Download or read book Children of Perdition written by Tim Hashaw and published by Mercer University Press. This book was released on 2007-05 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some oppressed groups fought with guns, some fought in court, some exercised civil disobedience; the Melungeons, however, fought by telling folktales. Whites and blacks gave the name "children of perdition" to mixed Americans during the 300 years that marriage between whites and nonwhites was outlawed. Mixed communities ranked socially below communities of freed slaves although they had lighter skin. To escape persecution caused by the stigma of having African blood, these groups invented fantastic stories of their origins, known generally as "lost colony" legends. From the founding of America, through the American Revolution, the Civil War and World War II, the author documents the histories of several related mixed communities that began in Virginia in 1619 and still exist today, and shows how they responded to racism over four centuries. Conflicts led to imprisonment, whippings, slavery, lynching, gun battles, forced sterilization, and exile--but they survived. America's view of mixing became increasingly intolerant and led to a twentieth-century scheme to forcibly exile U.S. citizens, with as little as ?one drop? of black blood, to Africa even though their ancestors arrived before the Mayflower. Evidence documents the collaboration between American race purists and leading Nazi Germans who perpetrated the Holocaust. The author examines theories of ethnic purity and ethnic superiority, and reveals how mixed people responded to "pure race" myths with origin myths of their own as Nazi sympa-thizers in state and federal government segregated mixed Americans, citing the myth of Aryan supremacy. Finally, Children of Perdition explains why many Americans view mixing as unnatural and shows how mixed people continue to confront the Jim Crow "one drop" standard today.

Download or read book Son of Perdition written by Louise M. Gouge and published by River Oak. This book was released on 2005 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heman Melville's Captain Ahab referred briefly to a wife and son - and author Louise Gouge has built an entire book series around these unseen characters. The first two books focused on Hannah, his wife, Son of Perdition follows Timothy Jacobs, the son whose bitterness toward his father's godless reputation caused him to even reject his father's name. Timothy Jacobs spends his young life trying to prove that he is not like his father, the infamous Captian Ahab. Certain of his own goodness compared to the misguided mariners he observes at the Seaman's Mission where he volunteers, he feels no need for the salvation of Christ, which his mother and stepfather encourage him to accept. But when he is tragically wounded in battle, he is nearly consumed by rage at God, whom he now regards as unjust and uncaring. Not until he reads an account of his father's futile battle against the White Whale does Timothy realize the nature of his own sin and how both he and his father have misunderstood the merciful, loving nature of God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Words from the Author I am José Miguel Báez, the esoteric and hermetic philosopher of the books, The Theosophy of Twt-Mos Djoser, The Book of Djehuti, La Filosofía Del Libro De Hermes Mercurio Trismegisto, and finally my last work, The Verbum of Hermes Mercurius Ter Maximus for those who are brave enough to read, analyze, critic and learn the mysteries of ancient religions, philosophy, science, astronomy (astrology), chemistry (alchemy) and Theurgy of the ancient Sumerians, Egyptians and Chaldeans to name a few. I am the spiritual and psychical Hermes Mercurius Ter Maximus since I was able to enchant the heavens, speak with the birds of the sky, the animals of the oceans, the beasts of the fields and have communion with the gods and goddesses and observe their formless form behind all forms and become the man inside of the universal form of the highest G-d, a divine and cosmic androgyny. The true "Book of Thoth" is not physical and in your earthly dimensional confinement but it must be searched and found beyond the confinement of your earthly world and dimensional reality of your space-time and when you have vanquished your fears, egos and stop demonizing others more advance than you then, you will find such a book whose wisdom and understanding will open your mind and heart that you may decide to embrace G-d or be defeated by your own impurities and iniquities for only he and she who have a pure heart and spirit in essence may become one with the Absolute All. Do try your best to live a life in harmony with one another, with all life forms, with Nature and the Earth and the divine and cosmic laws since this is my last reincarnation and I will never again return to you to teach you the hidden, concealed and unrevealed wisdom contain in the primordial ocean of divine mind and spirit. I am the sacred and anointed Magi of the divine androgyny, which exists also as an infinite potential and creating force that permeates, sustains, nourishes and contains all things.
