Taking It to the Streets: Public Theologies of Activism and Resistance is an edited volume that explores the critical intersection of public theology, political theology, and communal practices of activism and political resistance. This volume functions as a sister/companion to the text Religion and Science as Political Theology: Navigating Post-Truth and Alternative Facts and focuses on public, civic, performative action as a response to experiences of injustice and diminishments of humanity. There are periods in a nation's civil history when the tides of social unrest rise into waves upon waves of public activism and resistance of the dominant uses of power. In American history, activism and public action including and extending beyond the Women's Suffrage, the Million Man March, protests against the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights Movement, Boston Tea Party, Black Lives Matter, the Stonewall Rebellion are hallmarks of transitional or liminal moments in our development as a society. Critical periods marked by increases in public activism and political resistance are opportunities for a society to once again decide who we will be as a people. Will we move towards a more perfect union in which all persons gain freedom in fulfilling their potential or will we choose the perceived safety of the status quo and established norms of power? Whose voices will be heard? Whose will be silenced through intimidation or harm? Ultimately, these are theological questions. Like other forms of non-textual research subjects (movement, dance, performance art), public activism requires a set of research lenses that are often neglected in theological and religious studies. Attention to bodies, as a category, performance, or epistemological vehicle, is sorely lacking so it is no wonder that attention to the mass of moving bodies in activism is largely absent. Activism and public political resistance are a hallmark of our current social webbing and deserve scholarly attention.

As defined by the editors of this book, 'non-market entrepreneurship' consists of all forms of entrepreneurship not being undertaken solely for purposes of profit maximization or commercialization, and encompasses entrepreneurial activities such as social enterprise and entrepreneurship, public sector entrepreneurship, policy entrepreneurship, non-profit entrepreneurship, and philanthropic enterprise, among many others. The eminent cast of contributors gives coherence to the academic and public discussions on the topic, builds a theoretical edifice within the field of entrepreneurship and helps to establish and delineate the contours of the research on non-market entrepreneurship. The authors stake a meaningful claim in this burgeoning field, examining entrepreneurial activities in public affairs, the social sector, and the society and economy. Forms of non-market entrepreneurship are used with increasing frequency in the popular press, journal articles, and academic and practitioner conferences, but they are used inconsistently across different sectors, academic disciplines, and forums. By providing space for an interdisciplinary mix of top entrepreneurship scholars from across the world, this volume provides cohesion to these discussions and helps advance research in the field. Scholars and students in a variety of fields interested in the growing phenomenon of entrepreneurship will find this volume invaluable in the effort to define the field, consider theoretical perspectives and structure empirical research. Practitioners will also find much of value in this remarkable resource.

September 1817. Lakshmi, bride of the maharaja of Satara and her escort are attacked by the dreaded Pindaris. Captain Robert Mc Kenzie of the Poona subsidiary force come upon the action and observes Lakshmi, lance in hand, fighting to defend her caravan. He offers his cavalry to replace the marathas cavalry lost in the attack. He finds himself entranced by Lakshmi's spirit. Can love for a heroic queen inspire him to an equal heroism? About them swirl the conflicting currents of clashing empires while they act out their poignant love story.

The stories in this collection ask all sorts of questions. Some of them also give answers. They're not always comforting, and not necessarily the answers readers might have been expecting. Roger's stories cover a wide range of material, including and transcending the entire spectrum of fantastic literature.

A tale of love and lust, courage and cunning, Dewdrop on the Lotus tells the dramatic story of Padmavati Chauhan, a Rajput woman whose extraordinary beauty, courage, and intelligence, whose skills in the arts of women and warriors won from her fellow Rajputs the title Padmini ('lotus woman'). Early in 1303, Ala'ud-Din Khilji, Sultan of Delhi, marched his armies south from Delhi and laid siege to her home, Chittorgarh, the storied fortress-capital of Mewar. Hearing of her beauty, the sultan wanted to make her his own, but no one told him of her courage or intelligence-and she already had a husband, Ratan Singh Guhilot, the Rawal of Mewar. The "now" of the story spans twenty-two days from August 3 to August 25, 1303. Her trial begins when by trickery Ala'ud-Din captures her husband and demands, as part of the ransom, that she surrender herself to him. During this "now," the story weaves back and forth from present to past to explore those aspects of her beliefs, traditions, character, and experiences that shape her response, a response that has enshrined her forever in the legends of India.

What if dreams are not what you think they are? Is our future already behind us? Are fairground attractions exactly what they claim to be? Should we listen to fortune-tellers? Could it be that the end of time is merely... the end of time? The stories in this collection ask all sorts of questions. Some of them also give answers. They're not always comforting, and not necessarily the answers you might have been expecting. Indeed, the unexpected is what you're likely to get. Frank Roger's stories cover a wide range of material, including and transcending the entire spectrum of fantastic literature. Some may detect an influence of Philip K. Dick's dark satires, of J. G. Ballard's poetic surrealism, perhaps even a dash of Jorge Luis Borges' intricate puzzles and labyrinths, lingering in readers' memories longer than anticipated. But in the end you will have to chart your own course through this maddening landscape constructed by a few scores of short stories. We hope you will make it safely to the exit. Wherever the exit happens to be. If there is one at all. -- Frank Roger was born in 1957 in Ghent, Belgium. His first story appeared in 1975. Since then he has written a few hundred stories which have appeared in more than 35 languages in all sorts of magazines, anthologies, and other venues. Apart from fiction, he also produces collages and graphic work in a surrealist and satirical tradition. They have appeared in various magazines and books. -- Ralph Midgley has studied Volapuk for forty years. He has translated many texts of all kinds. He is the Secretary of the Volapuk Movement, the Secretary of the Academy and editor of the montly magazine "Vog Volapuka."
