The black community in the Ann Arbor area includes Bethel African
Methodist Episcopal Church, Second Baptist Church, Brown Chapel,
the Ann Arbor Community Center, the old Jones School, and other
well-remembered places. The photographs representing this history
follow the progress of the African American community from 1857,
when the Rev. J. M. Gregory gathered together a small congregation
at 504 High Street, to 1996, when Dr. Homer Neal assumed leadership
of the University of Michigan as its interim president. This
integral but little-known part of Ann Arbor area history is
preserved in Another Ann Arbor.
A Quaker mystic and social activist, Rufus Jones won a Nobel Prize
as co-founder of the American Friends Service Committee. Widely
considered one of the most significant religious voices in America
at the time of his death in 1948, his writings impart an Emersonian
vision of the ever-present reality of God in our souls and in our
world. Indeed, his quintessentially American "affirmative
mysticism" infuses all contemporary spirituality and offers an
uplifting, positive, and powerful message today.
Investigating 20th century Chinese ideology through the two main
elements of passionate belief and cultivation of rage, this timely
book examines how Maoist thinking has influenced Western politics.
Tracing the origins of Maoist ideas in Western politics, David
Martin Jones and M.L.R. Smith expertly apply the principles of
strategic theory to provide an understanding of how Mao's ideas
made their way from China into Western societies where they exert a
profound and little understood impact on contemporary political
conduct. The book offers critical insights into key theoretical
discourses and their practical applications, including: Maoism,
Orientalism and post-colonial discourse theory, Maoism and the
mind, and Maoism and the politics of passion. Forward-thinking in
its approach, it addresses the important question of where Maoism
will end, analysing the trajectory that Maoism is likely to take
and what the cumulative impact of it upon Western societies may be.
This invigorating read will be a fascinating resource for scholars
of political theory and history wishing to gain an insight into the
impact of Maoist ideas in the West. It will also provide students
of international politics and international studies with a much
greater understanding of China's revolutionary thinking in world
politics. 'This insightful volume exposes the influence of Maoism
on left wing intellectuals in the West. Jones and Smith reveal how
not just Mao's thought but the anti-democratic and often inhumane
practices that came to be associated with China's Cultural
Revolution are today being rehabilitated in woke form. This superb
book is a must-read for anyone wanting to understand what lies
behind today's dominant political trends.' - Joanna Williams,
