À la recherche de miracles: Pèlerines, religion vécue et la Roumanie postcommuniste (21e – Société, histoire et cultures)
by Monica Grigore-DovleteÀ la fin de l’année 1989, la Roumanie faisait son chemin vers la démocratie. Depuis, le pays connaît de nombreux changements, dont un renouveau religieux. Pourquoi la religion est-elle si présente en Roumanie postcommuniste ? Quels sont les impacts de cette présence accrue de la religion dans la société? C’est sur le terrain, dans des pèlerinages réalisés dans des monastères réputés pour leurs miracles, leurs confesseurs charismatiques et leurs reliques que l’auteure cherche des réponses à ces questions. En observant les croyances et les pratiques des pèlerines et des femmes au quotidien – et sans omettre la conduite des « porteurs de la religion officielle » –, le livre explore quatre thèmes qui constituent autant de facettes de la religion vécue : le sort, le charisme, la matérialité et les reliques. À travers ces thèmes, le livre brosse le tableau d’une religion quotidienne dans un contexte orthodoxe et propose une piste explicative sur le renouveau religieux en Roumanie après 1989, ainsi que des transformations sociales propres à la période postcommuniste. Publié en Français.

¡A mis hijos los educo yo! / "I Teach my Children": Sobre sexo sin mentiras.
by Laura Pérez Porras¿Cómo debo hablarles de sexualidad a mis hijos? ¿A qué edad debo comenzar a enseñarles? ¿Cuándo es el momento apropiado? El propósito principal de este libro ¡A mis hijos los educo yo! es presentarle a los padres una herramienta fiable y responsable que los ayude en la educación sexual a sus hijos. La sexualidad es un tema cotidiano que va más allá de las relaciones sexuales y las religiones, por tanto, es imprescindible velar que nuestros hijos sean educados con valores conforme a nuestras creencias cristianas. La sociedad tratará de imponer sus ideas, por lo que es responsabilidad de los padres prepararse y tomar las riendas de esta enseñanza tan vital para la vida. ¿Cuál es el objetivo de la educación sexual en los niños? Generar una sexualidad saludable desde que son pequeñosAyudarlos a prevenir conflictos "Los padres no hablan de sexualidad con los hijos porque sienten verguenza, no saben qué decir, asumen que el centro educatvo lo hará por ellos o creen que aprenderán solos. El problema es que, si usted como padre no lo hace, otros lo harán y probablemente no de la mejor manera". - Sixto Porras. tomado del prólogo The author empowers parents by giving them the tools for an appropriate children sex education from a Christian perspective. It breaks taboos and expands trust in the family. It is not surprising children are having more startling questions about sex at this time in age than any other. The overwhelming vast social media outlets are bombarding children with the wrong concept of sex and intimacy. The main purpose of this book is to equipped parents with the necessary tools to deal with sex and the main themes of faith with a close and proper language approach for the children. Only by removing the taboos and allowing us to establish a healthy communication in the home, we can empower our children, without exposing them to prejudices and complexes. Sexuality is a day-to-day issue, it is beyond religions and beyond sexual relationships.

A. Philip Randolph: The Religious Journey of an African American Labor Leader
by Cynthia TaylorImportant insights into the life and mind of one of the most significant civil rights leaders of the twentieth centuryA. Philip Randolph, founder of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, was one of the most effective black trade unionists in America. Once known as "the most dangerous black man in America," he was a radical journalist, a labor leader, and a pioneer of civil rights strategies. His protegé Bayard Rustin noted that, "With the exception of W.E.B. Du Bois, he was probably the greatest civil rights leader of the twentieth century until Martin Luther King."Scholarship has traditionally portrayed Randolph as an atheist and anti-religious, his connections to African American religion either ignored or misrepresented. Taylor places Randolph within the context of American religious history and uncovers his complex relationship to African American religion. She demonstrates that Randolph’s religiosity covered a wide spectrum of liberal Protestant beliefs, from a religious humanism on the left, to orthodox theological positions on the right, never straying far from his African Methodist roots.

