  The Flag and the Cross - White...

  Most Americans were shocked by the violence they witnessed at the nation's Capital on January 6th, 2021. And many were bewildered by the images displayed by the insurrectionists: a wooden cross and wooden gallows; "Jesus saves" and "Don't Tread on Me;" Christian flags and Confederate Flags; even a prayer in Jesus's name after storming the Senate chamber. Where some saw a confusing jumble, Philip S. Gorski and Samuel L. Perry saw a familiar ideology: white Christian nationalism. 
   
   
   
  Gorski and Perry explain what white Christian nationalism is; when it first emerged and how it has changed; where it's headed and why it threatens democracy. Tracing the development of this ideology over the course of three centuries—and especially its influence over the last three decades—they show how, throughout American history, white Christian nationalism has animated the oppression, exclusion, and even extermination of minority groups while securing privilege for white Protestants. It enables white Christian Americans to demand "sacrifice" from others in the name of religion and nation, while defending their "rights" in the names of "liberty" and "property." 
   
  The future of American democracy will depend on whether a broad spectrum of Americans can unite in a popular front to combat the threat to liberal democracy posed by white Christian nationalism.

  hips engaged in trade in Asia were at risk from pirates, and shipwrecked sailors were at the mercy of locals. Additionally, American whaling ships came to dominate the whaling trade in the Pacific and were also vulnerable to piracy and to incidents when they docked at Pacific ports to refresh supplies. American warships investigated incidents of piracy, including occasional punitive expeditions to punish pirates or their maltreatment of shipwrecked sailors. 
  Given the distances involved, the captains of warships had a great deal of discretion to commit their ships to action as they saw fit. Before they left port, they were usually given deliberately broad instructions by the Secretary of the Navy or by the President. U.S. ships got to Asia by way of Cape Horn at the tip of South America, or by the Cape of Good Hope around southern Africa, as there was no Suez Canal to shorten the very long voyage until 1869, and there was no easy communication between Washington and California until the transcontinental telegraph in 1861. California became a state in 1850, and the Navy was quick to establish a naval base there, setting up the Mare Island Navy Yard base near San Francisco in 1854. The first warship constructed there was in 1859. 
  An American warship was involved in a punitive expedition in the Pacific as early as 1813-14 at Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas. American naval landing forces fought battles at Quallah Batoo in 1831 and at Muckee in 1839, both in Sumatra. The Navy was involved in a battle in the Gilbert Islands in 1841. The Navy sometimes cooperated with the Royal Navy in actions against pirates off the Chinese coast and was involved in fighting in China in the 1850s and 1860s. There were incidents when American warships were involved not only in China, but also Vietnam and Japan. Americans participated in the violence in Japan as the Shogunate fell and the Meiji restoration began.

  *Winner of the Lowell Thomas Award for Best Travel Book*  
  An American woman determined to learn the Arabic language travels to the Middle East to pursue her dream in this “witty memoir” (Us Weekly).  
  Join Zora O’Neill for a grand tour through the Middle East, to laugh with her in Egypt, delight in the stories she passes on from the Gulf region, and find yourself transformed by her experiences in Lebanon and Morocco. She’s packed her dictionaries, her unsinkable sense of humor, and her talent for making fast friends of strangers. From quiet, bougainvillea-lined streets to the lively buzz of crowded medinas, from families’ homes to local hot spots, she brings a part of the world that is often flattened by news headlines into real and colorful relief.    
  A natural storyteller with an eye for the deeply absurd and the deeply human, O’Neill explores the indelible links between culture and communication. A powerful testament to the dynamism of language, All Strangers Are Kin reminds us that learning another tongue leaves you rich with so much more than words. 
  “Zora O’Neill is a wonderful writer, a hakawati who can spin a tale with the best of them.” —Rabih Alameddine, author of The Hakawati and An Unnecessary Woman 
  “Wry, witty, and charmingly erudite, this lovely book goes through the looking glass of the Arabic language and emerges with a radiant image of the Arab world.” —Diana Abu-Jaber, author of Life Without a Recipe, Crescent, The Language of Baklava, and others
