Download or read book RED BROWN YELLOW BLACK WHITE WHO S MORE PRECIOUS IN GOD S SIGHT written by Leroy Barber and published by Jericho Books. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing upon two decades of mission experience, Leroy Barber exposes the racial divisions within Christian ministries and offers practical and comprehensive solutions for promoting diversity. Red, Brown, Yellow, Black and White highlights the historic patterns that have created racial discrepancies within missions. It joins the essential canon created by touchstone books like Divided by Faith by Michael Emerson and Christian Smith and the ever-popular Race Matters by Cornel West. With a no-blame attitude, powerful personal narratives from a dozen other black, Hispanic, Asian, Native American and white Christians, interactive histories of missions, and the writings of MLK and Howard Thurman (the entire "Letter From Birmingham Jail" and Howard Thurman's motivational speech "Sound of the Genuine"), Barber addresses this tough issue in a way that will inspire and motivate readers of all races toward change.

Under an old banyan tree, with its tent-like stems turned downwards and its dense canopy of green overhead, stood a dainty breakfast table. Early tea was over. One bamboo chair had already been vacated by its occupant; in the other, sat a young English lady. Only two months previously Hester Rayner had left home a bride.

Download or read book Melting Pothead Stories of an Anglo Indian raised on Brixton s Frontline written by Siddy Shivdasani and published by White Falcon Publishing. This book was released on 2020-06-24 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Siddy is an Anglo-Indian raised in a white family a stone’s throw from ‘The Frontline’ in the black capital of Europe, Brixton. That part of south London was the Eighties battleground for two major riots, which shaped race relations in Britain for a generation. The atmosphere created by an abusive police force and an alienated, poverty-stricken population drew comparisons to occupied west Belfast. Siddy tells tales of growing up in that tough environment, which was normality for him. He is a one-man class and race melting pot and became a serious dope smoker aged 15, hence this book’s title. He started out as a journalist in the ethnic minority media aged 22 and somehow found himself at the heart of the Murdoch Empire within five years. The first half of the book provides snapshots of his life, from Brixton to Bombay to Beirut, via Armageddon, to Fortress Wapping…and beyond. This is in the context of having an undiagnosed, severe mental illness until he cracked up in 2008, leading him to violently resist arrest and be sectioned. The second half has more of Siddy’s life and also expands on how he views the world through the prism of his often troubled existence. But he is a keen student of English gallows humour and is capable of seeing the funny side of things even in the darkest of moments. ‘I used to live in London and thought I knew the city. Then I read Melting Pothead and realised I was a tourist. Siddy Shivdasani is Samuel Pepys on acid. A one-man subculture.’ Daniel Vernon, BAFTA-winning TV and film director ‘It’s about people, lost and found, pride and prejudice, survival and death, afflictions and cures, and many other things.’ PETER GRIMSDITCH, founding Editor of the Daily Star

Download or read book Before the End After the Beginning written by Dagoberto Gilb and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten “stark, realistic” short stories from the PEN/Hemingway Award–winning author ‘told in mostly gritty matter-of-fact prose” (The Boston Globe). Dagoberto Gilb wrote most of the stories in Before the End, After the Beginning while he recovered from a stroke he suffered in 2009. The result is a powerful and triumphant volume that tackles common themes of identity, mortality, and the physical limitations which arose during his own illness. Taking readers throughout the American West and Southwest, from Los Angeles and Albuquerque to El Paso and Austin, these ten stories cover territory close to Gilb’s heart—a mother and son’s relationship in Southern California in the story ‘Uncle Rock’ or a man looking to shed his chaotic past in ‘The Last Time I Saw Junior’—while describing the American experience in his raw, inimitable style. With this new collection, Gilb offers what may be his most extraordinary achievement to date with “an authenticity that’s unimpeachable” (San Antonio Express News).
