Towards Tragedy/reclaiming Hope

Literature, Theology And Sociology In Conversation

BY BEN PINK-DANDELION, DOUGLAS GWYN, RACHEL MUERS, BRIAN PHILLIPS, AND RICHARD STRUM
The 'death of tragedy' in the modern era has been debated in recent years, largely in terms of literature and western culture in general. Today, any catastrophe is likely to be labeled a 'tragedy', without any inference of a larger, transcendent horizon or providential design. This book offers new perspectives on the idea of the 'death of tragedy', taking England and the Religious Society of Friends in particular as a case study. The different disciplinary perspectives of the contributing authors bring literature, history, theology and sociology into a creative and revealing conversation.

The Trader, The Owner, The Slave

Parallel Lives In The Age Of Slavery

BY JAMES WALVIN
John Newton (1725-1807), best-known as the writer of "Amazing Grace," was a slave captain who marshaled his human cargoes with a brutality that he looked back on with shame and contrition. Thomas Thistlewood (1721-1786), lived his life in a remote corner of western Jamaica, and his unique diary provides some of the most revealing images of a slave-owner's life in the most valuable of all British slave colonies. Olaudah Equiano (1745-1797), was practically unknown thirty years ago, but is now an iconic figure in black history and his experience as a slave who speaks out for the lives of millions who went unrecorded.

The Transformation Of American Quakerism

BY THOMAS HAMM
In 1800 American Quakers lived in a unique religious environment, characterized by quietism and "the plain life." By 1900 the religious sect had become virtually indistinguishable from the Protestant mainstream, absorbed by the same questions of modernism that troubled other denominations. Thomas Hamm's detailed historical study sheds new light on this transformation, filling a major gap in the literature of American Quakerism and American religion as a whole.

The Transition Handbook

From Oil Dependency To Local Resilience

BY ROB HOPKINS
The Transition Handbook shows how the changes ahead can lead to the rebirth of local communities that will grow more of their own food, generate their own power, and build their own houses using local materials. There are now over 30 "transition towns" in the UK,& Australasia. They provide valuable experience and lessons-learned for those of us on this side of the Atlantic. With little proactive thinking at the governmental level, communities are taking matters into their own hands and acting locally. If your town is not a transition town, this upbeat guide offers you the tools for starting the process.

HARI, DAOUD
Daoud, a Zaghawa tribesman in northern Darfur, fled his village, which was under attack by Sudanese militiamen, in 2003. His brother was killed and his family driven into exile across Sudan. Lamenting the demise of old traditions that called for the settlement of disputes among ethnic groups with peaceable dinners in one another's homes, Daoud fought back in his efforts as a translator to help document the carnage in his native land. In this first-person account, Daoud recalls imprisonment in Egypt, suffering in refugee camps, and efforts by ordinary Sudanese to hold onto families and hope in the face of genocide.

Traveling Between The Lines

Europe In 1938: The Trip Journal Of John F. Randolph And His Daughter's Response

BY REBECCA MCBRIDE
Quaker author Rebecca McBride writes in response to her father's journal of a trip taken by her parents to Europe in 1938, one year before the start of World War II. John F. Randolph, 34, a mathematician, and his wife Margaret, 27, traveled by train, rented bicycles, and slept in youth hostels--a typical tour in an atypical time. Knowing what took place in Germany in 1938 and what would follow throughout Europe, the author began to research the historical context for the trip and ask, how much did they know, and what did they see? The book combines her father's trip journal with her historical commentary, including references to Quakers and AFSC involvement in helping Jewish refugees.
