Download or read book I ve Got to Make My Livin written by Cynthia M. Blair and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-12-15 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years, the interrelated histories of prostitution and cities have perked the ears of urban scholars, but until now the history of urban sex work has dealt only in passing with questions of race. In I’ve Got to Make My Livin’, Cynthia Blair explores African American women’s sex work in Chicago during the decades of some of the city’s most explosive growth, expanding not just our view of prostitution, but also of black women’s labor, the Great Migration, black and white reform movements, and the emergence of modern sexuality. Focusing on the notorious sex districts of the city’s south side, Blair paints a complex portrait of black prostitutes as conscious actors and historical agents; prostitution, she argues here, was both an arena of exploitation and abuse, as well as a means of resisting middle-class sexual and economic norms. Blair ultimately illustrates just how powerful these norms were, offering stories about the struggles that emerged among black and white urbanites in response to black women’s increasing visibility in the city’s sex economy. Through these powerful narratives, I’ve Got to Make My Livin’ reveals the intersecting racial struggles and sexual anxieties that underpinned the celebration of Chicago as the quintessentially modern twentieth-century city.
Download or read book The Paradox of Southern Progressivism 1880 1930 written by William A. Link and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2000-11-09 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the cultural conflicts between social reformers and southern communities, William Link presents an important reinterpretation of the origins and impact of progressivism in the South. He shows that a fundamental clash of values divided reformers and rural southerners, ultimately blocking the reforms. His book, based on extensive archival research, adds a new dimension to the study of American reform movements. The new group of social reformers that emerged near the end of the nineteenth century believed that the South, an underdeveloped and politically fragile region, was in the midst of a social crisis. They recognized the environmental causes of social problems and pushed for interventionist solutions. As a consensus grew about southern social problems in the early 1900s, reformers adopted new methods to win the support of reluctant or indifferent southerners. By the beginning of World War I, their public crusades on prohibition, health, schools, woman suffrage, and child labor had led to some new social policies and the beginnings of a bureaucratic structure. By the late 1920s, however, social reform and southern progressivism remained largely frustrated. Link's analysis of the response of rural southern communities to reform efforts establishes a new social context for southern progressivism. He argues that the movement failed because a cultural chasm divided the reformers and the communities they sought to transform. Reformers were paternalistic. They believed that the new policies should properly be administered from above, and they were not hesitant to impose their own solutions. They also viewed different cultures and races as inferior. Rural southerners saw their communities and customs quite differently. For most, local control and personal liberty were watchwords. They had long deflected attempts of southern outsiders to control their affairs, and they opposed the paternalistic reforms of the Progressive Era with equal determination. Throughout the 1920s they made effective implementation of policy changes difficult if not impossible. In a small-scale war, rural folk forced the reformers to confront the integrity of the communities they sought to change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about a vision that has been fulfilled in 2020. ‘Will you visit me during the Economic Downturn?’ was written in 2016 by Rev Leong upon God’s prompting. It talks about a coming global economic downturn. The book cover shows is an illustration of the extraordinary times. There is the earth in the cover picture. It represents all the nations of the world,which will be ravaged by the severe economic downturn. A 3-year-old boy standing without his parents illustrates the fact that his parents were infected and died in the pandemic. He is all alone by himself. All industries are badly hit and the business of the rich suffers. They can only cast a blank stare upon the clouds, hoping that they will be blinded by the clouds. They are only concerned about themselves and their business. They are not in the mood to care for others, the outsiders and the miserable children of others. The many vague high-rise buildings in the picture represent a bleak prospect. Some businesses are closed down, including big hotels, old signature restaurants, famous western restaurants and some factories. Big and small companies retrench staff, and riots are frequent. Churches are closed and only a few members continue to give offerings. Many pastors live by faith with their families. In Chinese, the word ‘您' (‘心 ‘ (heart) under ‘你 ‘ (you) ) is a polite way to address the elderly. They have some savings, gold chains, valuables or property. They work hard but they care about their families and children. They bring their valuables to the pawnshop. Many local middle-aged and migrant workers have lost their jobs. They are in a panic about the future. The young people are jobless but they glue to their mobile phones. They don’t have strong bonding with their family.

Download or read book Seven Things that God Hates Seven Letters to Seven Churches written by Rev. Dr. Larry A. Brookins and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-08-23 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inside the pages of this book, Rev. Dr. Larry A. Brookins examines three significant contexts from the Bible that bring to the forefront how God views sin and disobedience, whether outside the church among the peoples of the world, or within the church among the congregations of the saints. It also highlights the heart of the God of both Old and New Testaments, as it relates to the life that is lived in submission and conformity to the Will of God. In Seven Things that God Hates, Seven Letters to Seven Churches and Let Go of Your Neighbor's Throat no camouflage is presented. Jesus said: "ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32). The God, Who is Love, has word against the transgressor of His commandments. The goal is not condemnation but correction (see II Timothy 3:16). The objective of divine admonition is forever?“repentance” (see II Peter 3:9). More than anything else God desires to bless, but He will curse. More than anything else the gates of Heaven invite all, but what of the reality of Hell? The love of God is unconditional and embraces every sinner with an invitation to salvation, regardless of individual sin. But don't misinterpret divine love for acceptance of a lifestyle that displeases God and or for absolute salvation without the condition of faith and obedience. Jesus died for all, but not all will enjoy the fruit of His sacrifice.
