Contagions of Empire
Author: Khary Oronde PolkPublisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469655519
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
From 1898 onward, the expansion of American militarism and empire abroad increasingly relied on black labor, even as policy remained inflected both by scientific racism and by fears of contagion. Black men and women were mobilized for service in the Spanish-Cuban-American War under the War Department's belief that southern blacks carried an immunity against tropical diseases. Later, in World Wars I and II, black troops were stigmatized as members of a contagious "venereal race" and were subjected to experimental medical treatments meant to curtail their sexual desires. By turns feared as contagious and at other times valued for their immunity, black men and women played an important part in the U.S. military's conscription of racial, gender, and sexual difference, even as they exercised their embattled agency at home and abroad. By following the scientific, medical, and cultural history of African American enlistment through the archive of American militarism, this book traces the black subjects and agents of empire as they came into contact with a world globalized by warfare.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 125
Book Description
The wise King Solomon gives us this proverb: “Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve before kings” (Prov 22:29). This book won’t ensure that you and your professional skills end up meeting kings, but it will show how you and your training can be planted among unreached people abroad. By taking a job in your field of expertise, you gain far more than a paycheck; rather, a network of relationships with colleagues and neighbors. In doing so, you will learn that you are in good company with the Apostle Paul and thousands of other “tentmakers” in church history. Deckert draws on his tentmaking experience with his wife and children spanning twenty years and six countries. Readers will learn of a biology professor colleague in the Middle East who, on hearing the gospel over lunch, replied, “That’s different. That’s wonderful. No one ever taught me that before.” In another country, a nationally ranked chess player, after reading the Gospels, was moved to tears, saying, “He died for me. I’m a sinner.” This book takes you through twelve key areas of tentmaking, from finding a job to retirement.
