Carries Phenomenal Journey vicariously takes you along on this wild journey of love. We stroll Parisian streets; hike the sandy roads of Niamey, Niger; mingle with people; and immerse ourselves in cultures. Sometimes we watch, laugh, or sigh and assimilate together. I opened Carries Phenomenal Journey and was smitten with a young African American girls dream of an education. I followed this heroineand I dont use that word lightlythrough falling in love to the betrayal and divorce. Carries dream had not died, and soon she found hope and fulfillment in education and a promising career in education. But life was nowhere over. I celebrated as Carrie moves to Paris to study the language in preparation for her service in Niger, West Africa. I flew over the Sahara desert with Carrie, saw the blue men of the Taureg, and clapped with the colorful tribe women under Carries nurturing wing. As her days in the field came to a close Carrie returns to family and creating a home in Jacksonville, Florida. Carol ODell, author of Mothering Mother: A Daughters Humorous and Heartbreaking Memoir An informative and entertaining book written by someone who spent years living with the peoples of Africa.

Summer's Gold

And Its Redemptive Ooze

By: Carrie Whitfield

Joshua walked to the front of the room and stood behind the podium. From deep within, he heard these words. I have received a marvelous gift. This gift cost its bearer his life. It is a gift of love of hope of redemption for all who enter into it. I will build a church, that all may know and receive the great gift of God. On his deathbed an evangelist bequeaths his vision of a church and the gift of gold to build it to a fortuitous young man, Joshua Summer-but with a binding promise. Summer's Gold And Its Redemptive Ooze follows Summer's arduous quest to fulfill this vision through the challenges and triumphs of living in the American South during the 1890s. Halfheartedly accepting the responsibility of his quest, Summer clashes with local law enforcement, is pursued by Federal agents, and encounters the K-group, a racist faction similar to the Ku Klux Klan. But it is only when he experiences soul-wrenching changes and emerges as a confident, mature man that he becomes a true believer, a man ready to build his church. After overcoming racial prejudice, Summer unites the whole county through the power of God's transformative love, providing a healing balm to this hate-filled community.

Systematic List of Fossil Decapod Crustacean Species

By: Carrie Schweitzer,Rodney Feldmann,Alessandro Garassino,Hiroaki Karasawa,Günter Schweigert

A compilation of all known species of fossil decapod crustaceans arrayed in a modern classification based upon the work of numerous students of extant and fossil decapods represents the first such attempt in nearly 100 years. The systematic list cites authors and carefully verified dates of authorship as well as a complete list of references to all taxa cited. The work is intended to provide insight into the range and relative numbers of fossil taxa within the suborder Decapoda. The compilation will permit interpretation of the nature of completeness of the fossil record and will provide a platform for future research on this important, diverse group of organisms.

Costly Democracy

Peacebuilding and Democratization After War

By: Christoph Zürcher,Carrie Manning,Kristie D. Evenson,Rachel Hayman,Sarah Riese,Nora Roehner

Peacebuilding is an interactive process that involves collaboration between peacebuilders and the victorious elites of a postwar society. While one of the most prominent assumptions of the peacebuilding literature asserts that the interests of domestic elites and peacebuilders coincide, Costly Democracy contends that they rarely align. It reveals that, while domestic elites in postwar societies may desire the resources that peacebuilders can bring, they are often less eager to adopt democracy, believing that democratic reforms may endanger their substantive interests. The book offers comparative analyses of recent cases of peacebuilding to deepen understanding of postwar democratization and better explain why peacebuilding missions often bring peace—but seldom democracy—to war-torn countries.

From Dixie to Rocky Top

Music and Meaning in Southeastern Conference Football

By: Carrie Tipton

Listen as you read! From Dixie to Rocky Top: Book Playlist, now on Spotify. The first book to explore the history of college fight songs as a culturally important phenomenon, From Dixie to Rocky Top zeroes in on the US South, where college football has forged a powerful, quasi-religious sense of meaning and identity throughout the region. Tracing the story of Southeastern Conference (SEC) fight songs from the late nineteenth to the early twenty-first century, author Carrie Tipton places this popular repertory within the broader commercial music industry and uses fight songs to explore themes of authorship and copyright; the commodification of school spirit; and the construction of race, gender, and regional identity in Southern football culture. This book unearths the history embedded in SEC football’s music traditions, drawing from the archives of the seventeen universities currently or formerly in the conference. Alongside rich primary sources, Tipton incorporates approaches and literature from sports history, Southern and American history, Southern and American studies, and musicology. Chronicling iconic Southern fight songs’ origins, dissemination, meanings, and cultural reception over a turbulent century, From Dixie to Rocky Top weaves a compelling narrative around a virtually unstudied body of popular music.

