To Wake the Nations by Eric J. Sundquist Pdf

Sundquist presents a major reevaluation of the formative years of American literature, 1830-1930, that shows how white and black literature constitute a single interwoven tradition. By examining African America's contested relation to the intellectual and literary forms of white culture, he reconstructs American literary tradition.

Unsettling Canada by Arthur Manuel,Grand Chief Ronald M. Derrickson Pdf

A Canadian bestseller and winner of the 2016 Canadian Historical Association Aboriginal History Book Prize, Unsettling Canada is a landmark text built on a unique collaboration between two First Nations leaders. Arthur Manuel (1951–2017) was one of the most forceful advocates for Indigenous title and rights in Canada; Grand Chief Ron Derrickson, one of the most successful Indigenous businessmen in the country. Together, they bring a fresh perspective and bold new ideas to Canada’s most glaring piece of unfinished business: the place of Indigenous peoples within the country’s political and economic space. This vital second edition features a foreword by award-winning activist Naomi Klein and an all-new chapter co-authored by Law professor Nicole Schabus and Manuel’s daughter, Kanahus, honouring the multi-generational legacy of the Manuel family’s work.

Why Nations Fail by Daron Acemoglu,James A. Robinson Pdf

Brilliant and engagingly written, Why Nations Fail answers the question that has stumped the experts for centuries: Why are some nations rich and others poor, divided by wealth and poverty, health and sickness, food and famine? Is it culture, the weather, geography? Perhaps ignorance of what the right policies are? Simply, no. None of these factors is either definitive or destiny. Otherwise, how to explain why Botswana has become one of the fastest growing countries in the world, while other African nations, such as Zimbabwe, the Congo, and Sierra Leone, are mired in poverty and violence? Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson conclusively show that it is man-made political and economic institutions that underlie economic success (or lack of it). Korea, to take just one of their fascinating examples, is a remarkably homogeneous nation, yet the people of North Korea are among the poorest on earth while their brothers and sisters in South Korea are among the richest. The south forged a society that created incentives, rewarded innovation, and allowed everyone to participate in economic opportunities. The economic success thus spurred was sustained because the government became accountable and responsive to citizens and the great mass of people. Sadly, the people of the north have endured decades of famine, political repression, and very different economic institutions—with no end in sight. The differences between the Koreas is due to the politics that created these completely different institutional trajectories. Based on fifteen years of original research Acemoglu and Robinson marshall extraordinary historical evidence from the Roman Empire, the Mayan city-states, medieval Venice, the Soviet Union, Latin America, England, Europe, the United States, and Africa to build a new theory of political economy with great relevance for the big questions of today, including: - China has built an authoritarian growth machine. Will it continue to grow at such high speed and overwhelm the West? - Are America’s best days behind it? Are we moving from a virtuous circle in which efforts by elites to aggrandize power are resisted to a vicious one that enriches and empowers a small minority? - What is the most effective way to help move billions of people from the rut of poverty to prosperity? More philanthropy from the wealthy nations of the West? Or learning the hard-won lessons of Acemoglu and Robinson’s breakthrough ideas on the interplay between inclusive political and economic institutions? Why Nations Fail will change the way you look at—and understand—the world.

Time to Wake up Church! by Rabi Gunaratnam Pdf

The contention of this book is that the church is not being what it should be to the world as a result of tolerating false or misleading teachings. We need to examine what we have absorbed and get back to the basics of our faith, if we are to live right and be a stronger, more powerful influence in this world. Twelve fundamental topics are discussed with review questions for personal contemplation or for group discussion. My prayer is that the Holy Spirit will help us see the truth through the scriptures that we examine, and that we will understand things the way they were meant to be understood. There is no guarantee that everyone will come to the same conclusions as a result of the scriptures and arguments presented in this book. But this book would achieve its purpose if it results in some serious discussion and questioning of our current understanding and results in some positive changes.

The Final Call: Book 1 - Time To Wake Up by Annie Peterson Pdf

Jason Elliott made his decision to be part of the rapture of the Church when he was twelve in a one-room Christian school. Now a high-profile investigative reporter on assignment in Israel, he, his wife, and his team come to realize this age is rapidly coming to an end, and it was all foretold in the Bible. ¬ They discover the prophecies written 2,500 years ago are unfolding today as if written yesterday. Will the signing of the Israeli-Palestine Peace Agreement mark the beginning of the final seven years to the Battle of Armageddon? Is World War III in the Bible? Is Armageddon the end of the world? In this fast-paced mystery, Satan does his best to derail him, but Jason maintains his Christian values even when he accidentally uncovers the assassination plot of white-collar terrorists that make him and his family their targets, as if to say, "Take that, Satan!"
