Book excerpt: "Whereas the centrality of femininity to nineteenth-century French fiction has been the focus of widespread critical attention, masculinity has, until recently, received little sustained treatment in either the literary or socio-historical domains. In this book, Nigel Harkness uses the fiction of George Sand (1804-1876), the pre-eminent woman writer of the period, to explore questions of masculinity as they pertain to the nineteenth-century French novel, and to map out new approaches to the study of literary masculinity. Drawing on contemporary theories of gender and narrative, Harkness reveals how Sands novels repeatedly focus on a nexus of language, masculinity and power, in which narrative is both a vehicle for the expression of manhood, and a site where masculinity is discursively performed. Masculinity is thus reconfigured in Sands fiction as an identity constituted as much through words as through actions. Analysis of the performances of masculinity staged in Sands novels opens onto an exploration of gendered processes of literary representation: the links between masculinity and the doxa, the equation of writing and power, the homosocial function of acts of narration, and the masculinity of authorship and authority."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why don't people believe the Bible like they used to? Do Christians themselves truly believe the Bible? Is the Word part true, part superstition? Is it fair to claim that the Bible is superior to other sacred writings? Curtis Pillsbury has encountered these controversial questions and more and has set out to answer them using biblical proof and personal experiences. If you have ever questioned Christianity, fear not. Curtis himself has battled similar doubts and has spent over twenty years disproving the myths. You will never again wonder, is the Bible The Oracles of God or the Words of Men? In a day in which postmodernism and humanism seek to dissolve absolute truth, Curtis Pillsbury has given us a tool to create a Christian worldview. The Oracles of God or the Words of Men? is a tool to combat New Age mumbo-jumbo and establish God's Word as an anchor for transformation and productivity. Curtis's work will help you wade through the minutia of philosophies combating real truth. Read this book as a key to your freedom. —Ron McIntosh, President of Ron McIntosh Ministries, Executive Director of Victory Bible Institute The Oracles of God or the Words of Men? will help secure for you a strong foundation in the Word of God and will strengthen your faith in the fact that God's Word is your final authority. With this revelation you can stand in the midst of any trial or temptation. This book will keep you in love with Jesus and his Word. —Terry Nance, author of God's Armorbearers

Book excerpt: This “important and timely” (Drew Faust, Harvard Magazine) #1 New York Times bestseller examines the legacy of slavery in America—and how both history and memory continue to shape our everyday lives. Beginning in his hometown of New Orleans, Clint Smith leads the reader on an unforgettable tour of monuments and landmarks—those that are honest about the past and those that are not—that offer an intergenerational story of how slavery has been central in shaping our nation's collective history, and ourselves. It is the story of the Monticello Plantation in Virginia, the estate where Thomas Jefferson wrote letters espousing the urgent need for liberty while enslaving more than four hundred people. It is the story of the Whitney Plantation, one of the only former plantations devoted to preserving the experience of the enslaved people whose lives and work sustained it. It is the story of Angola, a former plantation-turned-maximum-security prison in Louisiana that is filled with Black men who work across the 18,000-acre land for virtually no pay. And it is the story of Blandford Cemetery, the final resting place of tens of thousands of Confederate soldiers. A deeply researched and transporting exploration of the legacy of slavery and its imprint on centuries of American history, How the Word Is Passed illustrates how some of our country's most essential stories are hidden in plain view—whether in places we might drive by on our way to work, holidays such as Juneteenth, or entire neighborhoods like downtown Manhattan, where the brutal history of the trade in enslaved men, women, and children has been deeply imprinted. Informed by scholarship and brought to life by the story of people living today, Smith's debut work of nonfiction is a landmark of reflection and insight that offers a new understanding of the hopeful role that memory and history can play in making sense of our country and how it has come to be.
