Summary

The Colored Patriots of the American Revolution is a profound exploration of the unheralded contributions of African American soldiers and activists during one of the pivotal moments in American history. This anthology weaves together narrative and analysis, offering a wide range of literary styles from historical storytelling to reflective essays. Each piece collectively enriches the overarching theme of unrecognized valor and the pursuit of liberty. The diversity in this collection not only highlights various literary voices but also sheds light on lesser-known narratives of courage and resilience during the American Revolution. Edited collaboratively by Harriet Beecher Stowe and William Cooper Nell, the book stands at the intersection of abolitionist literature and historical documentation, echoing the ethos of 19th-century reformist zeal. Stowe, renowned for her evocative prose, and Nell, a pioneering African American writer and activist, bring together documentation that aligns with the growing discourse of civil rights and emancipation. Their backgrounds in abolitionism enhance the anthology's impact, offering a unique perspective that challenges conventional narratives and aligns with broader movements for racial equality and historical recognition. Readers will find The Colored Patriots of the American Revolution an indispensable resource for its illuminating perspectives and its diverse compilation of styles and themes. This anthology is a scholarly treasure that facilitates a deeper discourse on the overlooked dimensions of American history, fostering a deeper appreciation for the multiplicity of voices that contributed to shaping the nation. It invites readers to engage thoughtfully with the text and appreciate the historical richness and complexity the anthology offers, both as an educational tool and a catalyst for further exploration into the nuanced fabric of America's past.

    Undoing Manifest Destiny -...

    Reckoning with the Colonial Past to Bring Justice to the Present
    As White settlers spread across North America, they crafted and enacted an epic story of their God-given dominion—over the land, over Indigenous nations, and over the future. Their narrative constructed a myth of innocence that justified a massive program of violence and dispossession by suppressing a darker history. That history still reverberates today, from settler America's relations with the Indigenous nations of the United States to ways the land has been commodified as property. It's time for the whole truth to be told.
    In Undoing Manifest Destiny, L. Daniel Hawk exposes the belief systems and practices that settlers developed to justify the displacement, destruction, and cultural erasure of Indigenous peoples, beginning in the early American colonial period and extending to the present day. Writing as the descendant of White settlers and as a biblical scholar, he challenges settler Christians to uncover what the settler narrative denies and to work toward addressing historic injustices.
    In this book, Hawk
    
    - combines settler colonial theory, historical analysis, and Christian theology to examine how settler America sought to erase Indigenous presence from lands taken by the United States and its colonial predecessors;
    - offers a decolonizing perspective that challenges the church to acknowledge its complicity with the colonial project and to enter into dialogue directed toward setting things right; and
    - highlights contemporary manifestations of colonialism in US interactions with its Indigenous citizens, demonstrating that past issues are still present and need to be addressed today.
    Hawk asserts that Christians were complicit with programs of erasure, and so Christians are called to confront and heal their residue today. Joining historical research with theology and biblical scholarship, Hawk helps us recognize the myths that shape the American imagination and to engage our faith for a better way forward.
    This book is an invaluable resource for scholars, educators, students, and readers invested in areas such as post- and de-colonial studies, race and ethnicity, United States history, and social justice. Deepen your understanding of history, confront unsettling truths, and work toward justice and healing with Undoing Manifest Destiny.

    The Invention of Scarcity -...

    With the publication of Essay on the Principle of Population and its projection of food shortages in the face of ballooning populations, British theorist Thomas Robert Malthus secured a leading role in modern political and economic thought. In this startling new interpretation, Deborah Valenze reveals how canonical readings of Malthus fail to acknowledge his narrow understanding of what constitutes food production. 
     
     
     
    Valenze returns to the eighteenth-century contexts that generated his arguments, showing how Malthus mobilized a redemptive narrative of British historical development and dismissed the ways that people adapted to the challenges of subsistence needs. She uses history, anthropology, and food studies to redirect our attention to the margins of Malthus's essay, where activities such as hunting and gathering were rendered extraneous. She demonstrates how Malthus's omissions and his subsequent canonization provided a rationale for colonial imposition of British agricultural models, regardless of environmental diversity. 
     
     
     
    By broadening our conception of human livelihoods, Valenze suggests pathways to resistance against the hegemony of Malthusian political economy. She invites us to imagine a world where monoculture is in retreat and the margins are recentered as spaces of experimentation, nimbleness, and human flourishing.

    An expert historian on Mary, Queen of Scots draws on hundreds of her encrypted letters to paint a vivid portrait of one of history's most compelling figures. 
     
     
     
    For almost two decades before her execution at Fotheringhay Castle in 1587, Mary, Queen of Scots was a prisoner. From her chambers, she wrote countless letters, many encrypted using complex ciphers to prevent her communications from being intercepted. In this way, she used language to exert her will and her influence, even while incarcerated. 
     
     
     
    More than four hundred years after Mary's death, the discovery of further encoded letters has led to renewed interest in the breadth of her correspondence while in captivity. 
     
     
     
    In Captive Queen: The Decrypted History of Mary, Queen of Scots, Jade Scott draws on hundreds of these ground-breaking letters to create a vivid picture of one of history's most fascinating personalities. She interprets Mary's complex relationships with friends and enemies alike throughout the years of her imprisonment, illuminating Mary's strategic vision while bringing her captivity to life like never before.
