Angel Patriots

Alexander T. Riley

Angel Patriots

When United Flight 93, the fourth plane hijacked in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, the gash it left in the ground became a national site of mourning. The flight’s 40 passengers became a media obsession, and countless books, movies, and articles told the tale of their heroic fight to band together and sacrifice their lives to stop Flight 93 from becoming a weapon of terror. In Angel Patriots, Alexander Riley argues that by...

Yet there is a longstanding tradition of progressive Catholic movements in the United States that have addressed a variety of issues from labor, war, immigration, and environmental protection, to human rights, women’s rights, exploitive development practices, and bellicose foreign policies. These Catholic social movements...

In recent years, it has been held up as a supposedly peaceful alternative to the spread of forms of Islam associated with violence, an embodiment of democratic ideals of tolerance and pluralism. Are Sufis in fact as otherworldy and apolitical as this stereotype suggests? Modern Sufis and the State brings together a range of scholars, including anthropologists, historians, and religious-studies specialists, to challenge common...

Kobiety w Europie Środkowo-Wschodniej w perspektywie interdyscyplinarnej

Historię regionu Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej, choć nie dla wszystkich jest to oczywiste, w znacznej mierze tworzyły mądre, zdolne i silne kobiety, zarówno anonimowe, jak i te, których nazwiska są dobrze znane szerokim kręgom. Biografie dziesiątek nieprzeciętnych kobiet – świętych i heretyczek, łamiących stereotypy i śmiało wykraczających poza ustanowione dla nich role społeczne, zainspirowały nas do podjęcia szerszej refleksji na temat ich roli w kulturze oraz życiu społeczno-politycznym...

Correspondences

Correspondences

We inhabit a world of more than humans. For life to flourish, we must listen to the calls this world makes on us, and respond with care, sensitivity and judgement. That is what it means to correspond, to join our lives with those of the beings, matters and elements with whom, and with which, we dwell upon the earth. In this book, anthropologist Tim Ingold corresponds with landscapes and forests, oceans and skies, monuments and artworks. To each he brings the same spontaneity of thought and...
