Download or read book Deep Roots written by Avidit Acharya and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Despite dramatic social transformations in the United States during the last 150 years, the South has remained staunchly conservative. Southerners are more likely to support Republican candidates, gun rights, and the death penalty, and southern whites harbor higher levels of racial resentment than whites in other parts of the country. Why haven't these sentiments evolved or changed? Deep Roots shows that the entrenched political and racial views of contemporary white southerners are a direct consequence of the region's slaveholding history, which continues to shape economic, political, and social spheres. Today, southern whites who live in areas once reliant on slavery--compared to areas that were not--are more racially hostile and less amenable to policies that could promote black progress. Highlighting the connection between historical institutions and contemporary political attitudes, the authors explore the period following the Civil War when elite whites in former bastions of slavery had political and economic incentives to encourage the development of anti-black laws and practices. Deep Roots shows that these forces created a local political culture steeped in racial prejudice, and that these viewpoints have been passed down over generations, from parents to children and via communities, through a process called behavioral path dependence. While legislation such as the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act made huge strides in increasing economic opportunity and reducing educational disparities, southern slavery has had a profound, lasting, and self-reinforcing influence on regional and national politics that can still be felt today. A groundbreaking look at the ways institutions of the past continue to sway attitudes of the present, Deep Roots demonstrates how social beliefs persist long after the formal policies that created those beliefs have been eradicated."--Jacket.

It pays tribute to those gone but not forgotten and most importantly it is a reflection of the power of faith and love.

Perhaps you've walked that very same road, although your destination may have been vastly different. If so, then the one thing that always got me through those tough times was true; the belief that you never walk alone. Someone has walked this very road ahead of you or in your footsteps left behind. As you turn each page, may you find the strength to endure and the faith to venture onto the next chapter of your life while holding your head up remembering that despite all else, God loves you and so do I. Deeply Rooted is a gift I want to share with you and may you continue to be inspired long after you turn the last page.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We often walk around feeling disconnected, misunderstood, or frustrated with where we are in life. Sometimes we are going from place to place taking bits and pieces of experiences or lessons but not truly applying all that we have learned in those places. Just as a tree is planted and its roots start to really connect with the soil to grow, we need this same thing in our relationship with God. When a tree is rooted in fertile soil, you will see the fruit of that soil. It is receiving all that it needs to grow such as nutrients, water, and sunshine. We can tell by the fruit or the leaves the tree is producing that it is well nurtured and taken care of. This is what happens to us when we deeply root or connect ourselves to God and his Word. Join in on this journey of life lessons and how being deeply rooted in God in every area of your life will cause you to grow and create beautiful fruit.

Book Deeply Rooted

  • Author : Lisa M. Hamilton
  • Publisher : Catapult
  • Release : 2010-03-30
  • ISBN : 1582435863
  • Pages : 321 pages

Download or read book Deeply Rooted written by Lisa M. Hamilton and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2010-03-30 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A century of industrialization has left our food system riddled with problems, yet for solutions we look to nutritionists and government agencies, scientists and chefs. Lisa M. Hamilton asks: Why not look to the people who grow our food? Hamilton makes this vital inquiry through the stories of three unconventional farmers: an African–American dairyman in Texas who plays David to the Goliath of agribusiness corporations; a tenth–generation rancher in New Mexico struggling to restore agriculture as a pillar of his crumbling community; and a modern pioneer family in North Dakota who is breeding new varieties of plants to face the future's double threat: Monsanto and global warming. Threads of history and discussion weave through the tales, exploring how farmers have been pushed to the margins of agriculture and transformed from leaders to laborers. These unusual characters and their surprising stories make the case that in order to correct what has gone wrong with the food system, we must first bring farmers back to the table.

Book China Reconnects  Joining A Deep rooted Past To A New World Order

Download or read book China Reconnects Joining A Deep rooted Past To A New World Order written by Gungwu Wang and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2019-07-02 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book shows how the Chinese are now confident of their capacity to learn all they need from the developed world and are keen to know which parts of the past they would need to build a modern Chinese civilization. They are very conscious of the challenges coming from the United States, and are looking for ways and means to respond to a superpower that wants to preserve its dominant position in the international status quo.The book seeks to explain what China is doing and what its immediate and long-term interests are. It is not to defend or judge China. It does not employ theoretical frameworks that are not appropriate for describing Chinese conditions. It calls for understanding why history is particularly relevant to the Chinese state and most of its people. That way, we also see how the present and hopes for the future changes our perspectives of the past. Related Link(s)

Book Growing Deep Rooted Vegetables In Your Organic Garden

This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Table of Contents Introduction Celery Seed sowing Trench Growing Knowing More about Earthing up Onions Spinach Summer Spinach Winter Spinach Leeks Asparagus Preparing Your Asparagus Bed Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Deep-rooted vegetables have been grown by gardeners for millenniums, because they know that there is going to be a next advantage of having a deep-rooted vegetables’ harvest. Not only is it going to be bountiful, but the treatment done to the soil during this growing process is going to enrich it manifold. Deep-rooted vegetables improve the soil as special preparation has to be made for them. That means you have to go in for the cultivation except for spinach. Celery, onions and leeks need well-prepared ground and asparagus and rhubarb are permanent crops. That means these are going to be your main crops interspersed with short-term crops like spinach, – between different main crop sowings- which are going to be harvested from your land every year. Spinach is thus called a “catch” crop. This book is going to give you information on how best you can utilize the ground around you to grow organic vegetables for your family and also possibly for the organic market in your city. Remember for millenniums people have been using traditional organic farming methods for growing their vegetables. So it is time to come back to nature and say goodbye to artificial fertilizers and harmful chemical pesticides.
