He had no object bat to free the denomination from everv sti'Tna that conld be cast upon it. He believed their principles were perfect," but "that they themselves were not. The Chairman reminded Mr. Gnat that lie was making a speech instead of merely asking a question. Mr. Grant be""ed pardon; he knew he was trespassing, and concluded by repeating his questions Did the committee appointed last October consider and report as to whether anv alteration should be made in the terms of adding ministers' names to or taking them from th3 list, and if they had not reported when would they? Secondlv, fflio had changed the 'Year Book' to what it had never been before, and which it would not have been now if he (Mr. Grant) had not exposed a case of tyranny?" This is pretty well reported for Mr. Leader: though I may correct the last sentence attributed to me by him, and this I can do by tym Manchester papers. The Courier, Oct. 11, said, " He (Mr. Grant) stated that the alteration in the Book had been made to cover the tyranny-which he (had) exposed." The Manchester Guardian of the same date reported me as saying, "Why had the words ' omitted from' been put in this year that were never in before, and would not have been in now but for the tyranny of the committee, which he (Mr. Grant) had endeavoured to expose." Dr. Smith, the secretary, instead of confessing the gross injustice committed, and the fraud and usurpation of inventing a law to 6creen it, was hysterically affected at the dreadful taste of using the word " tyranny." Perpetrating the act is nothing--falsifying the constitution of Congregationalism by a forged law is nothing; but describing...

Book The Dissenting Voice

Download or read book The Dissenting Voice written by Martin S. Stabb and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-05-23 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political, social, and aesthetic change marked Latin American society in the years between 1960 and 1985. In this book, Martin Stabb explores how these changes made their way into the essayistic writings of twenty-six Spanish American intellectuals. Stabb posits that dissent—against ideology, against simplistic notions of technological progress, against urban values, and even against the direct linear expository style of the essay itself—characterizes the work of these contemporary essayists. He draws his examples from major canonical figures, including Paz, Vargas Llosa, Fuentes, and Cortázar, and from lesser-known writers who merit a wider readership, such as Monterroso, Zaid, Edwards, and Ibargüengoitia. This exploration overturns many conventional assumptions about Latin American intellectuals and also highlights some of the other achievements of authors famous primarily for novels or short stories.

  • ISBN : 184904919X
  • Pages : 384 pages

Download or read book Dissenting Japan written by William Andrews and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conformist, mute and malleable? Andrews tackles head-on this absurd caricature of Japanese society in his fascinating history of its militant sub-cultures, radical societies and well-established traditions of dissent Following the March 2011 tsunami and Fukushima nuclear crisis, the media remarked with surprise on how thousands of demonstrators had flocked to the streets of Tokyo. But mass protest movements are nothing new in Japan and the post-war period experienced years of unrest and violence on both sides of the political spectrum: from demos to riots, strikes, campus occupations, faction infighting, assassinations and even international terrorism. This is the first comprehensive history in English of political radicalism and counterculture in Japan, as well as the artistic developments during this turbulent time. It chronicles the major events and movements from 1945 to the new flowering of protests and civil dissent in the wake of Fukushima. Introducing readers to often ignored aspects of Japanese society, it explores the fascinating ideologies and personalities on the Right and the Left, including the student movement, militant groups and communes. While some elements parallel developments in Europe and America, much of Japan's radical recent past (and present) is unique and offers valuable lessons for understanding the context to the new waves of anti-government protests the nation is currently witnessing.

Passing down the main street, which was rather zigzag in the first part, you would find, at that time, on the right a place called, not originally out Of respect, the Ranter's Chapel, and on the other, nearly opposite, a public house; the first bend to the right a little further on, would bring you to the Meeting; at the top of that lane or road was an open square, by the side of which was a school and the Church.

