My People as Your People provides an in-depth analysis of the
chronology, history, and archaeology associated with the reign of
Jehoshaphat of Judah. The synthesis of these various elements
illuminates a diverse geo-political picture of the southern Levant
in the mid-ninth century BCE. In recent years, archaeologists and
biblical scholars have dealt quite extensively with the tenth and
eighth centuries BCE due to both the controversial aspects of
recent interpretations associated with the so-called United Kingdom
and the established archaeological data relating to Judah's rise as
a significant polity in the eighth century BCE. On the other hand,
the ninth century BCE has received considerably less scholarly
treatment, despite the fact that many new archaeological strata
have been uncovered in recent years that have a direct bearing upon
this period. My People as Your People is an attempt to fill this
gap in our knowledge. In accomplishing this, it both provides a
nuanced understanding of Judah in the mid-ninth century BCE and
also demonstrates the significance of this period in the larger
setting of the history of the Divided Kingdom.
Provides an illuminating look at the diverse world of Black
religious life in North America, focusing particularly outside of
mainstream Christian churches From the Moorish Science Temple to
the Peace Mission Movement of Father Divine to the Commandment
Keepers sect of Black Judaism, myriad Black new religious movements
developed during the time of the Great Migration. Many of these
stood outside of Christianity, but some remained at least partially
within the Christian fold. The Black Coptic Church is one of these.
Black Coptics combined elements of Black Protestant and Black
Hebrew traditions with Ethiopianism as a way of constructing a
divine racial identity that embraced the idea of a royal Egyptian
heritage for its African American followers, a heroic identity that
was in stark contrast to the racial identity imposed on African
Americans by the white dominant culture. This embrace of a royal
Blackness—what McKinnis calls an act of “fugitive
spirituality”—illuminates how the Black Coptic tradition in
Chicago and beyond uniquely employs a religio-performative
imagination. McKinnis asks, ‘What does it mean to imagine
Blackness?’ Drawing on ten years of archival research and
interviews with current members of the church, The Black Coptic
Church offers a look at a group that insisted on its own
understanding of its divine Blackness. In the process, it provides
a more complex look at the diverse world of Black religious life in
North America, particularly within non-mainstream Christian
churches.

Theatre in Market Economies explores the complex relationship
between theatre and the market economy since the 1990s. Bringing
together research from the arts and social sciences, the book
proposes that theatre has increasingly taken up the mission of the
'mixed economy' by seeking to combine economic efficiency with
social security while promoting liberal democracy. McKinnie
situates this analysis within a wider context, in which the welfare
state's tools have been used to regulate, ever more closely, the
lives of citizens rather than the operations of markets. In the
process, the book invites us to think in new ways about
longstanding economic and political problems in and through the
theatre: the nature of industry, productivity, citizenship,
security and economic confidence. Theatre in Market Economies
depicts a theatre that is not only a familiar cultural institution
but is, in unexpected and often ambiguous ways, an exemplary
political-economic one as well.
