Sinossi

Zambezi River Rituals explores the profound spiritual connection between the Zambezi River and the communities along its banks. It examines how the river isn't just a geographical feature but a vibrant entity deeply embedded in African religious traditions, shaping local mythologies and sacred ceremonies. The book unveils the Zambezi's role as a sacred locale where ancestral spirits reside, facilitating interaction between the earthly and spiritual realms. One intriguing insight is how these spiritual beliefs influence environmental interactions and the daily lives of the people.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the Zambezi as both a physical and spiritual entity, then delving into its significance as a dwelling place for spirits, analyzing associated myths and legends, and exploring various rituals performed along its banks. Through ethnographic studies and oral histories, the author presents a holistic view of the river's spiritual ecology.

 
The study of the Zambezi River as a cultural keystone provides a unique lens for understanding the intersection of religious beliefs, social structures, and environmental stewardship in this History World region.

    She's never lost a hostage. Surely she can manage to take care of her sister. 
     
    FBI special agent Julianna Jameson is a top-notch negotiator, but when her much younger sister, Dottie, needs a place to live while she finishes high school, Julianna's skills will be put to the test. 
     
    Former sniper Clay Fox left the army after a tragic incident that he can't get past. Until he can figure out what to do with the rest of his life, he's working as a resource officer at a school. Dottie's school.  
     
    When Julianna is called in to negotiate a courtroom hostage situation involving Clay's sister, he's impressed--and, if he's honest, a bit intimidated--by the calm, capable woman with the dark hair and blue eyes, and invites her to speak at the school.  
     
    But as the anniversary of a school shooting from Julianna's past approaches, it becomes clear that her perfect record is about to be tested and that Dottie is at risk. If Julianna and Clay can't figure out who's behind the attacks, more innocent people will die--and Dottie is next in line. 
     
    "Expertly plotted and relentlessly paced. This high-octane thriller keeps up the momentum through the final page."--Publishers Weekly

    With the publication of his two early works, Black Theology & Black Power (1969) and A Black Theology of Liberation (1970), James Cone emerged as one of the most creative and provocative theological voices in North America. His books offered a searing indictment of white theology and society and introduced a radical presentation of the Christian message of our time. Combining the visions of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., Cone radically reappraised Christianity from the perspective of the oppressed black community in North America. Fifty years later, his work retains its original power.

    Ravage & Son reflects the lost world of Manhattan's Lower East Side—the cradle of Jewish immigration during the first years of the twentieth century—in a dark mirror. 
     
     
     
    Abraham Cahan, editor of the Jewish Daily Forward, serves as the conscience of the Jewish ghetto teeming with rogue cops and swindlers. He rescues Ben Ravage, an orphan, from a trade school and sends him off to Harvard to earn a law degree. But upon his return, Ben rejects the chance to escape his gritty origins and instead becomes a detective for the Kehilla, a quixotic gang backed by wealthy uptown patrons to help the police rid the Lower East Side of criminals. Charged with rooting out the Jewish "Mr. Hyde," a half-mad villain who attacks the prostitutes of Allen Street, Ben discovers that his fate is irrevocably tied to that of this violent, sinister man. 
     
     
     
    A lurid tale of revenge, this wildly evocative, suspenseful noir is vintage Jerome Charyn.
