Lost Tribes and Promised Lands The Origins of American Racism [Audiobook]


Free Download Ronald Sanders, Karen Chilton (Narrator), "Lost Tribes and Promised Lands: The Origins of American Racism"
English | ISBN: 9781666670684 | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~19:46:00 | 544 MB
THE COMPLETE ORIGINAL EDITION: An utterly revelatory work. Unprecedented in scope, detail, and ambition.
In Lost Tribes and Promised Lands, celebrated historian and cultural critic Ronald Sanders offers a compelling and ideology-shattering history of racial prejudice and myth as shaped by political, religious, and economic forces from the 14th Century to the present day. Written with clear-eyed vigor, Sanders draws on a broad history of art, psychology, politics, and religion to inform his striking and soundly reasoned assertions.
Lost Tribes and Promised Lands nimbly zig-zags through space and time, doggedly chipping away at the myopic history of discovery and righteous conquest that has been reiterated for decades by the same ideological forces responsible for centuries of mythological prejudice and racial strife. Placing 14th Century Spanish intolerance (specifically anti-Semitism) as the origins of American racism toward African and Native Americans, Sanders elegantly weaves complex threads of colonial economics, religious exceptionalism, and xenophobia into a heady and often-infuriating thesis on the history of racism.

Poverty in the Promised Land Neighborliness, Resistance, and Restoration


Free Download Walter Brueggemann, "Poverty in the Promised Land: Neighborliness, Resistance, and Restoration"
English | ASIN : B0CVF3TKWJ | 2024 | 105 pages | PDF | 3 MB
This book provides biblical evidence of the structural and systemic factors that have long been part of the story of poverty. The people of God have often denied such structural claims in favor of the belief that individuals are poor because of personal choice. This absolves the social institutions of society, including the church, from responsibility to address these structural forces, including within the church itself. Charity and benevolence become the antidote for such a diagnosis of poverty, rather than the deeply rooted change that God intended for the Year of Jubilee and that the early church reflected. This book supports the biblical mandate of neighborliness as both a personal and a corporate response to systemic poverty, a mandate that is the second of the two great commandments.
