I Can See
I Can See, based on the Bible story of Jesus' healing of a man born blind, Tobias is brought to life. Born, blind, in Jerusalem during the time of strict Jewish laws, Roman occupation and the arrival of Jesus, Tobias' life becomes complicated. His cousin, David, was also born with a deformity, a clubfoot. Together they explored the world around them only to find that they were ostracized; they had to depend on each other. This was a time of great disruption, domination, and turbulence; which laws to follow and what to believe in. Neither Tobias nor David knew, the events that were occurring around them, would reach into their lives, change their beliefs and turn their worlds upside down. Their story describes their struggles to fit in a society that shunned them, the miracles that changed their lives and learning to believe in the unknown.

FraNCe: The French Heritage of North Carolina (In Living Color)
There is a subtle but significant French heritage in North Carolina. Towns such as Bath, Beaufort, New Bern, and La Grange are testimony to the settlements of French Huguenots in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The city of Fayetteville is named after the Marquis de Lafayette, a French ally during the American Revolution. The first European explorers to the North Carolina region were, in fact, French (1524). French Huguenots migrated to the state as early as 1690 and many North Carolinians have last names of French origin. North Carolina has many other place names and remnants of French presence since the early colonial period. This book traces the historical presence of the French in NC from the state's origins to the present and tells the story of a little-known part of the state's cultural heritage. (Color photos and images).
The French Heritage of North Carolina
There is a significant French heritage in North Carolina. The first European explorers to the North Carolina region were, in fact, French (1524). French Huguenots migrated to the state as early as 1690, and many North Carolinians have family names of French origin. Towns such as Bath, Beaufort, New Bern, and La Grange are a testimony to French settlers in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and the city of Fayetteville is named after the Marquis de Lafayette, a French ally during the American Revolution. Beyond names, North Carolina has many other remnants of the French presence. With materials gathered from archives, libraries, interviews, and photographs, this book traces the French heritage in North Carolina from its origins to the present, an important part of North Carolina's cultural history.

Contemporary Quebec
In the last seventy years, Quebec has changed from a society dominated by the social edicts of the Catholic Church and the economic interests of anglophone business leaders to a more secular culture that frequently elects separatist political parties and has developed the most comprehensive welfare state in North America. In Contemporary Quebec, leading scholars raise provocative questions about the ways in which Quebec has been transformed since the Second World War and offer competing interpretations of the reasons for the province's quiet and radical revolutions.

The Making of the Nations and Cultures of the New World
The Making of the Nations and Cultures of the New World explores the question of how a culture - a collective consciousness - is born. Gérard Bouchard compares the histories of New World collectivities, which were driven by a dream of freedom and sovereignty, and finds both major differences and striking commonalities in their formation and evolution. He also considers the myths and discursive strategies devised by elites in their efforts to unite and mobilize diversified populations.
