American Frankenstein is laced with reflective images and selective historical details. The book paints a clear picture of the causal factors resulting in today’s African American existence. It should educate the masses on the root causes for the African American condition and why African Americans represent either a vastly untapped pool of American human capital, or a huge catalyst in the nation’s downward social spiral. The book also has the potential to spark a new wave of dialog and debates about racial relations, history and diversity.
It is widely believed that the Emperor Constantine’s conversion to Christianity politicized religious allegiances, dividing the Christian Roman Empire from the Zoroastrian Sasanian Empire and leading to the persecution of Christians in Persia. This account, however, is based on Greek ecclesiastical histories and Syriac martyrdom narratives that date to centuries after the fact. In this groundbreaking study, Kyle Smith analyzes diverse Greek, Latin, and Syriac sources to show that there was not a single history of fourth-century Mesopotamia. By examining the conflicting hagiographical and historical evidence, Constantine and the Captive Christians of Persia presents an evocative and evolving portrait of the first Christian emperor, uncovering how Syriac Christians manipulated the image of their western Christian counterparts to fashion their own political and religious identities during this century of radical change.
