometimes compromised by a secular anthropology. This is a call to both white and black evangelicals to better understand our past so that we can better embrace the unifying and comprehensive message of the gospel we preach.

    A brilliant look at colonialism and its effects in Antigua—by the author of Annie John 
     
     
     
    "If you go to Antigua as a tourist, this is what you will see. If you come by aeroplane, you will land at the V. C. Bird International Airport. Vere Cornwall (V. C.) Bird is the Prime Minister of Antigua. You may be the sort of tourist who would wonder why a Prime Minister would want an airport named after him—why not a school, why not a hospital, why not some great public monument. You are a tourist and you have not yet seen . . ." 
     
     
     
    So begins Jamaica Kincaid's expansive essay, which shows us what we have not yet seen of the ten-by-twelve-mile island in the British West Indies where she grew up. 
     
     
     
    Lyrical, sardonic, and forthright by turns, in a Swiftian mode, A Small Place cannot help but amplify our vision of one small place and all that it signifies.

    From 1861 till his assassination in 1865, Abraham Lincoln was an American legal representative and statesman who functioned as the 16th president of the United States. Lincoln led the nation through the American Civil War, preserving the Union, eliminating slavery, enhancing the federal government, and helping the economy of the United States. 
    Lincoln grew up on the frontier, mainly in Indiana, and was born into poverty in a log cabin. He was self-taught and went on to end up being a legal representative, Whig Party leader, Illinois state lawmaker, and member of the U.S.A. Congress for Illinois. 
    In 1849, he resumed his law business, but was bothered by the Kansas-- Nebraska Act, which permitted farther terrain to be opened to slavery. In 1854, he went back to politics as a leader of the freshly formed Republican politician Party, and in 1858, he disputed Stephen Douglas in front of a nationwide audience. 
    Let’s learn more about this distinct, important, prominent figure in the United States’ history.
