Veiled Leadership by Amanda Bresie Pdf

On the rainy morning of October 1, 2000, Pope John Paul II canonized Mother Katharine Drexel. Born into a wealthy Philadelphia family, Drexel bucked society and formed the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament for Indians and Colored People. Her compelling personal story has excited many biographers who have highlighted her holiness and catalogued her good deeds. During her life, newspapers called her the "Millionaire Nun," and much of the literature on Drexel and the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament exalts Katharine Drexel's disbursement of her vast fortune to benefit Black and Indigenous people. The often repeated stories of a riches to rags holy woman miss the true significance of what Mother Katharine and the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament attempted. Drexel was not merely the ATM of Catholic Home Missions; rather, she challenged the hierarchy to reimagine its mission in the United States. In an era when the Church controlled the actions and censored the opinions of women religious, they had to listen to Mother Katharine. Most writing on Drexel and the SBS focus on Drexel's spiritual journey, but Veiled Leadership traces the daily operations of her charitable empire and looks at how the Sisters implemented Drexel's vision in the field. The SBS were not always welcomed in the communities they served, and they experienced conflict from both white supremacists and the people they wanted to aid. Veiled Leadership examines the lives of Mother Katharine and her congregation within the context of larger constructs of gender, race, religion, reform, and national identity. It explores what happens when a non-dominant culture tries to impose its views and morals on other non-dominant cultures. In other words, as outliers themselves-they were semi-cloistered Catholic women from primarily immigrant backgrounds in a culture that regarded their lifestyles as alien and unnatural-their attempts to Americanize and assimilate Black and Indigenous people, whose families had been in the country for generations longer than the nuns' own, adds complexity to our understanding of cultural hegemony.

The Veiled Garvey by Ula Yvette Taylor Pdf

In this biography, Ula Taylor explores the life and ideas of one of the most important, if largely unsung, Pan-African freedom fighters of the twentieth century: Amy Jacques Garvey (1895-1973). Born in Jamaica, Amy Jacques moved in 1917 to Harlem, where she became involved in the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), the largest Pan-African organization of its time. She served as the private secretary of UNIA leader Marcus Garvey; in 1922, they married. Soon after, she began to give speeches and to publish editorials urging black women to participate in the Pan-African movement and addressing issues that affected people of African descent across the globe. After her husband's death in 1940, Jacques Garvey emerged as a gifted organizer for the Pan-African cause. Although she faced considerable male chauvinism, she persisted in creating a distinctive feminist voice within the movement. In her final decades, Jacques Garvey constructed a thriving network of Pan-African contacts, including Nnamdi Azikiwe, Kwame Nkrumah, George Padmore, and W. E. B. Du Bois. Taylor examines the many roles Jacques Garvey played throughout her life, as feminist, black nationalist, journalist, daughter, mother, and wife. Tracing her political and intellectual evolution, the book illuminates the leadership and enduring influence of this remarkable activist.

Confronting the Veil by Jonathan Scott Holloway Pdf

In this book, Jonathan Holloway explores the early lives and careers of economist Abram Harris Jr., sociologist E. Franklin Frazier, and political scientist Ralph Bunche--three black scholars who taught at Howard University during the New Deal and, together, formed the leading edge of American social science radicalism. Harris, Frazier, and Bunche represented the vanguard of the young black radical intellectual-activists who dared to criticize the NAACP for its cautious civil rights agenda and saw in the turmoil of the Great Depression an opportunity to advocate class-based solutions to what were commonly considered racial problems. Despite the broader approach they called for, both their advocates and their detractors had difficulty seeing them as anything but "black intellectuals" speaking on "black issues." A social and intellectual history of the trio, of Howard University, and of black Washington, Confronting the Veil investigates the effects of racialized thinking on Harris, Frazier, Bunche, and others who wanted to think "beyond race--who envisioned a workers' movement that would eliminate racial divisiveness and who used social science to demonstrate the ways in which race is constructed by social phenomena. Ultimately, the book sheds new light on how people have used race to constrain the possibilities of radical politics and social science thinking.

