  The Religion of Whiteness - How...

  Recent years have seen a growing recognition of the role that White Christian Nationalism plays in American society. As White Christian Nationalism has become a major force, and as racial and religious attitudes become increasingly aligned among whites—for example, the more likely you are to say that the decline of white people as a share of the population is "bad for society," the more likely you are to believe the government should support religious values—it has become reasonable to wonder which of the adjectives in the phrase "White Christian Nationalism" takes precedence. 
   
   
   
  In this book, Michael O. Emerson and Glenn E. Bracey II respond definitively: the answer is "white." The majority of white Christians in America, they argue, are believers in a "Religion of Whiteness" that shapes their faith, their politics, and more. The Religion of Whiteness, they argue, raises the perpetuation of racial inequality to a level of spiritual commitment that rivals followers' commitment to Christianity itself. 
   
   
   
  Using national survey data, in-depth interviews, and focus group results gathered over several years, Emerson and Bracey show how the Religion of Whiteness shapes the practice of Christianity for millions of Americans—and what can be done to confront it.

  The global debt crisis is one of the most pressing issues of our time, affecting nations, corporations, and individuals alike. Over the past several decades, debt has skyrocketed across the world, creating a complex web of financial obligations that have far-reaching consequences. As debt levels soar, the very foundations of economic stability are being threatened, with severe implications for future generations. This book seeks to explore the various dimensions of the global debt crisis and its impact on societies and economies. 
  At the heart of the issue lies the interconnectedness of global economies. In today’s world, financial markets, international trade, and political systems are all intricately linked. A debt crisis in one country can quickly spread to others, as seen in past global financial meltdowns. The global economy operates as a delicate balance, where debt plays a central role in fueling growth. However, when debt becomes excessive, it can destabilize entire financial systems, leading to recessions, defaults, and social upheaval. This is particularly true for countries and corporations that rely heavily on borrowing to maintain their operations and growth. 
  This book will provide an in-depth look at the causes, consequences, and potential solutions to the global debt crisis. From national debt and the borrowing practices of governments to the rising levels of consumer and corporate debt, each section will explore the different aspects of debt that contribute to this growing problem. Understanding the dynamics of debt is crucial for comprehending the broader economic trends and risks that shape the modern world.

  Celestial Promise

  Hayley Ann Solomon

  • 0
  • 0

  In this collection of poetry, written over half a lifetime, Hayley Ann Solomon focuses primarily on the pursuit of excellence, immortality achieved through finite life, love in all its forms, and social justice. As it waxes and wanes, the collection cycles through sequences of lyrical ballads, sonnets, elegies, haiku, snippets of nonsensical verse; all blended with a substantial dose of existential philosophy and social comment. 
  The collection covers a full spectrum, from the darkest psycho-social moments, to zeniths of absolute joy. The liberal use of consonance, assonance, alliteration, echoes and half-echoes, rhyme and cross-rhyme make for a style rich in sound-play. This, together with strong metrical awareness – very often iambic or trochaic pentameter and tetrameter – evokes a flow that is quite typically euphonic. There is therefore a sense of lyricism despite a broad diversity of topics and moods. 
  The anthology evolves to become a promise of regeneration, in synchrony with the phases of the moon, from which it takes its celestial title.
