Book excerpt: Conservative Christianity in the United States has long been a beacon of hope. Conservative churches have withstood tidal waves of liberal theology and cultural shifts towards secularism over recent decades. Through it all, we have stood firm and remained committed to orthodoxy. As good as our intentions have been, however, we are not without fault. In our commitment to conservativism, we have lost our way and failed in some areas. It is important for us to be honest and vulnerable about these failings so we can correct our course and be the people God has called us to be. The American Masquerade confronts many of these failures such as: - Moralism replacing the true gospel - Impotency of the local church - Politicizing of the faith - Worshiping the nation over Christ Pastors, believers, and friends, I urge you to open your hearts and be honest with yourselves. We have done so much right, but we have also done our fair share of wrong. Let God's truth break our hearts, redirect our course, and recover our purpose.

EXCERPT: Smiling I lifted my hand to assure her it was all right as I stepped towards the bar to get something to wash the food down. This wouldn't have been the place to do so, but I wanted to ask her a few things. I wanted to ask how long she held out before blowing party guests in hopes of some sort of break. I could see in her eyes the look that only comes with complete belief that it would all mean something someday. She had drank the Kool-Aid of this city and asked for more. I watched her as she moved through the crowd until I felt Murray's hand on my shoulder. "You can't save everyone, we're lucky to save ourselves."

Download or read book Masquerade and Social Justice in Contemporary Latin American Fiction written by Helene Carol Weldt-Basson and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary Latin American fiction establishes a unique connection between masquerade, frequently motivated by stigma or trauma, and social justice. Using an interdisciplinary approach that combines philosophy, history, psychology, literature, and social justice theory, this study delineates the synergistic connection between these two themes. Weldt-Basson examines fourteen novels by twelve different Latin American authors: Mario Vargas Llosa, Sergio Galindo, Augusto Roa Bastos, Fernando del Paso, Mayra Santos-Febres, Isabel Allende, Carmen Boullosa, Antonio Benítez-Rojo, Marcela Serrano, Sara Sefchovich, Luisa Valenzuela, and Ariel Dorfman. She elucidates the varieties of social justice operating in the plots of contemporary Latin American novels: distributive, postmodern/feminist, postcolonial, transitional, and historical justices. The author further examines how masquerade and disguise aid in articulating the theme of social justice, why this is important, and how it relates to Latin American history and the historical novel.

Download or read book Masquerade written by Alfred F. Young and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2005-03-08 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Masquerade, Alfred F. Young scrapes through layers of fiction and myth to uncover the story of Deborah Sampson, a Massachusetts woman who passed as a man and fought as a soldier for seventeen months toward the end of the American Revolution. Deborah Sampson was not the only woman to pose as a male and fight in the war, but she was certainly one of the most successful and celebrated. She managed to fight in combat and earn the respect of her officers and peers, and in later years she toured the country lecturing about her experiences and was partially successful in obtaining veterans’ benefits. Her full story, however, was buried underneath exaggeration and myth (some of which she may have created herself), becoming another sort of masquerade. Young takes the reader with him through his painstaking efforts to reveal the real Deborah Sampson in a work of history that is as spellbinding as the best detective fiction.

Download or read book Extravagant Passing written by Rosa Angelica Martinez and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dissertation discusses the figure and narrative of Spanish masquerade in the history of passing in American literature and culture, beginning with Spanish historias and English histories in the 16th and 17th centuries that provide a frame for the study of 19th century Chicana/o and African American literature. In the works by Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, Gaspar Pérez de Villagrá, John Smith, Herman Melville, Ellen Craft and William Craft, and María Amparo Ruiz de Burton, the manuscript provides literary readings, cultural history, and archival research, also making use of queer theory, post-colonial theory, and theories of mestiza consciousness in order to connect these particular case studies to a broader field of inquiry concerning boundary crossing and its representational practices. Whereas most critical readings on the history of passing concentrate on black-to-white performances of mobility, this dissertation introduces a new kind of passing that changes how we think about the traditional genre in order to explore how the variable of disability and illness cross-racially intervenes into the figure of the Spanish decadent colonial. Through readings of social moblity in these authors' works, I generate a theory of extravagance, or surplus signification, in the performance of passing. A specific integer of extravagance's operation and which the dissertation is interested is "Spanishness" as an added problem to extravagant passing. I thus situate the content of this study in the context of the traditional genre and recent theoretical discussions. The dissertation ultimately argues that by studying this confounding borderland figure what emerges is the missing historia in the history of passing, a ghosting of Spanishness in the American literary imagination, and a plural mode of subjectivity deployed by racial subjects, including la mestiza, where the dissertation uncovers a poetics of extravagance in la conciencia de la mestiza.
