Christopher C. Fennell,Paul A. Shackel: Crossroads and Cosmologies : Diasporas and Ethnogenesis in the New World
Description
Christopher Fennell offers a fresh perspective on ways that the earliest enslaved Africans preserved vital aspects of their traditions and identities in the New World. He also explores similar developments among European immigrants and the interactions of both groups with Native Americans. Focusing on extant artifacts left by displaced Africans, Fennell finds that material culture and religious ritual contributed to a variety of modes of survival in mainland North America as well as in the Caribbean and Brazil. Over time, new symbols of culture led to further changes in individual customs and beliefs as well as the creation of new social groups and new expressions of identity. Presenting insights from archaeology, history, and symbolic anthropology, this book traces the dynamic legacy of the trans-Atlantic diasporas over four centuries, and it challenges existing concepts of creolization and cultural retention. In the process, it examines some of the major cultural belief systems of west and west central Africa, specific symbols of the BaKongo and Yoruba cosmologies, development of prominent African-American religious expressions in the Americas, and the Christian and non-Christian spiritual traditions of German-speaking immigrants from central Europe.
Twelve tantalising cases for the retired private investigator Parker Pyne, who solves the personal cases that Scotland Yard won't handle...Mrs Packington felt alone, helpless and utterly forlorn. But her life changed when she stumbled upon an advertisement in The Times which read: 'ARE YOU HAPPY? IF NOT, CONSULT MR PARKER PYNE'. Equally adept at putting together the pieces of a marriage or the fragments of a murder mystery, Mr Parker Pyne was possibly the world's most unconventional private eye - and certainly its most charming. Using discoveries from the largest study of hopeful people ever conducted, Shane J. Lopez, PhD, the world s preeminent expert on hope (Sonja Lyubomirsky, author of "The How of Happiness"), reveals that hope is Food Is Better Medicine Than Drugs : Don't go to your doctor before reading this book free pdf not just an emotion but an essential life tool. Hope is a leading indicator of success in relationships, academics, career, and business, and with "Making Hope Happen, "you can measure your level of hope and learn how to increase, use, and share it. In addition, Lopez shares the uplifting stories of real people who have created hope in their own lives and communities, from a CEO who befriended a curious nine-year-old to a college student who is thriving after two heart transplants.
