"O where are the sympathies of Christians for the slave and where are their exertions for their liberation? . . . It seems as if the church were asleep."David Ingraham, 1839In 2015, the historian Chris Momany helped discover a manuscript that had been forgotten in a storage closet at Adrian College in Michigan. He identified it as the journal of a nineteenth-century Christian abolitionist and missionary, David Ingraham. As Momany and a fellow historian Doug Strong pored over the diary, they realized that studying this document could open new conversations for twenty-first-century Christians to address the reality of racism today. They invited a multiracial team of fourteen scholars to join in, thus launching the Dialogue on Race and Faith Project.Awakening to Justice presents the groundbreaking work of these scholars. In addition to reflecting on Ingrahams journal, chapters also explore the life and writings of two of Ingrahams Black colleagues, James Bradley and Nancy Prince. Appendixes feature writings by all three abolitionists so readers can engage the primary sources directly.Through considering connections between the revivalist, holiness, and abolitionist movements; the experiences of enslaved and freed people; abolitionists spiritual practices; various tactics used by abolitionists; and other themes, the authors offer insight and hope for Christians concerned about racial justice. They highlight how Christians associated with Charles Finneys style of revivalism formed intentional, countercultural communities such as Oberlin College to be exemplars of interracial cooperation and equality.Christians have all too often compromised with racism throughout history, but thats not the whole story. Hearing the prophetic witness of revivalist social justice efforts in the nineteenth century can provide a fresh approach to todays conversations about race and faith in the church.

Dan Morrison has unearthed a fabulous true-crime story and embedded it within a fascinating work of micro history. David Grann has competition. - Robert Twigger, author of Walking the Great North LineA crowded train platform. A painful jolt to the arm. A mysterious fever. And a fortune in the balance. Welcome to a Calcutta murder so diabolical in planning, modern in conception, and cold in execution that it made headlines from London to Sydney to New York.In The Prince and the Poisoner, Dan Morrison unravels the gruesome tale of two warring brothers, set amidst the febrile atmosphere of Jazz Age India. It is the story of a city and an empire on the cusp of cataclysmic change, capturing a moment when centuries-old assumptions and expressions of power become forever altered for Indians and Englishmen alike.Moving at the pace of a thriller, Morrisons investigation of a riveting fratricide among Indias rural aristocracy pulls the reader on a journey from Calcutta to Bombay, through feudal estates, viceregal balls, police interrogation cells and colonial courtrooms a world of movies, dancing, protest and revolutionary violence.

How will Ireland redress its legacy of institutional abuse? What constitutes justice? What is Transitional Justice? How might democracy evolve if survivors experiences and expertise were allowed to lead the response to a century of gender- and family separation-based abuses? REDRESS: Irelands Institutions and Transitional Justice seeks the answers. This collection explores the ways in which Ireland North and South treats those who suffered in Magdalene Laundries, Mother and Baby Homes, County Homes, industrial and reformatory schools, and in a closed and secretive adoption system, over the last 100 years. The essays focus on the structures which perpetuated widespread and systematic abuses in the past and consider how political arrangements continue to exert power over survivors, adopted people and generations of relatives, as well as controlling the remains and memorialisation of the dead. As we mark the centenary of both jurisdictions on the island of Ireland, REDRESS: Irelands Institutions and Transitional Justice forensically examines the two states so-called redress schemes and investigations, and the statements of apology that accompanied them. With diverse and interdisciplinary perspectives, this collection considers how a Transitional Justice-based, survivor-centred, approach might assist those personally affected, policy makers, the public, and academics to evaluate the complex ways in which both the Republic and Northern Ireland (and other states in a comparative context) have responded to their histories of institutionalisation and family separation. Importantly, the essays collected in REDRESS: Irelands Institutions and Transitional Justice seek to offer avenues by which to redress this legacy of continuing harms.The Editors are donating all royalties in the name of survivors and all those affected by Irelands carceral institutions and family separation to the charity Empowering People in Care (EPIC).

