Synopsis

"Western Samoa" explores the captivating story of this Pacific island nation, examining its transformation from a pre-colonial society through German and New Zealand administrations to its hard-won independence. The book illuminates Samoa's nation-building journey, focusing on the influences of colonialism, decolonization, and the forging of a sovereign nation.

 
Did you know that the Mau movement, a powerful Samoan independence movement, played a crucial role in challenging colonial rule? Or that the drafting of a constitution and the establishment of a parliamentary democracy marked a pivotal moment in Samoa's path to self-determination? This historical narrative showcases the agency of the Samoan people in shaping their own destiny, challenging simplistic views of colonial oppression.

 
Utilizing primary sources like colonial archives and oral histories, the book adopts a multi-faceted approach, blending historical analysis with insights from anthropology and political science. From examining German economic policies to analyzing New Zealand's governance approach, the book progresses chronologically, providing a nuanced and comprehensive view of Samoan history. It also connects Samoa's historical journey to broader themes in world history.

    An Italian family, sizable, with its routines and rituals, crazes, pet phrases, and stories, doubtful, comical, indispensable, comes to life in the pages of Natalia Ginzburg's Family Lexicon. Giuseppe Levi, the father, is a scientist, consumed by his work and a mania for hiking—when he isn't provoked into angry remonstration by someone misspeaking or misbehaving or wearing the wrong thing. Giuseppe is Jewish, married to Lidia, a Catholic, though neither is religious; they live in the industrial city of Turin where, as the years pass, their children find ways of their own to medicine, marriage, literature, politics. It is all very ordinary, except that the background to the story is Mussolini's Italy in its steady downward descent to race law and world war. The Levis are, among other things, unshakeable anti-fascists. That will complicate their lives. 
     
     
     
    Family Lexicon is about a family and language—and about storytelling not only as a form of survival but also as an instrument of deception and domination. The book takes the shape of a novel, yet everything is true. "Every time that I have found myself inventing something in accordance with my old habits as a novelist, I have felt impelled at once to destroy [it]," Ginzburg tells us at the start. "The places, events, and people are all real."

    On any given night, more than half a million Americans and Canadians find themselves sleeping on the streets, in shelters, cars, and other places not meant for human habitation. Yet as this crisis continues to grow, it remains one of the least talked about—especially in churches. Even where compassion and empathy exist, the complexities around homelessness can make us feel stuck, overwhelmed, or numb to the existence of unhoused people in our cities and neighborhoods.  Reporting back from his work in homeless services, minister and advocate Kevin Nye introduces readers to the Christ he’s met in tents, shelters, and drop-in centers. He demystifies homelessness by journeying into complex issues like affordable housing, mental illness, addiction, and more, while reimagining our theological approach to these matters and educating us on how they intersect with homelessness.  This thorough and intimate book shows us that from the margins, Jesus has something to teach us all about grace—something that could change the landscape of homelessness entirely if we’re ready to hear it.
