Sinopsis

Toltec Influence explores the profound and lasting impact of the Toltec civilization on Mesoamerica, particularly on the Aztecs. It examines how the Toltecs, despite their relatively short reign, laid a cultural foundation that later societies deliberately emulated. The book highlights architectural innovations like Atlantean figures and serpent columns, alongside the integration of deities like Quetzalcoatl into the broader Mesoamerican religious landscape. Understanding the Toltec civilization provides insight into the ideological and physical structures adopted by successor cultures. The book meticulously dissects the Toltec's rise and decline, then transitions to the architectural techniques, symbolic meanings, and regional variations in their building styles. Subsequent chapters explore the Toltec religious system, focusing on key deities, rituals, and cosmological beliefs. By contrasting Toltec and Aztec practices, the book reveals how the Aztecs strategically appropriated Toltec elements to legitimize their rule and connect themselves to a prestigious past, reinforcing their political and spiritual authority. Through archaeological evidence, historical accounts, and art analysis, Toltec Influence offers a comprehensive look at Mesoamerican history. It stands out by focusing on how Toltec influence was transmitted and transformed, rather than simply cataloging similarities between cultures. This exploration offers value to students, scholars, and anyone interested in understanding the complex relationship between past and present in ancient civilizations.

    A Groundbreaking Portrait of African American Christianity
    The history of African American Christianity is one of the determined faith of a people driven to pursue spiritual and social uplift for themselves and others to God's glory. Yet stories of faithful Black Christians have often been forgotten or minimized. The dynamic witness of the Black church in the United States is an essential part of Christian history that must be heard and dependably retold.
    In this groundbreaking two-volume work, Walter R. Strickland II does just that through a theological-intellectual history highlighting the ways theology has formed and motivated Black Christianity across the centuries. Through his original research he has identified five theological anchors grounding African Americans in Christian orthodoxy:
    
    - Big God
    - Jesus
    - Conversion and walking in the Spirit
    - The Good Book
    - Deliverance
    In volume 1, a narrative history, Strickland tells the story of these themes from the 1600s to the present. He explores the crucial ecclesiastical, social, and theological developments, including the rise of Black evangelicalism as well as broader contributions to politics and culture.
    Swing Low offers a defining rubric under which to observe, understand, and learn from the diverse and living entity that is African American Christianity. Volume 2, a companion anthology, covers the breadth of these historical developments by presenting primary-source documents so we can listen to Black Christianity in its own words.

    A detailed exploration of parents' fight for a safe environment for their kids, interrogating how race, class, and gender shape health advocacy 
     
     
     
    The success of food allergy activism in highlighting the dangers of foodborne allergens shows how illness communities can effectively advocate for the needs of their members. In Food Allergy Advocacy, Danya Glabau follows parents and activists as they fight for allergen-free environments, accurate labeling, the fair application of disability law, and access to life-saving medications for food-allergic children in the United States. At the same time, she shows how this activism also reproduces the culturally dominant politics of personhood and responsibility, based on an idealized version of the American family, centered around white, middle-class, and heteronormative motherhood. 
     
     
     
    By holding up the threat of food allergens to the white nuclear family to galvanize political and scientific action, Glabau shows, the movement excludes many, including Black women and disabled adults, whose families and health have too often been marginalized from public health and social safety net programs. Further, its strategies are founded on the assumption that market-based solutions will address issues of social exclusion and equal access to healthcare.
