Codex Sierra

A Nahuatl-Mixtec Book of Accounts from Colonial Mexico

By: Kevin Terraciano

One of the earliest texts written in a Native American language, the Codex Sierra is a sixteenth-century book of accounts from Santa Catalina Texupan, a community in the Mixteca region of the modern state of Oaxaca. Kevin Terraciano’s transcription and translation, the first in more than a half century, combine with his deeply informed analysis to make this the most accurate, complete, and comprehensive English-language edition of this rare manuscript. The sixty-two-page manuscript, organized in parallel columns of Nahuatl alphabetic writing and hand-painted images, documents the expenditures and income of Texupan from 1550 to 1564. With the alphabetic column as a Rosetta stone for deciphering the phonetic glyphs, a picture emerges of indigenous pueblos taking part in the burgeoning Mexican silk industry—only to be buffeted by the opening of trade with China and the devastations of the great epidemics of the late 1500s. Terraciano uses a wide range of archival sources from the period to demonstrate how the community innovated and adapted to the challenges of the time, and how they were ultimately undermined by the actions and policies of colonial officials. The first known record of an indigenous population’s integration into the transatlantic economy, and of the impact of the transpacific trade on a lucrative industry in the region, the Codex Sierra provides a unique window on the world of the Mixteca less than a generation after the conquest—a view rendered all the more precise, clear, and coherent by this new translation and commentary.

Community, Civic Engagement and Democratic Governance in Africa

The Case of Ghana

By: Mary R. Anderson,Kevin S. Fridy

This book explores how community influences civic engagement, focusing on the case of Ghana. It offers an interdisciplinary perspective to those studying psychology, political development and civic engagement in African countries. Previous research has shown that the social and economic context in which an individual interacts influences their political behaviors and attitudes, and that personal characteristics account for differences in political behavior and attitudes. This work moves away from the cultural demographics of a person, which often take center stage in existing investigations of partisan political behavior in the African context, and addresses the following five questions: (1) To what extent do individual traits influence civic engagement in Ghana? (2) To what extent is community identity similar or different in small rural villages versus large metropolitan areas in Ghana and how does community identity influence civic engagement? (3) To what extent does trust influence civic engagement in Ghana? (4) What factors and activities influence political knowledge and how does political knowledge influence civic engagement? (5) What is the status of women in civic engagement?

Crazy Busy

A (Mercifully) Short Book about a (Really) Big Problem

By: Kevin DeYoung

Winner of the 2014 Christian Book of the Year Award "I'M TOO BUSY!" We've all heard it. We've all said it. All too often, busyness gets the best of us. Just one look at our jam-packed schedules tells us how hard it can be to strike a well-reasoned balance between doing nothing and doing it all. That's why award-winning author and pastor Kevin DeYoung addresses the busyness problem head on in his newest book, Crazy Busy — and not with the typical arsenal of time management tips, but rather with the biblical tools we need to get to the source of the issue and pull the problem out by the roots. Highly practical and super short, Crazy Busy will help you put an end to "busyness as usual.

Crossing Over

By: Kevin Menezes

For as long as I can remember, I had one excuse for all conscious sin. If I felt guilty about anything I had done I'd justify myself saying, "Well, if I knew for certain that God really existed, I wouldn't do that." I wanted to be sure God existed before getting my act together because it would be really tragic otherwise. Imagine holding back from all the pleasures of life because you had your eyes fixed on some "grand reward" only to later find out God was a hoax. So I told God, "Prove to me that You exist and I won't do any of that ever again." Then, one day, God showed up. He took me by the hand, led me out of the wilderness, and opened my heart and mind to the spectacular. This book captures the lessons God taught me along the way. Life is a mirage. We only see and feel what we want to. But we owe it to ourselves to at least once in our lifetime see things as they really are and explore what lies beyond the physical realm. This book will help you do just that.
