Download or read book Black Theology Slavery and Contemporary Christianity written by Anthony G. Reddie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Theology, Slavery and Contemporary Christianity explores the legacy of slavery in Black theological terms. Challenging the dominant approaches to the history and legacy of slavery in the British Empire, the contributors show that although the 1807 act abolished the slave trade, it did not end racism, notions of White supremacy, or the demonization of Blackness, Black people and Africa. This interdisciplinary study draws on biblical studies, history, missiology and Black theological reflection, exploring the strengths and limitations of faith as the framework for abolitionist rhetoric and action. This Black theological approach to the phenomenon of the trans-Atlantic slave trade and the institution of slavery draws on contributions from Africa, the Caribbean, North America and Europe.

Download or read book History in Black written by Yaacov Shavit and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of Afrocentric historical writing is explored in this study which traces this recording of history from the Hellenistic-Roman period to the 19th century. Afrocentric writers are depicted as searching for the unique primary source of "culture" from one period to the next. Such passing on of cultural traits from the "ancient model" from the classical period to the origin of culture in Egypt and Africa is shown as being a product purely of creative history.
Download or read book African Religions Philosophy written by John S. Mbiti and published by Heinemann. This book was released on 1990 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "African Religions and Philosophy" is a systematic study of the attitudes of mind and belief that have evolved in the many societies of Africa. In this second edition, Dr Mbiti has updated his material to include the involvement of women in religion, and the potential unity to be found in what was once thought to be a mass of quite separate religions. Mbiti adds a new dimension to the understanding of the history, thinking, and life throughout the African continent. Religion is approached from an African point of view but is as accessible to readers who belong to non-African societies as it is to those who have grown up in African nations. Since its first publication, this book has become acknowledged as the standard work in the field of study, and it is essential reading for anyone concerned with African religion, history, philosophy, anthropology or general African studies.
Download or read book Zero Dynasty written by Aneb Jah Rasta Sensas-Utcha Nefer I and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zero Dynasty (ancient Egypt) is based on the structural elements that appeared within certain ages of the spiritual. However, it has flaws. The flaws will be mentioned in future books whereas they have never been recognized or mentioned by scholars of all generations and racial lines as this has created and induced more racial barriers among ignorant spiritual organizations and populations today. You see, individuals are starving for information; however, not wisdom. We are within a culture that has been stimulated by negative forms of institutionalized forms of behavioral shaping patterns into whipping the blind by blindsiding them with hearsays of schemes as they pertain to the truths regarding transgenic organisms of humanity. They, too, have been and are currently inducing deficiencies unto the meek and the lowly. They are inducing their Ka region. This particular region ignites and triggers ones need of desire, intellectuality, and emotional states of being. This is through the programming of their spirit(s) of wholeness. In wholeness, you resurrect from your slumber of facing brutalities due to the means of mental and physical slavery that have been induced upon you by your shepherds, for this is written in Jeremiah 23. Finally, the chains of physiological and neurocognitive struggle have been placed upon every spiritual being on the universe by searching within ourselves regarding the instruction that we are under. These molecular stimulants must be wholeheartedly comprehended by every one of all generations. Therefore, we must recognize that the form of creation has a linkage and underlying cause, whether it is a terminal illness or the integrity of those who are illusion and delusion. This delusion leads to passions of fear, anger, hatred, pride, greed, lust, and forms of destabilization among all, with individuals having or gaining various levels of poverty regarding the nature of their purpose of existence. Their existence! This book is under the ownership of GodDivinity and the Tejauma Na Nia Corp.
Download or read book The SAGE Encyclopedia of African Cultural Heritage in North America written by Mwalimu J. Shujaa and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 1830 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of African Cultural Heritage in North America provides an accessible ready reference on the retention and continuity of African culture within the United States. Our conceptual framework holds, first, that culture is a form of self-knowledge and knowledge about self in the world as transmitted from one person to another. Second, that African people continuously create their own cultural history as they move through time and space. Third, that African descended people living outside of Africa are also contributors to and participate in the creation of African cultural history. Entries focus on illuminating Africanisms (cultural retentions traceable to an African origin) and cultural continuities (ongoing practices and processes through which African culture continues to be created and formed). Thus, the focus is more culturally specific and less concerned with the broader transatlantic demographic, political and geographic issues that are the focus of similar recent reference works. We also focus less on biographies of individuals and political and economic ties and more on processes and manifestations of African cultural heritage and continuity. FEATURES: A two-volume A-to-Z work, available in a choice of print or electronic formats 350 signed entries, each concluding with Cross-references and Further Readings 150 figures and photos Front matter consisting of an Introduction and a Reader’s Guide organizing entries thematically to more easily guide users to related entries Signed articles concluding with cross-references

Download or read book Serving African American Children written by Sheryl Brissett-Chapman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Serving African American Children was initiated to present an African American perspective on child welfare issues affecting African American children. The chapters in this volume challenge the child welfare community to ensure that all African American children receive protection, nurturing, and an improved quality of life; to create and sustain mutual communication and support through program development; to ensure that African American consultants are involved in the evaluation of agencies where African American populations represent a significant proportion of the service population; and to increase African American leadership through education and training opportunities in preparation for executive level positions. Major chapters and contributors to Serving African American Children include: "Family Preservation and Support Services: A Missed Opportunity for Kinship Care" by Julia Danzy and Sondra M. Jackson; "Achieving Same-Race Adoptive Placements for African American Children" by Ruth G. McRoy, Zena Oglesby, and Helen Grape; "African American Families and HIV/AIDS: Caring for Surviving Children" by Alma J. Carten and Ilene Fennoy; "A Rite of Passage Approach Designed to Preserve the Families of Substance-Abusing African American Women" by Vanesta L. Poitier, Makini Niliwaambieni, and Cyprian Lamar Rowe; and "An Afrocentric Program for African American Males in the Juvenile Justice System" by Aminifu R. Harvey and Antoinette A. Coleman. The chapters reflect a variety of policy, research, and practice issues; clinical techniques and treatment models; and new perspectives in child welfare. The theme that runs throughout each chapter is the grave concern about the overrepresentation of African American children and families in the child welfare system, and about the limited if not missing influence of the African American perspective on policy and practice. Serving African American Children is a book of vital importance and should be read by all social workers, sociologists, African American studies specialists, and professionals in the field of child welfare.
