Download or read book Mayors and the Challenge of Urban Leadership written by Richard Michael Flanagan and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2004 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Big city mayors rank among the most powerful and colorful politicians in America. Yet few books focus on the leadership challenges the occupants of the office face. Mayors and the Challenge of Urban Leadership examines twelve case studies of mayoral leadership in seven cities, from the New Deal era to the beginning of the 21st century. The prospects for mayoral success or failure are driven by how mayors manage the fit between political commitments and the broader patterns of political competition. City Hall powerhouses like Richard J. Daley of Chicago (1954-76), David Lawrence of Pittsburgh (1946-58), Tom Bradley of Lost Angeles (1973-83), and Robert F. Wagner of New York (1954-65) came to power in times of political crisis. They realigned politics in their cities to reinvigorate municipal government and bolster their power. In contrast, mayors with less redoubtable reputations like Mayors Sam Yorty of Los Angeles (1961-73), Dennis Kucinich of Cleveland (1977-79), Jane Byrne of Chicago (1979-83), and Frank Rizzo of Philadelphia (1972-1980) were outsiders who lost their battles to challenge powerful political coalitions in their cities. The new breed mayors of the 1990s--among them Rudy Giuliani of New York, Dennis Archer of Detroit, and Ed Rendell of Philadelphia--used modern campaign and governing techniques and scored surprising policy and political victories as a result. Mayors and the Challenge of Urban Leadership concludes with a discussion of Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York, elected in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, as an exemplar of the modern style of governing big cities in the 21st century.
Download or read book Benjamin Elijah Mays Schoolmaster of the Movement written by Randal Maurice Jelks and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2012-05-15 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this first full-length biography of Benjamin Mays (1894-1984), Randal Maurice Jelks chronicles the life of the man Martin Luther King Jr. called his "spiritual and intellectual father." Dean of the Howard University School of Religion, president of Morehouse College, and mentor to influential black leaders, Mays had a profound impact on the education of the leadership of the black church and of a generation of activists, policymakers, and educators. Jelks argues that Mays's ability to connect the message of Christianity with the responsibility to challenge injustice prepared the black church for its pivotal role in the civil rights movement. From Mays's humble origins in Epworth, South Carolina, through his doctoral education, his work with institutions such as the National Urban League, the NAACP, and the national YMCA movement, and his significant career in academia, Jelks creates a rich portrait of the man, the teacher, and the scholar. Benjamin Elijah Mays, Schoolmaster of the Movement is a powerful portrayal of one man's faith, thought, and mentorship in bringing American apartheid to an end.

This book was released on 2023-12-17 with total page 2832 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joseph Smith's 'History of Joseph Smith, the Prophet and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' is a comprehensive account of the founding of the Mormon Church in the early 19th century. Written in a straightforward and informative style, the book provides deep insights into the religious and social context in which Smith operated, shedding light on the origins and development of one of America's most unique and influential religious movements. This work is not only a historical record but also a testament to Smith's spiritual experiences and his role as a charismatic leader. The narrative is rich in detail, drawing on personal accounts and historical documents to paint a vivid picture of the early days of the Mormon Church. Joseph Smith, as the founder of the Latter-day Saint movement, was uniquely positioned to write this account. His firsthand experiences and intimate knowledge of the events he describes give the book an authenticity and depth that resonate with readers. Smith's visionary leadership and unwavering faith are evident throughout the text, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in American religious history or the Mormon faith. I highly recommend 'History of Joseph Smith, the Prophet and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' to scholars, historians, and anyone seeking a profound understanding of the origins of the Mormon Church and the life of its founder. This book is a must-read for those interested in the intersection of religion, culture, and history in early America.
Download or read book Making Babies written by Sandra Sabatini and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the infant has been a consistent figure in literature (and, for many people, a significant figure in personal life), there’s been little attention focused on infants, or on their place in Canadian fiction, until now. In this book, Sandra Sabatini examines Canadian fiction to trace the ideological charge behind the represented infant. Examining writers from L.M. Montgomery and Frederick Philip Grove to Thomas King and Terry Griggs, Sabatini compares women’s writing about babies with the way infants appear in texts by men over the course of a century. She discovers a range of changing attitudes toward babies. After being seen as a source of financial burden, social shame, or sentimental fantasy, infants have increasingly become a source of value and meaning. The book challenges the perception of babies as passive objects of care and argues for a reading of the infant as a subject in itself. It also reflects upon how the representations of infancy in Canadian literature offer an intriguing portrait of how we imagine ourselves.
Download or read book Deep Roots written by Michael C. Burton and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep Roots: The African/Black Contribution To Christianity examines the contributions of African/black people to the formation of Christianity. Through a thorough and exhaustive study, Deep Roots details those who possessed African/Black ancestry in the Bible and in the early church as well as taking a look at the spread of Christianity through Africa. Deep Roots looks at the contribution of the early black church and how it helped to shape Christianity today. Review questions are provided at the end of each chapter in an effort for this book to be used for personal study or group study. "In a fresh and skillful manner Deep Roots portrays African/Black religious history from Biblical times to the present. In a clear, decisive and historical manner Michael Burton refutes the myths that "Christianity is the White Man's religion: as well as rebuking the supposed "curse of Ham." Michael Burton, in an easy to read manner, documents parts of history that have not been emphasized, such as the African early church fathers, the three African Popes as well as the development of the major Black denominations in America, from their historical, sociological and political roots to their present maturity. Deep Roots is a valuable book for scholars, ministers, seminarians, Sunday School teachers and students interested in the development, growth and contribution of black religion in America."

Download or read book The Myth of Colorblind Christians written by Jesse Curtis and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reveals how Christian colorblindness expanded white evangelicalism and excluded Black evangelicals In the decades after the civil rights movement, white Americans turned to an ideology of colorblindness. Personal kindness, not systemic reform, seemed to be the way to solve racial problems. In those same decades, a religious movement known as evangelicalism captured the nation’s attention and became a powerful political force. In The Myth of Colorblind Christians, Jesse Curtis shows how white evangelicals’ efforts to grow their own institutions created an evangelical form of whiteness, infusing the politics of colorblindness with sacred fervor. Curtis argues that white evangelicals deployed a Christian brand of colorblindness to protect new investments in whiteness. While black evangelicals used the rhetoric of Christian unity to challenge racism, white evangelicals repurposed this language to silence their black counterparts and retain power, arguing that all were equal in Christ and that Christians should not talk about race. As white evangelicals portrayed movements for racial justice as threats to Christian unity and presented their own racial commitments as fidelity to the gospel, they made Christian colorblindness into a key pillar of America’s religio-racial hierarchy. In the process, they anchored their own identities and shaped the very meaning of whiteness in American society. At once compelling and timely, The Myth of Colorblind Christians exposes how white evangelical communities avoided antiracist action and continue to thrive today.