The Falklands Saga presents abundant evidence from hundreds of pages of documents in archives and libraries in Buenos Aires, La Plata, Montevideo, London, Cambridge, Stanley, Paris, Munich and Washington DC, some never printed before, many printed here for the first time, in English and, where different, in their original languages, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Latin or Dutch. It provides the facts to correct the fallacies and distortions in accounts by earlier authors.It reveals persuasive evidence that the Falklands were discovered by a Portuguese expedition at the latest around 1518-19, and not by Vespucci or Magellan.It demonstrates conclusively that the Anglo-Spanish agreement of 1771 did not contain a reservation of Spanish rights, that Britain did not make a secret promise to abandon the islands, and that the Nootka Sound Convention of 1790 did not restrict Britains rights in the Falklands, but greatly extended them at the expense of Spain.For the first time ever, the despairing letters from the Falklands written in German in 1824 to Louis Vernet by his brother Emilio are printed here in full, in both the original German and in English translation, revealing the total chaos of the abortive 1824 Argentine expedition to the islands.This book reveals how tiny the Argentine settlement in the islands was in 1826-33. In April 1829 there were only 52 people, and there was a constant turnover of population; many people stayed only a few months, and the population reached its maximum of 128 only for a few weeks in mid-1831 before declining to 37 people at the beginning of 1833.This work also refutes the falsehood that Britain expelled an Argentine population from the Falklands in 1833. That myth has been Argentinas principal propaganda weapon since the 1960s in its attempts to undermine Falkland Islanders right to self-determination. In fact Britain encouraged the residents to stay, and only a handful left the islands.A crucial document printed here is the 1850 Convention of Peace between Argentina and Britain. At Argentinas insistence, this was a comprehensive peace treaty which restored "perfect friendship" between the two countries. Critical exchanges between the Argentine and British negotiators are printed here in detail, which show that Argentina dropped its claim to the Falklands and accepted that the islands are British. That, and the many later acts by Argentina described here, definitively ended any Argentine title to the islands.The islands history is placed in its world context, with detailed accounts of the First Falklands Crisis of 1764-71, the Second Falklands Crisis of 1831-3, the Years of Confusion (1811-1850), and the Third Falklands Crisis of 1982 (the Falklands War), as well as a Falklands perspective on the First and Second World Wars, including the Battle of the Falklands (1914) and the Battle of the River Plate (1939), with extensive details and texts from German sources.The legal status of the Falklands is analysed by reference to legal works, to United Nations resolutions on decolonisation, and to rulings by the International Court of Justice, which together demonstrate conclusively that the islands are British territory in international law and that the Falkland Islanders, who have now (2024) lived in their country for over 180 years and for nine generations, are a unique people who are holders of territorial sovereignty with the full right of external self-determination.

The 29 April 1864 Battle of Pukehinahina-Gate P resulted in the astonishing defeat of a force of 1700 Imperial British soldiers, sailors and a few militia, who were supported by the largest artillery battery assembled at any time during the New Zealand Wars. Their defeat was at the hands of a group of Mori irregulars just over 200 strong. Victory at Gate P? examines, in exquisite detail, the historical background to the battle, the battle itself and the subsequent Battle of Te Ranga, and the aftermath that saw 50,000 acres of prime land confiscated and a people driven into poverty and despair. The battle of Gate P was a defining moment in New Zealand history that had repercussions for Mori landownership and the notion of sovereignty. Although Mori technically won the battle in a humiliating defeat of the British troops, long-term they were to see thousands of acres of their land confiscated.

The first volume is devoted to Canada, the second to the United States. Lambert landed at Quebec in October 1806. He furnishes a picture of the place of that date, and describes the social manners, dress and political events which were happening, with more than the usual care bestowed by the passing traveller. Much of his historical narrative, however, is not in accordance with fact, having been disproved by authentic document . From Quebec he visited Three Rivers and Montreal, and ascending Lake Champlain entered the United States. Lambert remained at Quebec from November 1806 to August 1807. He came back to Canada in 1808, in order to obtain a passage home. We learn from this work that at this date, both at Quebec and Montreal, the theatre had been established and performances periodically given. His account does not suggest that the acting was of a high order.

This reprint of John Daviss "Travels of Four Years and a Half in the United States of America" (during 1798, 1799, 1800, 1801 and 1802) is a welcome addition to the list of foreign impressions of the republic in the days of its youth, now being made accessible to others than the bibliophile. Unlike most of his compeers, Davis cared naught for the commonplace anecdotes of the traveler or for the political and statistical observations that crowd the pages of those whose humor, as the author himself remarks, " bears no proportion to their morbid drowsiness." He does not describe his meals, complain of his bed, draw pictures of ruins, " accumulate magnificent epithets " or lose himself in figures. A sort of literary tramp, he wandered afoot through a great part of the fifteen states, recording what he saw and heard and did with a spicy freedom of expression and a cheery abundance of allusion to writers of prose and verse which make his book eminently readable. John Davis was one of the most observant of our early visitors, and his comments on men and things are very well worth reading. His accounts of his life in South Carolina, in Washington, Philadelphia and in Virginia are of especial interest. He visited Alexandria, Occoquan, Colchester and other places in that section, heard Parson Weems preach at Pohick, and taught school in Prince William County for several months.