Book Benjamin Colman   s Epistolary World  1688 1755

Download or read book Benjamin Colman s Epistolary World 1688 1755 written by William R. Smith and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-02 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of the Rev. Benjamin Colman (1673-1747), one of eighteenth-century America’s most influential ministers, and his transatlantic social world of letters. Exploring his epistolary network reveals how imperial culture diffused through the British Atlantic and formed the Dissenting Interest in America, England, and Scotland. Traveling to and living in England between 1695-1699, Colman forged enduring connections with English Dissenters that would animate and define his ministry for nearly a half century. The chapters reassemble Colman’s epistolary web to illuminate the Dissenting Interest’s broad range of activities through the circulation of Dissenting histories, libraries, missionaries, revival news, and provincial defenses of religious liberty. This book argues that over the course of Colman’s life the Dissenting Interest integrated, extended, and ultimately detached, presenting the history of Protestant Dissent as fundamentally a transatlantic story shaped by the provincial edges of the British Empire.

Book Dissenting Voices in America s Rise to Power

Download or read book Dissenting Voices in America s Rise to Power written by David Mayers and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-02-15 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a major rereading of US foreign policy from Thomas Jefferson's purchase of Louisiana expanse to the Korean War. This period of one hundred and fifty years saw the expansion of the United States from fragile republic to transcontinental giant. David Mayers explores the dissenting voices which accompanied this dramatic ascent, focusing on dissenters within the political and military establishment and on the recurrent patterns of dissent that have transcended particular policies and crises. The most stubborn of these sprang from anxiety over the material and political costs of empire while other strands of dissent have been rooted in ideas of exigent justice, realpolitik, and moral duties existing beyond borders. Such dissent is evident again in the contemporary world when the US occupies the position of preeminent global power. Professor Mayers's study reminds us that America's path to power was not as straightforward as it might now seem.

Book Dissenting Social Work

Download or read book Dissenting Social Work written by Paul Michael Garrett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-03 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, from one of international social work’s leading radical educators, provides a richly compelling argument for the profession to become more critical and dissenting. Addressing the troubled times in which we find ourselves, Garrett’s book examines a broad range of theoretical frameworks and draws on diverse writers, such as Marx, Foucault, Brown, Zuboff, Rancière, Wacquant, Arendt, Levinas, Fanon and Gramsci. The author’s panoramic vision encompasses Ireland, the United Kingdom, the United States, Algeria, Israel/Palestine and China. Timely, lively and accessible, this book speaks directly to some of the main preoccupations of our era. Readers will be encouraged to relate developments in social work to key themes circulating around migration, the threat of neo-fascism, surveillance culture, colonialism, the Black Lives Matter movement and the COVID-19 pandemic. Imbued with a sense of hope for a brighter future, this book encourages a new generation of social work students to recognise and examine the importance of critical theory for understanding the structural forces shaping their lives and the lives of those with whom they work and provide services. This book is vital, indispensable and essential reading for social work students and other readers, throughout the world, seeking to make the connection between social work, social theory and sociology. Paul Michael Garrett—probably the most important critical social work theorist in the English-speaking world—is a remarkable and very productive critical thinker. In this book he deals with issues of migration, the threat of neo-fascism, surveillance culture, colonialism, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the COVID-19 pandemic... Insightful and inspiring, thought-provoking and comprehensive in addressing timely critical issues for social work globally. (Filipe Duarte, International Journal of Social Welfare, 2021)

Book World Literature and Dissent

Download or read book World Literature and Dissent written by Lorna Burns and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Literature and Dissent reconsiders the role of dissent in contemporary global literature. Bringing together scholars of world and postcolonial literatures, the contributors explore the aesthetics of resistance through concepts including the epistemology of ignorance, the rhetoric of innocence, the subversion of paying attention, and the radical potential of everydayness. Addressing a broad range of examples, from the Maghrebian humanist Ibn Khaldūn to India’s Facebook poets and examining writers such as Langston Hughes, Ben Okri, Sara Uribe, and Merle Collins, this highly relevant book reframes the field of world literature in relation to dissenting politics and aesthetic. It asks the urgent question: how critical practice might cultivate radical thought, further social justice, and value human expression?
