Описание: James Vincent Conran (1899-1970) was the most significant political organizer in the history of rural America. Serving as a rural Missouri prosecutor for 32 years, Conran was the much sought political friend of statewide and national candidates, such as President Harry S. Truman, U.S. Senator Thomas F. Eagleton, and Governor Warren Hearnes. His singular political influence was inextricably linked to the unique demographics of his home region, the Missouri "Bootheel," which was a part southern, part mid-western, and part frontier community where African Americans enjoyed unusual political power. Though contemporary media depictions portrayed Conran as a traditional, corrupt political boss-like his notorious contemporaries, Tom Pendergast of Kansas City or Ed Crump of Memphis-this view is flawed. In J.V. Conran and Rural Political Power, Will Sarvis aims to paint a more accurate picture of Conran by revealing the true extent and limitations of his power and influence.

Bestselling author and social critic Demico Boothe shares his personal story of being wrongfully convicted of a crime, being sent to federal prison, and coming out of prison only to have to immediately deal with a hostile child support system that seemed intent on sending him back to prison over money he didn't have. Boothe shares how the current child support system poorly served him and his family and identifies and analyzes many areas within the system that need fixing. Boothe identifies racism, emotionalism, anti-male feminism, and profit motive as the main driving forces of the U.S. child support system, not the bettering of the welfare of children. Upon finding that unemployed and underemployed black fathers are disproportionately the recipients of the worst punitive actions that the system has to offer due to economic and racial reasons, Boothe decided to pen a book about it, hoping to shed some much-needed light on this issue.
IMPORTANT FACTS AND IN-BOOK POINTS OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THE U.S. CHILD SUPPORT SYSTEM AND THE BLACK FAMILY:
Over 115 billion dollars is currently owed to the government in back child support and associated fees, mostly by poor black fathers
The U.S. Child Support System began formation in the early 1800's and was originally designated for white women only, and has since only been updated to incorporate more punitive enforcement actions that are now levied disproportionately against poor black fathers
The Child Support System has been instrumental in the much-talked-about breakdown and dwindling of the two-parent black family household since the late 1970's
The Child Support System prioritizes payments over parentage when it comes to fathers, while nearly 70% of all black children in the U.S. are raised in households headed by single women
The U.S. Child Support System actively serves as a form of probationary surveillance on poor fathers
The U.S. Child Support System is openly anti-family and anti-male
The American Feminist Movement - which started in the early 1800's as a white-women-only movement that sought to create more economic parity and equity between white men and women - is largely responsible for the anti-male slant within the U.S. Child Support System.
The U.S. Child Support System helped create the false "Deadbeat Dad" stereotype that the mainstream media often only relegates to black men
The U.S. Child Support System helped create the "Bitter Baby Mama" syndrome in the black community
Federal and state governments reap multilevel economic profits via the U.S. Child Support System
The United States of America has more people behind bars than any other country in the world and every year nearly 700,000 prisoners get released back into society, the largest percentage of them being black males. "Getting Out & Staying Out" is a short, easy to read set of guidelines intended to help incarcerated and newly freed African-American men (a) learn how to most productively do their time while in prison (b) know what to expect once they are released (c) understand that entrepreneurship and self-employment is what their long-term focus should be on instead of a job, and (d) understand the importance of stable relationships and how they aid in successful re-entry. If followed, the advice and suggestions given in this very simple guide should prove very helpful for black men who are serious about getting out of prison and not ever going back.

2020 Facsimile of the 1890 First Edition. "Charles Octavius Boothe was born a slave in Alabama in 1845. He learned the alphabet as a preschooler from letters stamped on a tin plate. Working as a clerk in a lawyer's office while still in his teens, he read widely and deeply. He went on to become pastor of First Colored Baptist Church in Meridian, Miss., and founding pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Ala. Many of his church members were sharecroppers or common laborers with little formal education. Boothe believed all Christians needed a solid theological foundation on which to build their understanding of God and his plan for their lives. 'The doctrines of our holy religion need to be studied in order, according to some definite system; but simplicity should prevail--simplicity of arrangement and simplicity of language, ' he said. So, he wrote a theological handbook for common Christians, Plain Theology for Plain People, first published in 1890....Boothe follows the admonition of one hymn writer who urged, 'Make the message clear and plain.' The author's theological overview is straightforward but not simplistic, concise but not condescending. He cites Scripture to support every assertion he makes. Sad to say, the "plain" language of the late 19th century may seem lofty and elevated to 21st century readers accustomed to tweets and sound bites. Even so, whether readers want to gain a perspective on theology as seen from the viewpoint of disadvantaged and marginalized people, or whether they simply seek a solidly biblical and Christ-centered introduction to systematic theology, Plain Theology for Plain People is a treasure." Baptist Standard, March 9th, 2018. Eventually retiring from his work in the 1900s, Boothe died in 1924 in Detroit, Michigan.

Описание:
Everyday Christians need practical and accessible theology.
In this handbook first published in 1890, Charles Octavius Boothe simply and beautifully lays out the basics of theology for common people. "Before the charge 'know thyself, '" Boothe wrote, "ought to come the far greater charge, 'know thy God.'" He brought the heights of academic theology down to everyday language, and he helps us do the same today.
Plain Theology for Plain People shows that evangelicalism needs the wisdom and experience of African American Christians.
Walter R. Strickland II reintroduces this forgotten masterpiece for today.

Australian Biographical Monographs, No. 8
This is a lively new account of John Grey Gorton and his legacy. Within the constraints of a short biography, Paul Williams has effectively challenged some of the most common previous assessments of Gorton's political ideas and achievements.
-- Professor Rodney Smith, Department of Government and International Relations, University of Sydney
This new monograph on Australian Prime Minister Sir John Gorton (1968-71) by Dr Paul Williams, Senior Lecturer in politics, journalism and public relations at Griffith University's School of Humanities, Languages and Social Sciences, is more than just a snapshot of one of Australia's more interesting, and at times, most difficult to understand prime ministers. Rather, Dr Williams's considerable additional research provides a better understanding of the political context of Gorton's times. We come to appreciate the changing nature of Australian politics and society, including Labor's resurgence and the fracturing of the Liberal Party's dominance, and how each of these affected Gorton's prime ministership and assessments of his performance. Dr Williams has published widely on voter behaviour and political leadership in Australian scholarly journals, and he is a frequent commentator on Australian federal and Queensland state politics in the news media.
