Book excerpt: This work is set during the Bosnian war of 1992 - '95, yet it is not concerned with the politics of those who led their people down the road to war, nor of the reactions (or lack thereof) of the Western powers. It deals with the impact that these events had on the lives of thousands of ordinary people as they joined the world's twenty seven million refugees. It is an attempt to look at the effects of this war from a human point of view, and most of all to try to show the realities of the world of the dispossessed. What is that particular state of being, that unique state of loss, which we neatly classify as 'being a refugee.' Some people might find the format of this book a little unusual and confusing at first: you will find factual description, personal anecdotes, actual letters, poetry and narrative woven together to form a picture of the lives of those damaged by the conflict. Interwoven with all of that, reflecting and echoing all that is happening on the larger stage of war and flight, is the kernel of a love story. In this way it reflects real life; with our understanding of an event being built up through a whole range of observations, media coverage and hearsay, and creating an overall impression which is formed through both emotional and intellectual stimuli. You no doubt read the newspaper reports and saw the television footage at the time; these are the lives which lie behind those images. It is not a book that should be read as a novel, for the stories recounted here are true ones: it is the condensed and concentrated essence of an experience.

Book excerpt: Game of Thrones meets Graceling in this thrilling fantasy, the heart-pounding sequel to New York Times bestseller Snow Like Ashes. This action-packed series is perfect for fans of An Ember in the Ashes and A Court of Thorns and Roses. It’s been three months since the Winterians were freed and Spring’s king, Angra, disappeared—thanks largely to the help of Cordell. Meira just wants her people to be safe. When Cordellan debt forces the Winterians to dig their mines for payment, they unearth something powerful and possibly dangerous: Primoria’s lost chasm of magic. The last time the world had access to so much magic, it spawned the Decay. So when the king of Cordell orders Meira and Theron on a mission to discover the chasm’s secrets, Meira plans on using the trip to garner support to keep the chasm shut and Winter safe—even if it means clashing with Theron. But can she do so without endangering the people she loves? Mather just wants to be free. The horrors inflicted on the Winterians hang fresh and raw in Jannuari—leaving Winter vulnerable to Cordell’s growing oppression. When Meira leaves to search for allies, Mather decides to take Winter’s security into his own hands. Can he rebuild his broken Kingdom and protect his people from new threats? As the web of power and deception is woven tighter, Theron fights for magic, Mather fights for freedom—and Meira starts to wonder if she should be fighting not just for Winter but for the world.

Book excerpt: African American theologian Maria Stewart was born free in Connecticut, and delivered five speeches in Boston and New York between 1831 and 1833 that were published with other writings by her in 1835 and 1879 as Productions of Mrs. Maria W. Stewart. Though the speeches were highly political, Cooper argues that they are also deeply theological, and shows how they use the Bible extensively to buttress Stewart's arguments on behalf of blacks' and women's rights and empowerment.

Book excerpt: Like Fire chronicles an indigenous movement for radical change in Papua New Guinea from 1946 to the present. The movement’s founder, Paliau Maloat, promoted a program for step-by-step social change in which many of his followers also found hope for a miraculous millenarian transformation. Drawing on data collected over several decades, Theodore Schwartz and Michael French Smith describe the movement’s history, Paliau’s transformation from secular reformer and politician to Melanesian Jesus, and the development of the current incarnation of the movement as Wind Nation, a fully millenarian endeavour. Their analysis casts doubt on common ways of understanding a characteristically Melanesian form of millenarianism, the cargo cult, and questions widely accepted ways of interpreting millenarianism in general. They show that to understand the human proclivity for millenarianism we must scrutinise more closely two near-universal human tendencies: difficulty accepting the role of chance or impersonal forces in shaping events (that is, the tendency to personify causation), and a tendency to imagine that one or one’s group is the focus of the malign or benign attention of purposeful entities, from the local to the cosmic. Schwartz and Smith discuss the prevalence of millenarianism and warn against romanticising it, because the millenarian mind can subvert rationality and nourish rage and fear even as it seeks transcendence. ‘Like Fire consummates remarkable longitudinal ethnographic research on the Paliau Movement in Papua New Guinea, pursued from the 1950s into the 1990s by Theodore Schwartz, with Michael French Smith as his sometime assistant, and updated by Smith in 2015. The theoretical arguments are highly provocative and the book is well written and fascinating throughout. Like Fire poses important questions about the driving forces and contours of Pacific Island history and the place in it of cargo cults and other millenarian movements.’ —Aletta Biersack, Professor Emerita, University of Oregon ‘Like Fire synthesises old, but inaccessible, and new material on an important and long-lasting indigenous Melanesian movement, while making extensive use of the wider literature on cargo cults and millenarianism. I find the theorising in this book both very original and an important contribution to the debates on Melanesian religion, cargo cults, and millenarianism more generally. As the authors state, the topic of millenarianism has great relevance because of its ubiquity in the contemporary world.’ —Ton Otto, Professor of Anthropology, Aarhus University, Denmark, and James Cook University, Australia
