Becoming Free, Becoming Black

Race, Freedom, and Law in Cuba, Virginia, and Louisiana

By: Alejandro de la Fuente,Ariela J. Gross

How did Africans become 'blacks' in the Americas? Becoming Free, Becoming Black tells the story of enslaved and free people of color who used the law to claim freedom and citizenship for themselves and their loved ones. Their communities challenged slaveholders' efforts to make blackness synonymous with slavery. Looking closely at three slave societies - Cuba, Virginia, and Louisiana - Alejandro de la Fuente and Ariela J. Gross demonstrate that the law of freedom - not slavery - established the meaning of blackness in law. Contests over freedom determined whether and how it was possible to move from slave to free status, and whether claims to citizenship would be tied to racial identity. Laws regulating the lives and institutions of free people of color created the boundaries between black and white, the rights reserved to white people, and the degradations imposed only on black people.

Escape from the Rocking Chair

Breaking the Cycle of Oscillation Between Success and Failure in Your Life and in the Church

By: Abraham Guerrero,Alejandro Bullon

This is a thorough analysis of the impact of structure on the mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and includes practical implications for real life that are deeply applicable for the rest of us. Describing the content of this book, George Knight noted that "Escape from the Rocking Chair is a provocative discussion of a topic that should continually be at the forefront of Adventist thinking" (from the foreword).The book's main thesis is that, whether it?s about our personal life, our business initiatives, or church life, all our efforts to succeed are condemned to rock back and forth in the rocking chair of life, between ?success? and failure unless we make mission the driving force in everything we do.As a peer reviewer said, "If you seek to understand the mission of the church?read this book. If you seek to understand the purpose of church structure?read this book. Most of all, if you seek to understand the mission of the Lord God for your life?read this book." (Thomas Lemon).More insights about the book are available at www.escapefromtherockingchair.com
