DOWNLOAD EBOOKDoes ”black” as a social signifier, pregnant with history, really mean what it is thought to mean? Does white, as the symmetrical object of black, really refer to its current form? Or do these apperceptive objects, these epithets, draw energy from somewhere else, a past veiled by current discourse? When we reveal historical figures, in what is supposed to be an idiosyncratic context (in Europe for example), and refer to them simply as ”black” due to their hue, are we really putting words in their mouths, colonizing the past anachronistically, implanting memories? Did the whiteness and blackness of the past really transcend physical appearance? How did the original white and black actually look? Is the current culture of equity, for example actors portraying historical figures based on the premise that their physical appearance wasn’t present, really a revisionist act through replacement by representation - the replacement of the one representing themselves, by themselves, unknowingly? Is history simply being replaced by a new social interpretation, looking as it were? Lastly, is the emergence of afrocentric interpretation nothing more than the completion of a revisionist ritual, erasing changed white culture, inherently brown skinned to begin with? These are some of the questions this essay tries to answer, hermeneutically touching down in everything from metaphysics to sociology to religion; all the way from ancient Egypt (Kemet), to Israel, to medieval Europe and contemporary discourse.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Sande Society of the Mende people of Sierra Leone is a secret female regulatory society that both guards and transmits the ideals of feminine beauty so fundamental to the aesthetic criteria in Mende culture. In this eloquent and moving book, Sylvia Ardyn Boone describes the Society, its rituals and organization, and the mask worn by its members. Her book is an evocative account of Mende life and philosophy as well as a unique contribution to the study of African art, one based on African conceptions about the person and the human body. This is a beautiful and beautifully written book. ... Boone writes in ways that reveal her evident devotion to Mende culture.--John Picton, African Affairs A major contribution to our ethnographic understanding of Mende culture, and to understanding the way concepts of women's bodies encode cultural messages about gender relations.--E. Frances White, Women's Review of Books A respectful approach to [the mysteries of the Sande], by an art historian who has tiptoed where anthropologists feared to tread. Radiance from the Waters deserves to be read. ... It provides something more interesting than esoteric knowledge: an extended meditation on notions of beauty and decorum and the way in which these can be translated simultaneously into art and ... advancement for women.--John Ryle, London Review of Books The first text to illuminate the power of the feminine aesthetic in West African art.--Ms.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDuring the fight for Scotland’s independence, the mystical Order of the Knights Templar battles ancient evil and a treacherous king in this gripping alternate history. A powerful order of warrior monks forged in the fires of the Crusades during the twelfth century, the legendary Knights Templar did not vanish entirely following their failed campaigns in the Holy Land. Having attained great power and arcane skill, they withdrew from the public eye but remained hidden in the shadows, prepared to do battle against the enemies of Christianity and the adherents of the old malevolent gods. Now, these noble defenders of the faith recognize Scotland as the next battleground, foretold in dreams and visions, as legendary Scottish heroes William “Braveheart” Wallace and Robert the Bruce take up arms against the forces of the English King Edward I in the terrible Anglo-Scottish War. Charged with establishing their holy fellowship’s temple in the disputed land, loyal knights Arnault de Saint Clair, the French cleric, and Torquil Lennox of Scottish birth arrive in the midst of the bloody conflict to help prevent the conquest of Scotland and assure the ascension of its rightful liege. But the magical stone upon which every Scottish king must be crowned has been drained of its mystical power, and only an extreme sacrifice can revive the magic. A perilous endeavor must be undertaken to stem the supernatural evil that is growing amidst the chaos in the land as a powerful Pictish shaman attempts to raise the ancient pagan gods from the darkness to feed on blood and terror. Coauthors of the acclaimed Adept historical fantasy series, Katherine Kurtz and Deborah Turner Harris imagine an alternate history that will appeal to fans of the occult, Scottish history, and the fabled Knights Templar.
