Awakening to Justice - Faithful...

Estrelda Y. Alexander,...

"O where are the sympathies of Christians for the slave and where are their exertions for their liberation? . . . It seems as if the church were asleep."
David Ingraham, 1839
In 2015, the historian Chris Momany helped discover a manuscript that had been forgotten in a storage closet at Adrian College in Michigan. He identified it as the journal of a nineteenth-century Christian abolitionist and missionary, David Ingraham. As Momany and a fellow historian Doug Strong pored over the diary, they realized that studying this document could open new conversations for twenty-first-century Christians to address the reality of racism today. They invited a multiracial team of fourteen scholars to join in, thus launching the Dialogue on Race and Faith Project.
Awakening to Justice presents the groundbreaking work of these scholars. In addition to reflecting on Ingraham's journal, chapters also explore the life and writings of two of Ingraham's Black colleagues, James Bradley and Nancy Prince. Appendixes feature writings by all three abolitionists so readers can engage the primary sources directly.
Through considering connections between the revivalist, holiness, and abolitionist movements; the experiences of enslaved and freed people; abolitionists' spiritual practices; various tactics used by abolitionists; and other themes, the authors offer insight and hope for Christians concerned about racial justice. They highlight how Christians associated with Charles Finney's style of revivalism formed intentional, countercultural communities such as Oberlin College to be exemplars of interracial cooperation and equality.
Christians have all too often compromised with racism throughout history, but that's not the whole story. Hearing the prophetic witness of revivalist social justice efforts in the nineteenth century can provide a fresh approach to today's conversations about race and faith in the church.

The Great Famine of 1896-1897 -...

Sarah Willards

The Great Famine of 1896-1897 was one of the most devastating periods of hunger and suffering in colonial India. Spanning across large regions, particularly in the Deccan Plateau, this famine marked a tragic chapter in the history of British colonial rule. It resulted in the death of hundreds of thousands of people, although the exact number remains disputed due to the limited data available from that era. 
This famine was not an isolated event but part of a larger pattern of food scarcity issues that India faced under British colonial governance. However, the 1896-1897 famine stood out due to the scale of its impact, the widespread malnutrition it caused, and the delayed and ineffective relief efforts by the British authorities. The failure to provide adequate assistance and the harsh economic policies implemented during this period are considered by many as contributing factors to the famine’s severity. 
The environmental conditions in India played a significant role in the famine. A series of poor monsoons coupled with crop failures resulted in a severe food shortage. However, the effects of the famine were compounded by British policies that prioritized export of food grains from India to feed the empire’s industrial needs. This practice exacerbated food scarcity in the affected regions, leaving local populations without the resources they needed to survive.

We all have memories of our favorite encounters. They exist like dark little red rooms lining the corners of the hallways of our minds. Some are revisited often, others we happen upon when it is least expected, interrupting your thoughts like little pangs in the middle of a conversation. It's easy to want to revisit those rooms again and again, and at the same time, there's this desire to keep them untouched and sacred. 
These are brief, re-tellings of my favorite pang-inducing erotic memories. Some of them haven't happened yet, others are so etched into my psyche that they'll always be a part of this house. 
Enjoy.

By examining the historical trajectories, contemporary challenges, and future possibilities of urban design, this book illuminates the intricate processes that shape our collective living spaces. Readers will journey through the strategic thinking, technological innovations, social considerations, and visionary approaches that transform abstract concepts into tangible urban landscapes—revealing how thoughtful planning can address critical issues like sustainability, social equity, technological integration, and quality of life in an increasingly urbanized world.
