Synopsis

In "The Hawaiian Literature," Nathaniel Bright Emerson presents a comprehensive exploration of the narrative tapestry of Hawaii, emphasizing the interplay of culture, language, and oral traditions that define its literary landscape. Through meticulous analysis and rich detail, Emerson compiles poetry, prose, and oral histories, employing a narrative style that is both scholarly and evocative. The work not only reflects the unique Hawaiian worldview but situates it within the broader context of 19th-century literature and ethnographic study, highlighting the tensions between indigenous traditions and colonial influences. Emerson, a prominent figure in the field of Hawaiian studies, was deeply influenced by his own experiences living in Hawaii and his passion for the preservation of its cultural heritage. His scholarly background as a physician and ethnologist equipped him with a distinctive perspective that enriched his understanding of Hawaiian customs and stories. Emerson's commitment to documenting and interpreting Hawaiian literature arose from a desire to honor and safeguard a vanishing cultural identity during a time of significant social change. This seminal work is essential for anyone interested in Pacific literature, cultural anthropology, or the historical narratives of indigenous peoples. Emerson's eloquent and insightful examination invites readers to engage with the profound beauty and complexity of Hawaiian literature, urging us to recognize the power of storytelling in understanding cultural identity.

    As society shifts its perspective on allyship—moving from being "not racist" to "anti-racist"—White allies are being called upon to work toward changing the status quo. However, the vast majority of resources on this topic emphasize educating allies about anti-racism without teaching them how to do anti-racism work. This leaves well-meaning allies feeling stuck, frustrated, and afraid of getting it wrong. Beyond Fragility fills this gap by providing a step-by-step approach to effective anti-racism allyship. This book provides you with the skills to: 
     
     
     
    ● Understand and avoid common mishaps in anti-racist work, such as misunderstanding racism, not knowing how to recognize racism, or not having a clear anti-racist identity 
     
     
     
    ● Cope with emotions like guilt, fear, hopelessness, and anger that may arise when discussing racism and privilege 
     
     
     
    ● Navigate interpersonal interactions, whether it's validating experiences of BIPOC peers, recovering from a racist misstep, or speaking out against racist comments 
     
     
     
    Anti-racist allyship is not an innate essence. But with this book, you can learn skills that allow you to engage in impactful and sustainable allyship in every space you occupy.

    Brazil’s industrial foundations were shaped by its colonial past, rich natural resources, and evolving economic policies. The country’s transition from an agrarian economy to an industrial powerhouse was a long and complex process influenced by global trade dynamics, government intervention, and social changes. Understanding these foundations provides insight into the rise and fall of Brazil’s economic giants. 
    The origins of Brazil’s economy date back to the colonial period under Portuguese rule. Initially, the country’s economic activities were centered around agriculture, particularly the production of sugarcane, which became the backbone of Brazil’s early commerce. The Portuguese established large sugar plantations, or engenhos, along the northeastern coast, relying heavily on enslaved labor from Africa. This agricultural-based economy set the stage for Brazil’s role as a key exporter of raw materials, a trend that would persist for centuries. As global demand for sugar declined in the 17th and 18th centuries, Brazil’s economy diversified into gold mining, particularly in the state of Minas Gerais. The discovery of gold and diamonds attracted European settlers and boosted trade, but much of the wealth was extracted by the Portuguese crown, limiting local reinvestment. The reliance on commodity exports, without substantial industrial development, created a pattern that continued into modern times. 
    Brazil’s shift toward industrialization began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, spurred by the decline of slavery, urbanization, and increasing foreign investment. The abolition of slavery in 1888 led to significant demographic changes, with many freed individuals moving to urban centers in search of work. Around the same time, European immigrants arrived in large numbers, bringing skills that contributed to Brazil’s growing workforce. The coffee boom of the late 19th century played a crucial role in financing Brazil’s early industries.

    Passion Plays - How Religion...

    Randall Balmer was a late convert to sports talk radio, but he quickly became addicted, just like millions of other devoted American sports fans. As a historian of religion, the more he listened, Balmer couldn’t help but wonder how the fervor he heard related to religious practice. Houses of worship once railed against Sabbath-busting sports events, but today most willingly accommodate Super Bowl Sunday. On the other hand, basketball’s inventor, James Naismith, was an ardent follower of Muscular Christianity and believed the game would help develop religious character. But today those religious roots are largely forgotten. 
     
    Here one of our most insightful writers on American religion trains his focus on that other great passion—team sports—to reveal their surprising connections. From baseball to basketball and football to ice hockey, Balmer explores the origins and histories of big-time sports from the late nineteenth century to the present, with entertaining anecdotes and fresh insights into their ties to religious life. Referring to Notre Dame football, the Catholic Sun called its fandom “a kind of sacramental.” Legions of sports fans reading Passion Plays will recognize exactly what that means.
