Touched with Fire
Morris B. Abram (1918–2000) emerged from humble origins in a rural South Georgia town to become one of the leading civil rights lawyers in the United States during the 1950s. While unmasking the Ku Klux Klan and serving as a key intermediary for the release of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. from prison on the eve of the 1960 presidential election, Abram carried out a successful fourteen-year battle to end the discriminatory voting system in his home state, which had entrenched racial segregation. The result was the historic “one man, one vote” ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court in 1963. At the time of his selection—the youngest person ever chosen to head the American Jewish Committee...

Radical Roots
While all history has the potential to be political, public history is uniquely so: public historians engage in historical inquiry outside the bubble of scholarly discourse, relying on social networks, political goals, practices, and habits of mind that differ from traditional historians. Radical Roots: Public History and a Tradition of Social Justice Activism theorizes and defines public history as future-focused, committed to the advancement of social justice, and engaged in creating a more inclusive public record. Edited by Denise D. Meringolo and with contributions from the field’s leading figures, this groundbreaking collection addresses major topics such as museum practices, oral his...
Send Us a Lady Physician
By the end of the 19th century, women were sought after as physicians, as gentle, natural healers, and were felt to give the medical profession a dignity and humanity beyond what men could provide. By 1920, the number of women doctors had plummeted, and new barriers created obstacles in the careers of established ones. Focusing on the Class of 1879, Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania, this book explores the trials, frustrations and victories of the period.
Religion, Citizenship and Democracy
This innovative volume is focused on the impact of religion on the realization of democratic citizenship. The researchers contributing provide empirical evidence on how religion influences attitudes towards citizenship and democracy in different countries. The book also tackles the challenges and opportunities for citizenship education. Experts contributing from sociology, political science, theology, and educational science look at the impact of religious beliefs and practices on democratic attitudes and behavior. Chapters also concern how religion influences the recognition of others as citizens. The text appeals to graduates and researchers in these fields with a secondary market for the general interest reader.
The Book of Ruth
The decision to take on this study of Ruth bat Avraham (daughter of Abraham) came about subsequent to a celebration of the feast of Shavuot several years ago in the home of a member of a Hebrew messianic congregation. In keeping with tradition, the book of Ruth was read with simultaneous discussion on the work and was followed by additional discussion. Listening to the comments from the attendees: their assertions, points and other input, I decided to conduct a deeper study of the work. And, after months of reading/re-reading Ruth, prayer, researching, more prayer and listening, I determined to write this study. It is also written with the hope and intent of causing the reader to ponder or reflect on their relationship and their walk with El Elyon (The Lord Most High) and Yahusha HaMashiach. Concomitantly, it is written to give the reader an opportunity to muse on who those people in this book and in the age and time of Ruth, Naomi, Orpah, Boaz, actually were: ethnically, racially.