A'aisa's Gifts: A Study of Magic and the Self (Studies in Melanesian Anthropology #13)
by Michele StephenFilled with insight, provocative in its conclusions, A'aisa's Gifts is a groundbreaking ethnography of the Mekeo of Papua New Guinea and a valuable contribution to anthropological theory. Based on twenty years' fieldwork, this richly detailed study of Mekeo esoteric knowledge, cosmology, and self-conceptualizations recasts accepted notions about magic and selfhood. Drawing on accounts by Mekeo ritual experts and laypersons, this is the first book to demonstrate magic's profound role in creating the self. It also argues convincingly that dream reporting provides a natural context for self-reflection. In presenting its data, the book develops the concept of "autonomous imagination" into a new theoretical framework for exploring subjective imagery processes across cultures.
Aaliyah: Aaliyah (The Divas)
by Victoria Christopher MurrayFrom the bestselling author of The Personal Librarian comes the fourth book in the The Divas series.Diamond, India, Veronique, and Aaliyah are fifteen-year-old high school sophomores on their way to becoming the hottest new group to hit gospel music—The Divas. That is, if they win the team talent competition. Now, the fourth book in the series follows Aaliyah, as she comes face to face with a secret from her past.. Straight-A student and &“brainiac&” of the group, Aaliyah is an only child living with her father, the deputy Chief of Police in Los Angeles. Even though Aaliyah isn&’t interested in singing, she&’s shown a remarkable, natural talent since childhood. It takes a bit of persuading to get Aaliyah to be a part of the Divas, but she gives in, and joins the group to be close to her friends. During one of their rehearsals, the girls hear a song by Zena, a successful African American singer. All the other girls are inspired and imagine themselves being as successful one day—except for Aaliyah, who turns off the CD and grumbles that they can find a better role model. Then, when Aaliyah learns that Zena will be attending their performance—accompanied by her father—her whole world comes crashing down. And all of her friends, who&’d been told that Aaliyah&’s mother died when she was a baby, suddenly realize where her natural singing ability came from…
Aama in America: A Pilgrimage of the Heart
by Broughton CoburnVishnu Maya, called Aama (Mother) by everyone in her tiny Nepalese village, was living high in the Himalayas when she befriended American Peace Corps worker Broughton Coburn in 1974. In 1988, Aama came to visit him--on a trip prescribed by village priests as a way for the eighty-four-year-old, four-foot-eight woman to earn merit by making a difficult journey late in life. Aama in America is a vivid chronicle of what became a twenty-five-state, coast-to-coast adventure. Guided by the perpetual curiosity and deeply spiritual orientation of their ingenious, unpredictable travel companion, Coburn and his fiancée gradually began to view their country from an entirely new perspective. "Beneath the uniform, commercial, man-made epidermis of our country," Coburn writes, "Aama found a culture and landscape that was alive and sacred, and she steered us toward it."Aama in America is on one level an offbeat American travelogue. But on another it is a profound exploration of beliefs, values, and lost spirituality, a rediscovery of the spiritual that lies beneath the surface of America, and a singular account of the meeting of two widely divergent cultures.

Aaron's Leap
by Craig Cravens Magdaléna Platzová"Told in clear and beautiful prose, Aaron's Leap is a deeply moving portrait of love, sacrifice, and the transformative power of art in a time of brutal uncertainty." -SIMON VAN BOOY, author of The Illusion of SeparatenessBased on the real-life story of Bauhaus artist Friedl Dicker-Brandeis, Aaron's Leap is framed by the lens of a twenty first-century Israeli film crew delving into the extraordinary life of a woman who taught art to children in the Nazi transport camp of Terezín and died in Auschwitz. Aided by the granddaughter of one of the artist's pupils, the filmmakers begin to uncover buried secrets from a time when personal and artistic decisions became matters of life-and-death. Spanning a century of Central European history, the novel evokes the founding impulses, theories, and personalities of the European Modernist movement (with characters modeled after Oskar Kokoschka, Alma Mahler and Franz Werfel) and shows what it takes to grapple with a troubled history, "leap" into the unknown, and dare to be oneself.Magdaléna Platzová was raised in Prague and has lived in Washington, DC and New York City, where she taught literature at NYU, and now lives in Lyon, France. She is the author of a children's book, two collections of short stories, and three novels, including Aaron's Leap, a Lidové Noviny Book of the Year Award finalist, hailed by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung as a novel that "must be counted among the best written by contemporary Czech writers." It is her first book to be published in English.
