My Aumakua
Everyone will lose a loved one in their lifetime and most will find any way they can to cope with that loss. On a typically beautiful Hawaiian day, two unlikely best friends, Kalani and Billy, decided to sail to Kauai for a wild and adventure filled weekend with their girlfriends. The trip began smooth enough and the weekend was the most memorable adventure any of them had at this point in their lives. On the return trip however disaster struck in the form of a concentrated sea storm which sunk the boat leaving but one survivor. Alone, but not, in the Pacific Ocean, visitors appeared in the form of a beautiful Green Sea Turtle, a Red Footed Boobie bird and lastly by an Oceanic White Tip shark. "My Aumakua" is a wonderful adventure through life, love, friendship, loss and the beauty of the Hawaiian culture and spirit. JDO

America's Road to Jerusalem
This study examines the role of the Six-Day War in American Protestant politics and culture. The author argues that American foreign policy towards the Arab-Israeli conflict, culminating in the Trump Administration’s 2017 recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, and the domestic Evangelical communities who supported it, has a direct correlation with the long-term consequences of the 1967 Six-Day War. For most of America’s history, biblical literalists, or Evangelicals, dominated the religious culture of the country. But, in 1925, the Scopes trial on science, evolution, and religion embarrassed Evangelicals and caused them to retreat from American culture and politics. Modern and l...

What is all this talk about the return of the Hidden Imam, Shi'ite Islam's Messiah? Why is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad offering prayers to this figure?

Mormons in Jerusalem
This publication is the first of its kind. It tells the story of the Brigham Young University Jerusalem Center and the challenges that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints overcame to establish one of its most magnificent structures worldwide. It tells the story of the Church's relations with Zionism and the State of Israel, going back to the Prophet Joseph Smith. The book then details the debates the Church had with the Israeli government and the Israeli public over this Temple-like structure in the heart of Jerusalem. Pressure from the U.S. Government, including Mormon Senators and Congressmen, ultimately enabled the construction of this historic educational campus. This piece will enable you to understand the history of Mormon involvement in the Land of Israel, better enabling you to understand its future.Jason Olson is a PhD student at Brandeis University.
The Threshold of Dissent
Explores the long history of anti-Zionist and non-Zionist American Jews Throughout the twentieth century, American Jewish communal leaders projected a unified position of unconditional support for Israel, cementing it as a cornerstone of American Jewish identity. This unwavering position served to marginalize and label dissenters as antisemitic, systematically limiting the threshold of acceptable criticism. In pursuit of this forced consensus, these leaders entered Cold War alliances, distanced themselves from progressive civil rights and anti-colonial movements, and turned a blind eye to human rights abuses in Israel. In The Threshold of Dissent, Marjorie N. Feld instead shows that today’...

Beyond Article 19
Beyond Article 19: Libraries and Social and Cultural Rights addresses the subject of libraries and cultural rights, a topic that has received relatively little attention in the past, but which librarians and others concerned with human rights are beginning to recognize and talk about. Librarians have long been concerned with individual rights and have worked tirelessly - indeed making it a basic tenet of the profession - to protect and preserve those rights. Little has been written about the role that libraries can play in protecting and promoting group rights, specifically cultural rights. This book examines this shortfall by exploring the relationship between libraries, cultural rights, and community life and identity.
