Civil Rights and Beyond
Civil Rights and Beyond examines the dynamic relationships between African American and Latino/a activists in the United States from the 1930s to the present day. Building on recent scholarship, this book pushes the timeframe for the study of interactions between blacks and a variety of Latino/a groups beyond the standard chronology of the civil rights era. As such, the book merges a host of community histories--each with their own distinct historical experiences and activisms--to explore group dynamics, differing strategies and activist moments, and the broader quests of these communities for rights and social justice. The collection is framed around the concept of "activism," which most fu...

Pennsylvania in Public Memory
What stories do we tell about America’s once-great industries at a time when they are fading from the landscape? Pennsylvania in Public Memory attempts to answer that question, exploring the emergence of a heritage culture of industry and its loss through the lens of its most representative industrial state. Based on news coverage, interviews, and more than two hundred heritage sites, this book traces the narrative themes that shape modern public memory of coal, steel, railroading, lumber, oil, and agriculture, and that collectively tell a story about national as well as local identity in a changing social and economic world.
God, How Much Longer?
Dear God, I cordially invite you to work on my timetable. In our own ways, even when we may not realize we’re doing it, we often approach God just in this way. After all, don’t we feel like we need something to happen NOW; we want what we want NOW; we need the answer NOW? (Are you seeing a theme emerging?) All too often, we want God to work on our timetable, even when we know he sees the big picture and we don’t have a clue. Here’s the truth: The Christian walk is about patience, perseverance, longsuffering, and delayed gratification—things the Bible calls virtues. Things we tend to call impossible! If you need answers NOW, start with this book. Robert Stofel will show you how to get beyond the pain and struggle of waiting to that perfect place of peace and trust in God’s timetable. Soon you’ll stop asking, “God, how much longer?” and you’ll be able to truly sit back and enjoy the ride! Readers’ Guide included for group study or personal reflection.
Making Marriage Work
By the end of World War I, the skyrocketing divorce rate in the United States had generated a deep-seated anxiety about marriage. This fear drove middle-class couples to seek advice, both professional and popular, in order to strengthen their relationships. In Making Marriage Work, historian Kristin Celello offers an insightful and wide-ranging account of marriage and divorce in America in the twentieth century, focusing on the development of the idea of marriage as "work." Throughout, Celello illuminates the interaction of marriage and divorce over the century and reveals how the idea that marriage requires work became part of Americans' collective consciousness.
Thinking on Purpose
Is there a secret that some people seem to know about and use in creating lives that are overflowing with success and abundance? The answer is absolutely yes. Over the years, its been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, and yet surprisingly, it remains a mystery to most to this very day. We are the consequences of our environment, and although we may not recognize the underlying forces influencing our lives each day, the fact is we are all playing a rolefor the most part unconsciouslyin creating the outcomes that make up our lives. Our thoughts create our feelings, our feelings create our actions, and our actions create our outcomes. Indirectly, yet surely, we alone are ultimately responsible...