Life Behind a Veil by George C. Wright Pdf

In the period between the Civil War and the Great Depression, Louisville, Kentucky was host to what George C. Wright calls "a polite form of racism." There were no lynchings or race riots, and to a great extent, Louisville blacks escaped the harsh violence that was a fact of life for blacks in the Deep South. Furthermore, black Louisvillians consistently enjoyed and exercised an oft-contested but never effectively retracted enfranchisement. However, their votes usually did not amount to any real political leverage, and there were no radical improvements in civil rights during this period. Instead, there existed a delicate balance between relative privilege and enforced passivity.A substantial paternalism carried over from antebellum days in Louisville, and many leading white citizens lent support to a limited uplifting of blacks in society. They helped blacks establish their own schools, hospitals, and other institutions. But the dual purpose that such actions served, providing assistance while making the maintenance of strict segregation easier, was not incidental. Whites salved their consequences without really threatening an established order. And blacks, obliged to be grateful for the assistance, generally refrained from arguing for real social and political equality for fear of jeopardizing a partially improved situation and regressing to a status similar to that of other southern blacks.In Life Behind a Veil: Blacks in Louisville, Kentucky, 1865 - 1930, George Wright looks at the particulars of this form of racism. He also looks at the ways in which blacks made the most of their less than ideal position, focusing on the institutions that were central to their lives. Blacks in Louisville boasted the first library for blacks in the United States, as well as black-owned banks, hospitals, churches, settlement houses, and social clubs. These supported and reinforced a sense of community, self-esteem, and pride that was often undermined by the white world.Life Behind a Veil is a comprehensive account of race relations, black response to white discrimination, and the black community behind the walls of segregation in this border town. The title echoes Blyden Jackson's recollection of his childhood in Louisville, where blacks were always aware that there were two very distinct Louisvilles, one of which they were excluded from.

VEIL OF SHADOWS by Laura Lee Pdf

In the realm of Ethereal, a delicate balance between light and darkness has endured for centuries. The shimmering luminescence of the Celestial Realm intertwines with the enigmatic allure of the Shadowlands, creating a tapestry of existence unlike any other. But lurking beyond the Veil of Shadows, an ancient evil stirs, threatening to unravel the harmony that has been carefully preserved. A sinister presence, fueled by spiritual wickedness, seeks to tip the scales in favor of darkness, shrouding Ethereal in eternal night. At the heart of this cosmic struggle is Lisa Johnson, a young woman with a mysterious heritage and an innate connection to the forces that govern the realms. Unbe- known to her, her very existence holds the key to restoring or destroying the delicate equilibrium. As Lisa navigates her everyday life, unaware of the im- mense power within her, her path becomes entwined with her mother's sinister plot. Driven by jealousy and a desire for dominion, Lisa's mother harnesses spiritual wickedness. She enlists the aid of her malevolent brothers to execute her dark agenda—a plan that involves the ultimate sacrifice of her daughter. Unseen, benevolent, and malevolent forces gather as Ethereal teeters on the precipice of catastrophe. The protectors, an ancient order sworn to uphold the balance, emerge from the shadows, recognizing the looming threat. Their merged powers, forged from the harmonious fusion of light and darkness, hold the potential to alter the fate of the realms. Guided by a prophecy and armed with determination, the protectors rally to protect Lisa, their destinies intertwined. Together, they must unravel the mysteries of her lineage, face the twisted machinations of her mother and her brothers, and confront the spiritual wickedness that seeks to plunge Ethereal into eternal darkness. The stage is set for an epic battle—one that will test the resilience of the protectors, challenge the limits of Lisa's untapped potential, and determine the fate of Ethereal itself. As the Veil of Shadows grows ever thinner, the forces of light and darkness converge, threatening to tip the scales and unleash chaos upon the realms. In this world of intertwining realms, where courage is tested, alliances are forged, and secrets are unveiled, the destiny of Ethereal hangs in the balance. Will the protectors succeed in preserving the delicate equilibrium, or will the forces of darkness claim victory, plunging the realms into an eternal Veil of Shadows? The answers lie within the journey that is about to unfold, as the battle for Ethereal's future begins.