A sweeping history of the Age of Reason, which shows how, although it was a time of progress in many areas, it was also an era of brutality and intolerance, by the author of The Borgias and The Florentines.During the 1600s, between the end of the Renaissance and the start of the Enlightenment, Europe lived through an era known as the Age of Reason. This was a revolutionary period which saw great advances in areas such as art, science, philosophy, political theory and economics.However, all this was accomplished against a background of extreme political turbulence and irrational behaviour on a continental scale in the form of internal conflicts and international wars. Indeed, the Age of Reason itself was born at the same time as the Thirty Years War, which would devastate central Europe to an extent that would not be seen again until the twentieth century.The period also saw the development of European empires across world and a lucrative new transatlantic commerce began, which brought transformative riches to western European society. However, there was a dark underside to this brilliant wealth: it was dependent upon mass slavery. By exploring all the key events and bringing to life some of the most influential characters of the era, including Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Newton, Descartes, Spinoza, Louis XIV and Charles I, Paul Strathern tells the story of this paradoxical age, while also counting the human cost of imposing the progress and modernity upon which the Western world was built.

In "The History of Moors in Spain," Stanley Lane-Poole presents a meticulously researched narrative that illuminates the rich cultural and historical tapestry woven by the Moors in the Iberian Peninsula. With a blend of scholarly rigor and engaging prose, Lane-Poole delves into the intricacies of Islamic influence from the 8th to the 15th centuries, exploring the multifaceted contributions of the Moors to architecture, science, and philosophy. The book adeptly contextualizes this era within the broader framework of medieval history, demonstrating how the coexistence of diverse cultures created a unique environment of intellectual and artistic flourishing. Stanley Lane-Poole, a prominent British historian and archaeologist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was deeply interested in the intersection of cultures and civilizations. His scholarly background in Arabic studies and his extensive travels through Spain and North Africa imbued him with a profound appreciation for the Moorish heritage. This personal journey is reflected in his writing, as he strives to offer a balanced perspective that counters simplistic narratives about the Islamic presence in Europe. For readers intrigued by the complexities of cultural exchange and historical narratives, "The History of Moors in Spain" is an indispensable text. Lane-Pooles erudition invites modern audiences to engage with the intricate legacy of the Moors, fostering a deeper understanding of their enduring impact on Spanish identity and European history.

In "Salem Witchcraft (Vol. 1&2)," Charles Wentworth Upham meticulously delves into the harrowing events of the 1692 Salem witch trials, illuminating the intricate interplay of superstition, societal fear, and religious fervor that instigated one of the most notorious episodes in American colonial history. UphamAos scholarly approach combines vivid narrative with a rigorous examination of historical documents, providing readers with a profound insight into the minds of the accused, the accusers, and the societal structures that enabled this tragic chapter. His literary style echoes the 19th-century romanticism while being firmly rooted in empirical research, making it a seminal work in both witchcraft studies and American history. Upham, a prominent historian and a member of the Massachusetts legislature, was profoundly influenced by his profound belief in justice and moral rectitude, which motivated his commitment to uncovering the truth behind the injustices of the trials. His passion for historical inquiry, evident in his academic pursuits at Harvard, compelled him to confront and analyze the moral complexities surrounding the Salem trials, ensuring the voices of the victims were not lost to time. I highly recommend "Salem Witchcraft" for anyone interested in understanding the societal dynamics of fear and hysteria. UphamAos exhaustive research and compelling narrative illuminate the lessons of the past, making this work essential for historians, students, and general readers alike.

In "Life Among the Piutes," Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins presents a compelling autobiographical account that intricately weaves personal narrative with a broader historical context. Through her vivid prose, Hopkins explores the struggles and resilience of the Northern Paiute people amid the encroachment of Euro-American settlers. The text serves as both a sociocultural document and a poignant critique of U.S. government policies impacting Native American tribes, thus placing it within the tradition of Indigenous literature that seeks to reclaim voice and agency in the face of colonial injustices. Winnemuccas eloquent storytelling is interspersed with cultural teachings, providing an educational lens into the rich practices and beliefs of her people. Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins, an influential figure and one of the first Native American women to publish a book in the United States, drew from her own experiences as an educator and advocate for Native American rights. Her passion for justice and preservation of her culture stems from her familys history and her firsthand experiences with the devastating consequences of U.S. territorial expansion. Winnemuccas intermingling of memoir and cultural history makes her work not only personal but also representative of the wider Native American narrative. I highly recommend "Life Among the Piutes" for readers interested in Indigenous perspectives, historical narratives, and the intersection of personal and collective identity. This profound work challenges assumptions and enriches understanding of the complexity of Native American experiences, making it essential reading for scholars, students, and anyone seeking to engage with the voices of marginalized communities.In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience:- A succinct Introduction situates the works timeless appeal and themes.- The Synopsis outlines the central plot, highlighting key developments without spoiling critical twists.- A detailed Historical Context immerses you in the eras events and influences that shaped the writing.- A thorough Analysis dissects symbols, motifs, and character arcs to unearth underlying meanings.- Reflection questions prompt you to engage personally with the works messages, connecting them to modern life.- Handpicked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance.- Interactive footnotes clarify unusual references, historical allusions, and archaic phrases for an effortless, more informed read.
