Download Free Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Theology of Resistance PDF by Rufus Burrow, Jr. Full Book and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-12-31 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been nearly fifty years since Martin Luther King, Jr., was assassinated at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. Appraisals of King's contributions began almost immediately and continues to this day. The author explores an astonishing number of King's chief ideas and social-ethical practice: his concept of a moral universe; his doctrine of human dignity; his belief that not all suffering is redemptive; his brand of personalism; his contribution to the development of social ethics; the inclusion of young people in the movement; sexism as a contradiction to his personalism; the problem of black-on-black violence, and others. Burrows' essays reveal both the strengths and the limitations in King's theological socio-ethical project, and shows him to have relentlessly applied personalist ideas to organized nonviolent resistance campaigns in order to change the world.

Download Free Light the Road of Freedom PDF by Sahbaa Al-Barbari Full Book and published by University of Alberta. This book was released on 2021-09-27 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sahbaa Al-Barbari’s story provides a unique perspective on Palestinian experiences before and after the 1948 Nakba. Born and educated in Gaza, Al-Barbari was an activist in her community. When Israel occupied the Gaza Strip in 1967, Al-Barbari and her husband Mu’in Bseiso became refugees, stripped of their residency rights and forced to live in exile for the next three decades. While in exile, moving from Lebanon to Syria, Libya, Kuwait, Egypt, and finally Tunisia, Al-Barbari held tight to her hope of one day returning to Gaza. Her life speaks volumes about the struggle experienced by millions of disenfranchised Palestinians, separated from family members and their homeland. This is the second book in the Women’s Voices from Gaza series, which honours women’s unique and underrepresented perspectives on the social, material, and political realities of Palestinian life.

Book excerpt: Straight Outta Compton meets Vikings, when the hood battles corrupt cops, martial law and hate groups after a rogue DARPA experiment strips away guns in this action packed thriller! The Bill of Rights is suspended, slavery is legalized, and militias, and hate groups tear America apart. All the result of a rogue cabal of scientists, whose dreams of a peaceful world without modern weapons, turned into a nightmare of violence, and tyranny, plunging humanity into a new dark age. Chessed was just trying to avoid the pull of his checkered past, and survive. It was bad enough, navigating the hood, poverty, gentrification, student loan debt, and Blue Lives Matter. When conspiracy theories walk off his favorite websites, and onto the streets with a resurgent confederacy, deep state power moves, and draconian executive orders, he had a simple desire. Protect his family and community, by any means necessary. With a crew of motley allies, Chessed sets his feet on a road walked by childhood heroes like Nat Turner, Crazy Horse, and Julius Caeser. Tapping the power of dreams deferred, Chessed uses his sword arm, and his intellect, leading to a struggle against Nazi's, hostile government, corrupt cops, and right wing extremists that echoes the larger battle for the soul of the nation. The Road of Resistance is everything we love about medieval fantasy brought to the modern age! Step into a world where the clash of swords, jangle of harness, and the hiss of arrows, meets diverse characters, hip-hop & street culture. The result is a fun action packed narrative, that's like an epic intersection between Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers, and Game of Thrones, Influenced by the likes of Steven Erikson, Milton Davis, Balogun Ojatede, Mark Lawrence, and Miles Cameron, The Road of Resistance is an intoxicating blend, of books like Malazan, Prince of Thorns, or The Red Knight, mixed with shows like The Boondocks, Power, or urban classic movies like State Property, Shottas, and Belly!

Download Free Fred Zinnemann and the Cinema of Resistance PDF by J. E. Smyth Full Book and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2014-02-13 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fred Zinnemann directed some of the most acclaimed and controversial films of the twentieth century, yet he has been a shadowy presence in Hollywood history. In Fred Zinnemann and the Cinema of Resistance, J. E. Smyth reveals the intellectual passion behind some of the most powerful films ever made about the rise and resistance to fascism and the legacy of the Second World War, from The Seventh Cross and The Search to High Noon, From Here to Eternity, and Julia. Smyth’s book is the first to draw upon Zinnemann’s extensive papers at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and brings Fred Zinnemann’s vision, voice, and film practice to life. In his engagement with the defining historical struggles of the twentieth century, Zinnemann fought his own battles with the Hollywood studio system, the critics, and a public bent on forgetting. Zinnemann’s films explore the role of women and communists in the antifascist resistance, the West’s support of Franco after the Spanish Civil War, and the darker side of America’s national heritage. Smyth reconstructs a complex and conflicted portrait of Zinnemann’s cinema of resistance, examining his sketches, script annotations, editing and production notes, and personal letters. Illustrated with seventy black-and-white images from Zinnemann’s collection, Fred Zinnemann and the Cinema of Resistance discusses the director’s professional and personal relationships with Spencer Tracy, Montgomery Clift, Audrey Hepburn, Vanessa Redgrave, and Gary Cooper; the critical reaction to his revisionist Western, High Noon; his battles over the censorship of From Here to Eternity, The Nun’s Story, and Behold a Pale Horse; his unrealized history of the communist Revolution in China, Man’s Fate; and the controversial study of political assassination, The Day of the Jackal. In this intense, richly textured narrative, Smyth enters the mind of one of Hollywood’s master directors, redefining our knowledge of his artistic vision and practice.

Download Free Mao's Road to Power: Revolutionary Writings, 1912-49: v. 6: New Stage (August 1937-1938) PDF by Zedong Mao Full Book and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 928 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 1936, after a decade of Civil War and even before the Xi'an Incident, Mao Zedong had begun talking about a "New Stage" of cooperation between the Guomindang and the Communist Party. With the establishment of a framework for cooperation between the two parties, and as Japan began its brutal war against China, Mao began to develop this theme more systematically in both the political and military spheres. This volume documents the evolution of Mao's thinking in this area that found its culmination in his long report to the Sixth Enlarged Plenum of the Central Committee in October, 1938, explicitly entitled "On the New Stage" and presented here in its entirety. It was also during this period that Mao delivered a course of lectures on dialectical materialism after reading and annotating a number of works on Marxist theory by Soviet and Chinese authors. These lectures, from which "On Practice" and "On Contradiction" were later extracted, are also translated here in their entirety.

Book excerpt: This is an epic oral history of Vietnam's bloodiest campaign, fought for seven months in a series of battles, most of them within four miles of each other, along Route 534. Staring in October 1967, orders came down to the 2nd North Vietnamese Army Division commanding them to join with the local Viet Cong and seize the city of Danang in the Tet Offensive. After fighting for seven months in the Que Son Valley, the division was so battered that it failed to carry out its mission, with only one platoon making it inside the city limits. This is the true-life accounts of what fighting was like in that narrow, bloody valley from the veteran's own mouths, and how that saved Danang from suffering the same fate as Hue City
