How this understanding expresses itself in everyday practices of faith is the subject of Between Sundays, an innovative work that takes readers beyond common misconceptions and narrow assumptions about black religion and into the actual complexities of African American women's spiritual lives. Gracefully combining narrative, interviews, and analysis, this book explores the personal, political, and spiritual commitments of a group of Baptist women whose experiences have been informed by the realities of life in a rural, southern community. In these lives, "spirituality" emerges as a space for creative agency, of vital importance to the ways in which these women interpret, inform, and reshape their social conditions--conditions often characterized by limited access to job opportunities, health care, and equitable schooling. In the words of these women, and in Marla F. Frederick's deft analysis, we see how spirituality-expressed as gratitude, empathy, or righteous discontent-operates as a transformative power in women's interactions with others, and in their own more intimate renegotiations of self.George Gund Foundation Book in African American StudiesAfrican American womenReligious lifeAfrican American womenSpiritual lifeElectronic books.African American womenReligious life.African American womenSpiritual life.277.5/6/083/082Frederick Marla Faye1972-1036173MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450051503321Between Sundays2478422UNINA03395oam 22006254a 450 991027235130332120240201172557.09781787352452178735245510.14324/111.9781787352452(CKB)4100000004240073(OAPEN)651056(OCoLC)1156894743(MdBmJHUP)muse96161(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/89226(ScCtBLL)1a49ee35-9e9b-454c-9302-31c97e342464(OCoLC)1052106329(oapen)doab89226(oapen)89226(EXLCZ)99410000000424007320180521d2018 uy 0enguuuuu---auuuutxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierSpectral ArcticA History of Dreams and Ghosts in Polar Exploration /Shane McCorristineUniversity College London2018London :UCL Press,2018.©2018.1 online resource (326)9781787352469 1787352463 The Arctic was long imagined as an otherworldly place, thousands of miles from the warmth and familiarity of home, and nineteenth-century Britons were fascinated by the notion of the heroic explorer voyaging through harsh terrain in pursuit of the Northwest Passage. But the mapping of this vast uncharted territory was only part of the fascination with the Arctic; Explorers and those who eagerly followed their perilous progress were also fascinated by the unknown, by the dreams and ghosts that might materialize there. The narratives of Arctic exploration that we are all familiar with today are just the tip of the iceberg, argues Shane McCorristine, and there are a great many more mysterious stories beneath the surface. In contrast to oft-told tales of heroism and disaster, The Spectral Arctic reveals the hidden stories of dreaming and haunted explorers, of frozen mummies, of rescue balloons, visits to Inuit shamans, and of the entranced female clairvoyants who traveled to the Arctic in search of John Franklin's lost expedition. Through new readings of archival documents, exploration narratives, and fictional texts, these stories reflect the complex ways that men and women actually thought about the Arctic in the past. This revisionist historical account also allows us to make sense of current cultural and political concerns in the Canadian Arctic about the long-lost Franklin Expedition and the recent rediscovery of the two ships.Shamanismfast(OCoLC)fst01115159Discoveries in geographyfast(OCoLC)fst00894950Apparitionsfast(OCoLC)fst00811524ShamanismArctic regionsApparitionsArctic regionsArctic regionsfastArctic OceanNorthwest PassagefastNorthwest PassageArctic regionsDiscovery and explorationShamanism.Discoveries in geography.Apparitions.ShamanismApparitionsMcCorristine Shane1983-983877MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910272351303321Spectral Arctic2246287UNINA
