Synopsis

Superfan Dedication explores the captivating world of extreme fandom, examining the psychological and social factors that drive individuals to dedicate themselves to a particular passion. This book delves into fan theories, obsessive collecting, and community movements, revealing how these activities fulfill fundamental human needs for connection and self-expression. One intriguing insight is how fan theories, often dismissed as mere speculation, actually represent deep engagement with media and foster vibrant online communities. Another area explored is the psychological reward derived from obsessive collecting, highlighting its impact on social dynamics. Using a blend of social science and psychology, the book analyzes group dynamics, social identity theory, and the impact of media culture to provide a nuanced perspective on the superfan phenomenon. It bridges disciplines like psychology, sociology, and media studies, offering a comprehensive understanding of individual psychological processes and broader social forces. Presenting evidence from sociological surveys, psychological case studies, and ethnographic observations, Superfan Dedication progresses from introducing core concepts to examining psychological drivers, social dimensions, and practical implications of understanding fandom. Ultimately, the book argues that extreme fandom is a normal and beneficial expression of human social and psychological needs, offering valuable insights into identity formation and community building. It aims to move beyond stereotypes, providing a balanced perspective on the motivations and experiences within fan communities, making it relevant to marketers, community organizers, and anyone curious about the superfan phenomenon.

    "An inspiring starting point for Christians looking to put their beliefs into action."--Publishers Weekly 
     
    Political and cultural wars are tearing communities apart. Issues such as immigration, racism, and guns are driving wedges between people and hampering Christians' impact in the world. 
     
    In Empowered to Repair, Brenda Salter McNeil looks to the biblical story of Nehemiah for answers. There, she finds an action-based model for repairing and rebuilding our communities and transforming broken systems. 
     
    McNeil goes beyond theories, offering practical tools Christians need for organizing, empowering, and activating people to join in God's work of equality, reparations, and justice. She provides strategies to drive systemic changes that go beyond superficial diversity and teaches the skills needed to engage in this important work long-term, such as organizing people, leveraging resources, and avoiding burnout through rest, prayer, and self-care. 
     
    Learning from Nehemiah, readers will be emboldened to go out and help build congregations, organizations, and communities where all people can flourish and reach their full, God-given potential.

    As a nurse I have been in situations where patients learned very bad news about the state of their health, news that was not received well by them, their families, or even their medical team. When preparing this book, my feelings were much the same as when I was in those situations. 
    The bad news about the health of our nation is, like cancer in a patient's body, communism (also known as "Marxism") has grown in the United States. Like cancer, it started with an unnoticed seed and grew insidiously with little sign or symptom. Now like cancer, communism is on the brink of overwhelming us. 
    Because I know that knowledge of their cancer is essential to my patient's first step towards survival, I believe that knowledge of our communism is essential to the United States of America's first step towards survival. So within this book, I describe: how I learned about the symptoms (The Real Communist Threat Witnessed); the disease (the Introduction and Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the Communist Manifesto); the signs and symptoms and the treatment and cure (Constitution versus Communist Manifesto: The War within America). 
    Extremist Socialists, also known as Communists, like Extremist/Radical Islamists believe their ends justify their means (that is: lying, cheating, stealing, and killing). Beware of their joint product, Interfaith Dialogue.

    From the Palestinian struggle against Israeli Apartheid, to First Nations' mass campaigns against pipeline construction in North America, Indigenous peoples are at the forefront of some of the crucial struggles of our age. Rich with their distinct histories and cultures, they are connected by the shared enemy they face: settler colonialism. 
     
     
     
    In this introduction to the subject, Sai Englert highlights the ways in which settler colonialism has and continues to shape our global economic and political order. From the rapacious accumulation of resources, land, and labor, through Indigenous dispossession and genocide, to the development of racism as a form of social control, settler colonialism is deeply connected to many of today's social ills. 
     
     
     
    To understand settler colonialism as an ongoing process, is therefore also to start engaging with contemporary social movements and solidarity campaigns differently. It is to start seeing how distinct struggles for justice and liberation are intertwined.

    In the summer of 1995, at the largest Boy Scout camp in Ohio, a night of sexual violence ended with one counselor dead and another hospitalized. The death was ruled "accidental." It wouldn't be the last death associated with Seven Ranges Reservation. 
     
     
     
    James Renner, too, was a counselor at Seven Ranges that year. He was always sure there must be more to the story of Mike Klingler's death, because Renner also knew firsthand that the 900-acre camp was not the safe getaway it was portrayed to be. On Friday nights the boys were ushered into the woods for a frightening ceremony in which they learned the rules for becoming good young men—and, above all, that keeping secrets was a scout's duty. No matter how dark the secrets were. 
     
     
     
    Determined to face his demons, Renner embarks on a journey back to that tumultuous summer and exposes a clandestine society that left indelible scars on the scouts and the staff who were there. For Renner himself, it meant opening up about his twisted upbringing, his issues with trust and sexuality, and a lifetime of self-medication. The result is a deeply personal, no-holds-barred, and vitally important true crime memoir.
