Crimes of Humanity is a historical account of the traditions of
astrotheology, not only in epochs past, but in the modern and
post-modern age as well. Ikal digs deep into the archives of
history to define what the astrology cults were to the societies
they served, from their many functions, their expressed virtues, as
well as their folly. It is fully comprehensive, suggestively
critical and wholesomely educational.
Early in the twentieth century, for-profit companies such as Duke
Power and South Carolina Electric and Gas brought electricity to
populous cities and towns across South Carolina, while rural areas
remained in the dark. It was not until the advent of publicly owned
electric cooperatives in the 1930s that the South Carolina
countryside was gradually introduced to the conveniences of life
with electricity. Today, electric cooperatives serve more than a
quarter of South Carolina's citizens and more than seventy percent
of the state's land area, bringing not only power but also
high-speed broadband to rural communities.The rise of "public"
power-electricity serviced by member-owned cooperatives and
sanctioned by federal and state legislation-is a complicated saga
encompassing politics, law, finance, and rural economic
development. Empowering Communities examines how the cooperatives
helped bring fundamental and transformational change to the lives
of rural people in South Carolina, from light to broadband. James
E. Clyburn, the majority whip of the U.S. House of Representatives
from South Carolina, provides a foreword.