The Epic and Forgotten Story of Hispanic North America

El Norte

The Epic and Forgotten Story of Hispanic North America

By: Carrie Gibson

A sweeping saga of the Spanish history and influence in North America over five centuries, from the acclaimed author of Empire’s Crossroads. Because of our shared English language, as well as the celebrated origin tales of the Mayflower and the rebellion of the British colonies, the United States has prized its Anglo heritage above all others. However, as Carrie Gibson explains with great depth and clarity in El Norte, the nation has much older Spanish roots?ones that have long been unacknowledged or marginalized. The Hispanic past of the United States predates the arrival of the Pilgrims by a century, and has been every bit as important in shaping the nation as it exists today. El Norte chronicles the dramatic history of Hispanic North America from the arrival of the Spanish in the early 16th century to the present?from Ponce de Leon’s initial landing in Florida in 1513 to Spanish control of the vast Louisiana territory in 1762 to the Mexican-American War in 1846 and up to the more recent tragedy of post-hurricane Puerto Rico and the ongoing border acrimony with Mexico. Interwoven in this narrative of events and people are cultural issues that have been there from the start but which are unresolved to this day: language, belonging, community, race, and nationality. Seeing them play out over centuries provides vital perspective at a time when it is urgently needed. In 1883, Walt Whitman meditated on his country’s Spanish past: “We Americans have yet to really learn our own antecedents, and sort them, to unify them,” predicting that “to that composite American identity of the future, Spanish character will supply some of the most needed parts.” That future is here, and El Norte, a stirring and eventful history in its own right, will make a powerful impact on our national understanding. “This history debunks the myth of American exceptionalism by revisiting a past that is not British and Protestant but Hispanic and Catholic. Gibson begins with the arrival of Spaniards in La Florida, in 1513, discusses Mexico’s ceding of territory to the U.S., in 1848, and concludes with Trump’s nativist fixations. Along the way, she explains how California came to be named after a fictional island in a book by a Castilian Renaissance writer and asks why we ignore a chapter of our history that began long before the Pilgrims arrived. At a time when the building of walls occupies so much attention, Gibson makes a case for the blurring of boundaries.” —New Yorker “A sweeping and accessible survey of the Hispanic history of the U.S. that illuminates the integral impact of the Spanish and their descendants on the U.S.’s social and cultural development. . . . This unusual and insightful work provides a welcome and thought-provoking angle on the country’s history, and should be widely appreciated.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review, PW Pick

Carrie Mae Weems

Reflections for now

By: Carrie Mae Weems,DJ Spooky

Carrie Mae Weems zählt zu den wichtigsten und einflussreichsten zeitgenössischen Künstlerinnen der USA und ist weit über die Kunstszene hinaus bekannt. Ihr in mehr als vier Jahrzehnten entstandenes Werk kreist um die Themenkomplexe kulturelle Identität, Strukturen der Macht, Begehren, Intimität, Rassismus und soziale Gerechtigkeit. Weems stellt die Konstruktion von race, Geschlecht und Klasse in Frage. Sie arbeitet mit Fotografie, Video, Performance, Installation und Textilien und dekonstruiert dominante historische Narrative, die von Wissenschaft und Bildung, Architektur und Massenmedien geprägt und fortgeschrieben werden. Die Publikation entstand im Kontext der Ausstellungen in der Barbican Art Gallery in London und im Kunstmuseum Basel und versammelt erstmals eine Auswahl von Schriften, Vorträgen und Gesprächen der Künstlerin, die persönliche Einblicke geben und ihre Auseinandersetzung mit den Folgen von Macht, künstlerischer Aneignung, der Bedeutung von Musik als Inspiration, Geschichtsschreibung und der normativen Rolle der Architektur zeigen.

Seduced into Darkness

Transcending My Psychiatrist's Sexual Abuse

By: Carrie Ishee

Seduced into Darkness: Transcending My Psychiatrist’s Sexual Abuse is a vivid and captivating story of hope for survivors of abuse as well as a case study in a skilled manipulator’s tragic exploitation of his professional power. This poignant memoir chronicles the traumatic psychological abduction and sexual exploitation of depressed college student Carrie Tansey at the hands of her psychiatrist, Dr. Anthony Romano—thirty-one years her senior. For three years, their secret “affair” was carefully calculated and controlled by Romano, as Carrie’s mental and emotional health continued to deteriorate, bringing her closer and closer to the edge. Their dual-relationship finally came to light when Carrie’s suicide attempts landed her in a world-renowned psychiatric hospital. Gradually, she began to reclaim her power, reported Romano to the state licensing board, successfully sued him for malpractice, and testified before the state legislature to bring awareness to such abuses. As Carrie tells her tale, it is a journey paralleling that of the mythical archetype Persephone, the naive innocent who was abducted into darkness, reemerged and regenerated herself, then fearlessly returned to the prison she had fled, this time to help free others. Today, Carrie Ishee is a widely respected art therapist and life coach as well as a teacher specializing in the issues of ethics, self-care, and boundaries for mental health professionals.

Meaning Train

Essays on Religion and Politics

By: Carrie Cunningham

Meaning Train is a collection of essays, based on books and interviews, that counter the divisive practice of subjugating others. It reveals a benign moral compass in which anyone who wants to improve the world can follow. The inspiration for the book is the idea of a beloved community honed during the civil rights movement in the 1960s. Based on the example of Jesus Christ, the notion guided leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr. in addition to John Lewis and Fannie Lou Hammer. Together, with love and care in their hearts, they ended the segregation laws of Jim Crow and black disenfranchisement. The book brims with soul and empathy. It outlines the issues of our era with ideas of human dignity. The essays include the struggle for racial equality in America and South Africa; the agony of the Holocaust and the battle for peace among Israelis and Palestinians; the lives of Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ and Christian feminist theology; the morally right fight against Islamophobia and the need for pluralism in the Middle East; and the contributions of historian David McCullough and politician Bobby Kennedy. The panoply of essays will captivate and stir the human soul. “(Carrie Cunningham’s) writing steels the prophetic voice for social action, reminding us of the foundation we stand on, forged in fire by our forebears in the struggle.” — James Waddell, Associate Professor of New Testament, Ecumenical Theological Seminary
