José Luis Venegas, "The Sublime South: Andalusia, Orientalism, and the Making of Modern Spain"
English | ISBN: 0810137291 | 2018 | 240 pages | PDF | 6 MB
The Sublime South: Andalusia, Orientalism, and the Making of Modern Spain is the first systematic study on cultural images of Andalusia as Spain's "Orient" and the impact they have had on nation-building and modernization since the late nineteenth century. While a wealth of studies have examined how northern Europeans from the Romantic period viewed Spain and Andalusia as Europe's Orient, little attention has been paid to how contemporary Spanish artists and intellectuals assimilated Romantic legacies to engage in an internal form of orientalism.

The South African Communist Party, 1963-1990 By Eddy Maloka
2002 | 81 Pages | ISBN: 0798301554 | PDF | 44 MB
There is little written material on the history of the South African Communist Party (SACP) during the period 1963-1990. Material that does exist oftens lacks independence since it was influenced by Cold War bias, or was written by the Party itself. This succint volume on the SACP reconstructs the period from a post Cold War, and post- apartheid perspective. It covers for example the Bram-Fischer era and the aftermath of the Riviona offensive; the Morogoro conference, and its impact on the SACP's relationship with the African National Congress. The study considers the party's underground periods, its role in exile, its armed factions, and the various transformations the party underwent in the 1970s and 1980s. The author also discusses the party's ideology, strategy and tactics, internal dynamics and its relations with other political organisations.

Sergius Bulgakov, Roberto J de la Noval, David Bentley Hart, "The Sophiology of Death: Essays on Eschatology: Personal, Political, Universal"
English | 2021 | ISBN: 1532699662, 1532699654 | 228 pages | AZW3 / EPUB / MOBI | 1.3 MB
What will be the final destiny of the human race at God's eschatological judgment? Will all be saved, or only a few? How does Christian eschatology impact Christian political action in the here and now? And what is the destiny of each individual facing the prospect of earthly death? In these essays, Russian Orthodox theologian Sergius Bulgakov (1871-1944) brings the resources of Scripture and tradition to bear on these vital questions, arguing for the magnificent final restoration of all creatures to union with God in a universal salvation worthy of the infinite scope of Christ's redemption. Bulgakov also provides insight into how Christians can strive to bring God's kingdom to earth in anticipation of the peace and justice of the heavenly Jerusalem. The reader will also find in these pages profound theological reflections on the nature of human death and Christ's accompaniment of all humans in their dying, based on Bulgakov's own near-death experience. Together, these essays shed new light on eschatology in all its facets: personal, political, and universal.

The Return of Lucretius to Renaissance Florence By Alison Brown
2010 | 160 Pages | ISBN: 0674050320 | PDF | 4 MB
In this first comprehensive study of the effect of Lucretius's De rerum natura on Florentine thought in the Renaissance, Alison Brown demonstrates how Lucretius was used by Florentine thinkers―earlier and more widely than has been supposed―to provide a radical critique of prevailing orthodoxies.To answer the question of why ordinary Florentines were drawn to this recently discovered text, despite its threat to orthodox Christian belief, Brown tracks interest in it through three humanists―the most famous of whom was Machiavelli―all working not as philologists but as practical administrators and teachers in the Florentine chancery and university. Interpreting their direct use of Lucretius within the context of mercantile Florence, Brown highlights three dangerous themes that had particular appeal: Lucretius's attack on superstitious religion and an afterlife; his pre-Darwinian theory of evolution; and his atomism, with its theory of free will and the chance creation of the world. The humanists' challenge to established beliefs encouraged the growth of a "Lucretian network" of younger, politically disaffected Florentines. Brown thus adds a missing dimension to our understanding of the "revolution" in sixteenth-century political thinking, as she enriches our definition of the Renaissance in a context of newly discovered worlds and new social networks.

, "The Promise of Multispecies Justice"
English | ISBN: 1478018895 | 2022 | 296 pages | PDF | 7 MB
What are the possibilities for multispecies justice? How do social justice struggles intersect with the lives of animals, plants, and other creatures? Leading thinkers in anthropology, geography, philosophy, speculative fiction, poetry, and contemporary art answer these questions from diverse grounded locations. In America, Indigenous peoples and prisoners are decolonizing multispecies relations in unceded territory and carceral landscapes. Small justices are emerging in Tanzanian markets, near banana plantations in the Philippines, and in abandoned buildings of Azerbaijan as people navigate relations with feral dogs, weeds, rats, and pesticides. Conflicts over rights of nature are intensifying in Colombia's Amazon. Specters of justice are emerging in India, while children in Micronesia memorialize extinct bird species. Engaging with ideas about environmental justice, restorative justice, and other species of justice,
