Ecowomanism at the Panamá Canal
Author: Sofía BetancourtPublisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1793641390
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 163
Book Description
In Ecowomanism at the Panamá Canal: Black Women, Labor, and Environmental Ethics, Sofia Betancourt constructs a transnational ecowomanist ethic that reclaims inherited environmental cultures across multiple sites of displacement. Betancourt argues that women in the African diaspora have a unique understanding of how a moral refusal to compromise their humanity provides the very understanding needed to survive what was once an inconceivable level of environmental devastation. This work is guided by the experiences of West Indian women, imported to Panamá by the United States from across the Caribbean, whose labor supported the building of the Panamá Canal—the so-called silver men and women who faced mud, mosquitoes, and malaria while building a literal pathway to the American empire.

Book Description
1903. Wafer was an English naval surgeon who deserted to join the buccaneers. This volume recalls his adventures and observations of his expeditions to the Isthmus, the western coast of South America and the West Indies from 1680 to 1688. While crossing the Isthmus of Panama after the taking of Santa Maria, Wafer was injured and left in the care of Darien Indians. The Indians took a liking to him, which allowed him to gather material for this book. He was picked up by William Dampier, the English explorer and buccaneer. His book today is still recognized as a standard reference on the area.

Book Description
Jesus said in John 16:4, I am the way, the truth...; Jesus came to this world to destroy the works of the Devil; because Satan is a liar, and the father of it(John 8:44); when the truth is revealed to us we do not have or display any excitement about it and much less do we develop or acquire a mental capacity and ability to relate, understand and to accept anything as an absolute truth. The Bible is the sacred inspiration of God which contains divine and infinite truths.
