Old New Zealand - A Tale of the Good Old Times And a History of the War in the North against the Chief Heke in the Year 1845

Frederick Edward Maning

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "Old New Zealand," Frederick Edward Maning presents a vivid and personal account of early colonial life in New Zealand, intertwining sharp observation with rich narrative detail. Written in a compelling prose style that reflects Maning'Äôs deep engagement with both MƒÅori and European cultures, the book serves as a vital historical document. Maning's perspective as a settler in the 1830s provides a unique lens on the complexities of cultural interactions, idiomatic language, and the evolving social landscape, championing nuances often overlooked in colonial literature. Through his accounts, he captures the essence of MƒÅori customs and European settlement, contributing to the broader discourse on colonialism in the Pacific region. Frederick Edward Maning, an Irishman who settled in New Zealand in the early 19th century, was a trader and landholder whose experiences placed him at the confluence of MƒÅori and PƒÅkehƒÅ worlds. His firsthand experiences informed this narrative, reflecting a fusion of admiration and criticism of both cultures. Maning'Äôs deep appreciation for MƒÅori culture arises perhaps from his long-standing relationships and keen observations during a transformative period in New Zealand's history. "Old New Zealand" is a must-read for anyone interested in colonial history, cultural studies, or the intricacies of MƒÅori-PƒÅkehƒÅ relations. Maning'Äôs rich storytelling not only educates but also immerses readers in the historical tapestry of early New Zealand, making it a significant contribution to the literature of the Pacific.

Prophesy Deliverance! - An...

Cornel West, Johnathan Lee Walton

In this, his premiere work, Cornel West challenges African Americans to consider the incorporation of Marxism into their theological perspectives, thereby adopting the mindset that it is class more so than race that renders one powerless in America. His work reflects political and cultural perspectives borne out of his own formative life experiences. Decades later, his arguments continue to capture the theological imagination of many and influence the critical engagement of generations of scholars. 
 
 
 
In this fortieth anniversary edition, West invites six prominent scholars—whose respective work are grounded in various aspects of black political, cultural, and theological thought—into dialogue with this work, each writing one chapter plus a foreword by Jonathan Lee Walton. Continuing and expanding on the revolutionary discourses that West introduced in the first published work, each new essay provides nuanced lens for thinking about movements of liberation in today's African American communities.

God-Given or Bust - Defeating...

Cheryl K. Chumley, Pastor Jack...

In America, either rights come from God—or they don't. This is the ultimate war, and God-Given or Bust tells how patriots can win. 
 
 
 
American exceptionalism is rooted in the idea that individual rights come from God and government is only in place to preserve and protect those rights. But America's losing sight of that concept. America's turning into a country where the government grants rights and privileges to only those the government deems worthy—and takes them from those it deems unworthy. This is not how the Founding Fathers envisioned the nation; this is not how the concept of inalienable rights coming from a Creator works. Rather, this is how Marxism, communism, and collectivism spread. 
 
 
 
If we want a nation that's free for generations to come, then we must reclaim the notion of God-given and ditch the idea of government-granted. The only way to do that is for Americans of faith to rise up and inject biblical values and godly principles into government, culture, and society, and put God once again at the center. It's time to demand the God-given—or the great American experiment will come to an end.

Utah War The: The History of the...

Editors Charles River

Joseph Smith’s death was one of the catalysts for the Mormons’ great migration to Utah, and today that state and the Mormons are virtually synonymous. To this day, Mormons still form a majority of the population, and members of the Church have prominent political and economic roles. Both of Utah’s U.S. Senators, Mike Lee and Mitt Romney, are Mormons, as is Governor Gary Herbert. The story of the Mormon pioneers and the trail they trod is one of the great stories of the westward expansion of the United States. Frenchman Hyppolite Taine wrote of the migration in romantic terms in the 1860s: “Since the exodus of the Israelites there is no example of so great a religious emigration executed across such great spaces in spite of such obstacles, by so great a number of men, with so much order, obedience, courage, patience, and devotion…But the mainsprings of this great will was faith. Without it men would not have done such things. These exiles thought that they were founding the city of God, the metropolis of mankind. They considered themselves the renovators of the world. Let us remember our youth, and with what force an idea...merely by the fact that it seems good and true to us hurls us forward despite natural egotism, daily weakness, habits that we have contracted, surrounding prejudices, and accumulated obstacles! We don’t know of what we are capable.”
The Mormon response to the federal government and the Buchanan administration in 1857 and 1858 was shaped by the faith’s experience of previous conflicts, which had included an extermination order proclaimed by the governor of Missouri against Mormons, the murder of Smith, and a massacre of Mormon men and boys. As a result, when things came to a head in Utah, the Mormons were more willing to fight.
