Summary

What role can the humanities play in shaping our common future? What are the values that guide us in the 21st century? How can we unleash the potential the humanities offer in a time of multiple crises? This volume tackles some of these fundamental questions, acknowledging and developing the changing role of academic discourse in a turbulent world. This timely book argues that the humanities engender conceptual tools that are capable of reconciling theory and practice. In a bold move, we call for the humanities to reach beyond the confines of universities and engage in the most urgent debates facing humanity today - in a multidisciplinary, transformative, and constructive way. This is a blueprint for how societal change can be inclusive and equitable for the good of humans and non-humans alike.

    The New Slave Masters

    It's SLAVERY all over again! The New Slavemasters that are destroying hopes and dreams in families and relationships are even more threatening than their whip-wielding predecessors. These new Slavemasters’ evil-rooted forces – drugs, gangs, violence, racism, materialism, deception, teen pregnancy, and sexual promiscuity – still WALK AND LIVE AMONG US. 
    Nearly two centuries ago, Satan used mankind’s deeply rooted sin that resulted in humanity enslaving a race of God’s creation—African-Americans. In this new day when African-Americans enjoy complete freedom, there are new, insidious Slavemasters that work outside civilized law and labor to ensnare black families —and for that matter, families of all races. 
    This book provides a blueprint for restoration and strengthening of African American families. The term, The New Slavemasters, comes from my experiences of present-day enslavement of prevailing temptations and devastation of plagues that wrought the inner city suburbs in my community, resulting in self-imposed slavery and family destruction. When Christians [born-again] and non-Christians fail to recognize the bondage and break the chains that destroy our entire nation, they lose their freedom and volunteer to re-enter into forms of slavery. 
    This entire book helps give awareness of how to break free from and remain free of The New Slavemasters. Reader’s Study Guide, Chapter notes, questions and answers, true stories and illustrations are inserted to support and encourage Bible-study groups, scriptural understanding, and prayer devotions against the assault of the new Slavemasters. 
    The book begins with a mother trying desperately to save her son’s life that was impacted by drugs and “dirty” (drug) money. But, in the endless struggle to free her son from these new Slavemasters’ hold on him, tragedy occurs – he dies before her very eyes.

    We all want the power and motivation to create change in our lives. But how to get that in a stumbling dance of one step forward and two steps back? Negative emotions run rampant in many people’s lives today; a reality that feels like a shrink wrap of suffering. Popular fallback “solutions” of performance-based goals and tools focus on extrinsic rewards like fame, wealth, or winning. But overuse of those rewards doesn’t work for the long term and in fact weakens our confidence and motivation over time, leaving us vulnerable to failure and shame.It doesn’t have to be that way. Through three decades of researching and tracking such universal struggles to change our behavior, Dr. Kyra Bobinet unveils the way out, using novel neuroscience research on a compelling new brain area, the habenula. In this book, she reveals the habenula’s powerful role in killing our motivation and causing anxiety and depression and offers a foolproof way to escape its clutches.

    Growing up in a prosperous neighborhood, B. Morrison was taught that poverty was a product of laziness and public assistance programs only rewarded irresponsibility. However, when her marriage soured, she abruptly found herself an impoverished single mother. Disowned by her parents and facing destitution for herself and her two small sons, she was forced to accept the handout so disdained by her parents and their world: welfare. This dramatic memoir tells how one woman finds and grasps the lifeline that ultimately enables her to become independent. Innocent offers a powerful personal narrative on important social issues. Part coming-of-age story and part immersion in a different culture, this book puts a human face on poverty.
