Free Download Mary Astell and John Norris: Letters Concerning the Love of God By Melvyn New, E. Derek Taylor (eds.)
2005 | 272 Pages | ISBN: 0754605868 | PDF | 58 MB
Given the progress made in recent years in recovering the writings of early modern women, one might expect that a complete set of the important works of Mary Astell (1666-1731) would have been reissued long before now. Instead, only portions of the thought of the ‘First English Feminist’ have reached a wide academic audience. This volume presents a critical and annotated edition of the correspondence between Astell and John Norris of Bemerton (1657-1711), Letters Concerning the Love of God, which was published in three separate editions during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries (1695, 1705, 1730). This work had profound significance in eighteenth-century intellectual and religious circles, and represents a crucial step in the development of Norris and Astell’s philosophical and theological opposition to that most prominent of Enlightenment figures, John Locke. Letters Concerning the Love of God includes, as contextual material, Norris’s Cursory Reflections upon a Book Call’d, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1690), the first published philosophical response to (as Bishop Stillingfleet would later put it) Locke’s ‘new way of ideas,’ and Astell’s biting and comprehensive attack on Locke in the ‘Appendix’ to the second edition of The Christian Religion, As Professed by a Daughter of the Church of England (1717). These texts serve to place both Letters and its authors in the contentious philosophical-theological climate to which they belonged, one wherein, most significantly, Locke’s present-day preeminence had yet to be realized. The editors’ extensive introduction and annotations to this volume not only provide background on the historical and biographical elements, but also elucidate philosophical and theological concepts that are perhaps unfamiliar to modern readers.

Free Download Letters to Palestine: Writers Respond to War and Occupation By Vijay Prashad
2015 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 1784780677 | EPUB | 1 MB
Operation Protective Edge, Israel’s seven-week bombing campaign and ground invasion of Gaza in the summer of 2014, resulted in half a million displaced Gazans, tens of thousands of destroyed homes, and more than 2,000 deaths-and, yet, it was only the latest in a long series of assaults endured by Palestinians isolated in Gaza. But, following the conflict, polls revealed a startling fact: for the first time, a majority of Americans under thirty found Israel’s actions unjustified. Jon Stewart aired a blistering attack on Israeli violence, and a video of a UN spokesperson weeping as he was interviewed in Gaza went viral, appearing on Vanity Fair and Buzzfeed, among other sites. This book traces this swelling American recognition of Palestinian suffering, struggle, and hope, in writing that is personal, lyrical, anguished, and inspiring. Some of the leading writers of our time, such as Junot Díaz and Teju Cole, poets and essayists, novelists and scholars, Palestinian American activists like Huwaida Arraf, Noura Erakat, and Remi Kanazi, give voice to feelings of empathy and solidarity-as well as anger at US support for Israeli policy-in intimate letters, beautiful essays, and furious poems. This is a landmark work of controversial, committed literary writing.

Free Download Letters of the law : race and the fantasy of colorblindness in American law By Han, Sora Y.
2015 | 165 Pages | ISBN: 0804789118 | PDF | 2 MB
"How should we understand legal colorblindness today? In Letters of the Law, Sora Han argues that colorblindness is not simply a racial ideology of American jurisprudence–it is also a fantasy structuring of legal interpretation itself. Letters of the Law traces the fantasy of colorblindness across iconic Supreme Court cases on citizenship, segregation, criminal procedure, internment, affirmative action, prisoner rights, and sexual freedom. Through these original readings, Han reveals that unresolved legal legacies of racial slavery remain at the core of some of the most urgent social issues of our time. Ultimately, in Letters of the Law, diverse histories of civil rights reform converge as the ongoing practice of black freedom struggle"–Back cover.
