A classic of Brazilian literary criticism and historiography,
Brazil and the Dialectic of Colonization explores the unique
character of Brazil from its colonial beginnings to its emergence
as a modern nation. This translation presents the thought of
Alfredo Bosi, one of contemporary Brazil's leading intellectuals,
to an English-speaking audience. Portugal extracted wealth from its
Brazilian colony. Slaves--first indigenous peoples, later
Africans--mined its ore and cut its sugarcane. From the customs of
the colonists and the aspirations of the enslaved rose Brazil. Bosi
scrutinizes signal points in the creation of Brazilian culture--the
plays and poetry, the sermons of missionaries and Jesuit priests,
the Indian novels of Jose de Alencar and the Voices of Africa of
poet Castro Alves. His portrait of the country's response to the
pressures of colonial conformity offers a groundbreaking appraisal
of Brazilian culture as it emerged from the tensions between
imposed colonial control and the African and Amerindian
cults--including the Catholic-influenced ones--that resisted it.

grass prairie that runs the middle of the United States from Texas
to Canada.
This is an evocative drama of American idealism and the tragic
fallout from the euphoria of the 1960s. Five lost souls are
gathered in a bar, Valentine's Day, 1974: Wanda, a
secretary-turned-schoolteacher, keeping John Kennedy's memory alive
despite the inevitable slurs; Sparger, an actor grown bitter and
cynical as New York's vital underground theatre movement becomes a
commercial wasteland; Rona, a political activist who sees the
movement collapsing from self-indulgence and apathy; Mark, a Vie
Transatlantic Studies: Latin America, Iberia, and Africa emerges
from, and performs, an ongoing debate concerning the role of
transatlantic approaches in the fields of Iberian, Latin American,
African, and Luso-Brazilian studies. The innovative research and
discussions contained in this volume's 35 essays by leading
scholars in the field reframe the intertwined cultural histories of
the diverse transnational spaces encompassed by the former Spanish
and Portuguese empires. An emerging field, Transatlantic Studies
seeks to provoke a discussion and a reconfiguration of the
traditional academic notions of area studies, while critically
engaging the concepts of national cultures and postcolonial
relations among Spain, Portugal and their former colonies.
Crucially, Transatlantic Studies transgresses national boundaries
without dehistoricizing or decontextualizing the texts it seeks to
incorporate within this new framework.
Somewhere in my quest to be "The Man," I lost the way to become a
man. When God challenged me to examine self, I discovered I didn't
know me. With every effort exhausted by human error, it was being
still to know God was God that carried me to the place where I
first became lost. It was after WOMAN had been created, when MAN
first felt complete. There will come a time with every man when he
desires completion. In the moment men adhere to guidance by the
almighty, is the moment he shows you who you are. Once a man admits
he is not a man, then he will fine his ability to become one.

Many people believe that discipleship is important, but they need
help. In fact, the vast majority of Christians report that they
have never been personally discipled by a more mature follower of
Jesus. Is it any wonder that they have a difficult time knowing how
to disciple others? If making disciples of Jesus is the greatest
cause on earth, how should we equip people to do it? This handbook
is a practical guide for how to embrace the discipleship lifestyle
- being a disciple of Jesus and how to make other disciples of
Jesus. With contributions from pastors and teachers like Francis
Chan, Jeff Vanderstelt, Bill Hull, Jim Putman, KP Yohannan, and
Robert Coleman, the authors present seven elements that are
necessary for disciple making to occur: Jesus-the original disciple
maker and centerpiece of discipleship. Holy Spirit-fuels the
disciple-making process. Intentionality-making disciples utilizing
a strategy and a roadmap. Relationships-creating a loving, genuine
connection with others who trust and follow Jesus. Bible-using the
Word of God as the manual for making disciples. Journey-forging a
traceable growth story from a new birth to spiritual parenthood.
Multiply-reproducing the discipleship process so that the disciple
becomes a disciple maker. Whether you are a parent who wants to
disciple your children, a small group leader who wants to disciple
those in your group, or a church leader who wants to disciple
future leaders, the seven key elements in this handbook form a
framework for understanding discipleship that can be applied in
countless situations. In addition, there are questions provided in
each section to help you think through how to apply the material to
your disciple making efforts.
"Iberianism" refers to a minority intellectual current which
emerged in Spain and Portugal during the mid-nineteenth century and
developed in step with the Iberian Peninsula's successive crises.
Iberianism sought to upend the peninsula's political and
intellectual status quo by advocating closer ties between the two
peninsular kingdoms, and more equitable relations between the
Spanish state's constituent regions, including Castile, Catalonia,
Basque Country, and Galicia. Robert Patrick Newcomb's Iberianism
and Crisis examines how prominent peninsular essay writers and
public intellectuals, active around the turn of the twentieth
century, looked to Iberianism to address a succession of political,
economic, and social crises that shook the Spanish and Portuguese
states to their foundations. Bringing into dialogue prominent
fin-de-siecle peninsular literary intellectuals, including Joan
Maragall, Oliveira Martins, Emilia Pardo Bazan, Antero de Quental,
and Miguel de Unamuno, Newcomb engages in a comparative analysis of
textual sources across national and regional borders, languages,
and literary canons.
