Synopsis

Willis Fletcher Johnson's "The History of Cuba" (Volumes 1-5) presents an exhaustive narrative that weaves together the rich tapestry of Cuba's past from its indigenous roots to its colonial complexities. Johnson employs a meticulous blend of chronological storytelling and critical analysis, delving into political, economic, and social themes that have shaped the island nation. His scholarly approach is enriched with primary sources and contemporaneous accounts, making the work not only informative but also a valuable contribution to Latin American historiography. The volumes reflect a deep understanding of Cuba's unique position within the Caribbean context, grappling with themes of identity, sovereignty, and resistance. As an accomplished historian and writer, Johnson's passion for Cuban history likely stemmed from both his extensive travels in Latin America and his commitment to documenting the often-overlooked narratives of marginalized populations. His academic background feeds into his narrative style, allowing readers to engage with complex historical debates while still appreciating the human aspects of the stories told. Johnson's objective is to illuminate the impactful moments that have defined Cuba'Äôs socio-political landscape, rendering a work that resonates with both scholars and the general public. This comprehensive history is crucial for anyone looking to understand Cuba's multifaceted identity and its place in world history. Johnson invites readers into a compelling exploration that spans centuries, encouraging a critical reflection on historical legacy while offering insights relevant to contemporary discussions. Whether you are a student of history, a cultural enthusiast, or simply curious about Cuba, this meticulously crafted series is an invaluable resource that will deepen your understanding of the island's enduring significance.

"A forceful call to recognize the roots of American inequality and a solid starting point for Christians who want to help fix them."--Publishers Weekly 
 
Racism is not about hate and ignorance. It's about greed. And it always has been. 
 
Black Christian historian Malcolm Foley explores this powerful idea in The Anti-Greed Gospel, showing how the desire for power and money--what some call "racial capitalism"--drives violence and exploitation across American history. In this book, you'll discover 
 
● how greed historically gave birth to racial categories and systemic oppression, 
● the connection between economic exploitation and racial violence, 
· lessons from historical figures like Ida B. Wells on resistance and truth-telling, 
● practical steps for building communities of deep economic solidarity, and 
● biblical foundations for combating racial capitalism through gospel values. 
 
Foley reviews the history of racial violence in the United States and connects the killings of modern-day Black Americans to the history of lynching in America. He challenges the contemporary church to wrestle with crucial questions: How can we become communities that show generosity and resist greed? What is the next step in the journey toward racial justice? 
 
Readers will gain tools to resist greed that exploits others, love their neighbors more completely, and build communities rooted in deep solidarity, anti-violence, and truth-telling.

Events in our lives, both good and bad, form rings in us like the rings in a tree. Each ring records memories that affect our feelings, our relationships, and our thoughts about God. 
In this classic work, David Seamands encourages us to live compassionately with ourselves as we allow the Holy Spirit to heal our past. As he helps us name hurdles in our lives—such as guilt, poor self-worth, and perfectionism—he shows us how we can find freedom from our pain and enjoy the abundant life God wants for us.