The Torn Veil by Daniel M. Gurtner Pdf

In this 2006 text, Daniel M. Gurtner examines the meaning of the rending of the veil at the death of Jesus in Matthew 27:51a by considering the functions of the veil in the Old Testament and its symbolism in Second Temple and Rabbinic Judaism. Gurtner incorporates these elements into a compositional exegesis of the rending text in Matthew. He concludes that the rending of the veil is an apocalyptic assertion like the opening of heaven revealing, in part, end-time images drawn from Ezekiel 37. Moreover, when the veil is torn Matthew depicts the cessation of its function, articulating the atoning role of Christ's death which gives access to God not simply in the sense of entering the Holy of Holies (as in Hebrews), but in trademark Matthean Emmanuel Christology: 'God with us'. This underscores the significance of Jesus' atoning death in the first gospel.

Veiled Power by Doreen Lustig Pdf

Veiled Power conducts a thorough historical study of the relationship between international law and business corporations. It chronicles the emergence of the contemporary legal architecture for corporations in international law between 1886 and 1981. Doreen Lustig traces the relationship between two legal 'veils': the sovereign veil of the state and the corporate veil of the company. The interplay between these two veils constitutes the conceptual framework this book offers for the legal analysis of corporations in international law. By weaving together five in-depth case studies - Firestone in Liberia, the Industrialist Trials at Nuremberg, the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, Barcelona Traction and the emergence of the international investment law regime - a variety of contexts are covered, including international criminal law, human rights, natural resources, and the multinational corporation as a subject of regulatory concern. Together, these case studies offer a multifaceted account of the history of corporations in international law over time. The book seeks to demonstrate the facilitative role of international law in shaping and limiting the scope of responsibility of the private business corporation from the late-nineteenth century and throughout the twentieth century. Ultimately, Lustig suggests that, contrary to the prevailing belief that international law failed to adequately regulate private corporations, there is a history of close engagement between the two that allowed corporations to exert influence under a variety of legal regimes while obscuring their agency.

Behind the Public Veil by Lewis V. Baldwin Pdf

What was Martin Luther King Jr. really like? In this groundbreaking volume, Lewis V. Baldwin answers this question by focusing on the man himself. Drawing on the testimonies of friends, family, and closest associates, this volume adds much-needed biographical background to the discussion, as Baldwin looks beyond all of the mythic, messianic, and iconic images to treat King in terms of his fundamental and vivid humanness. Special attention is devoted to King’s personal insecurities and struggles, his humility and affinity to common people, his delight in pleasant and passionate conversation, his insatiable love for the precious but ordinary things of life, his robust appetite for artfully-prepared and delicious soul food, his enduring appreciation for music and dance, his cheerful and playful attitude and spirit, his abiding interest in games and sports, and his amazing gift of wit, humor, and laughter. King emerges here as an ordinary human being who enjoyed and celebrated life to the fullest, but was never bigger than life. Here we see the personal qualities of King—as a real, fleshly human being—and also as a man shaped by his social and cultural experiences and locations. This book reclaims the man behind the mythology.

Life Within the Veil by Linda Jennings Pdf

Jesus suffered and died so that the veil of separation could be rent. No longer would we be separated from the Most Holy Place. No longer would we be separated from the fullness of the manifested presence of the lover of our soul. Now we could freely enter within. But this was not to be a place of visitation. This was to become our dwelling place. It would be in this place - in Him - that we would live and move and have our being. Tragically, we have spent centuries living outside the veil in a land so far beneath the fullness of our inheritance. But, "No more!" is the cry of our heavenly Father. "Now is the hour when I, Myself, stand at the entrance and call my church, my 'called out ones, ' within the veil. Come and behold the wonders which lie within." Life within the Veil gives you a glimpse of those glorious wonders. "Life within the Veil will take you to that place in God about which you've only dreamed. I couldn't put the book down and I didn't want it to end. Finally, someone put into words. the longings of my heart" Sharon Mullins Minister, Pastor's wife, Teacher, Intercessor "This book reveals a sacred flow from the heart of the Throne Room straight through the pen of Linda Jennings. Be blessed as you step upon holy ground." Maggie Murphy Pastor, Teacher, Co-host - Tea with Maggie and Linda "As I read Life within the Veil, I felt such a drawing to go there. My heart kept crying out, 'Me too, Lord!' I realized that this was the place I longed to go. This was the place I longed to live my life." Lisa Waters Worship Leader
