Counterpower, Making Change Happen

BY TIM GEE
Tim Gee is a British Quaker, active in social change movements and an ifluential thinker on such matters. No major campaign has ever been successful without Counterpower - the power that the 'have-nots' can use to remove the power of the 'haves'. This is examined by investigating the history and tactics of the suffrage movement, the labour movement, the anti-war movement, the anti-colonial movement, the environmental movement and today's human rights and anti-globalisation movement. In the context of the financial crisis and the threat of climate change, engagement in system critical social movements is on the increase. This unique book demystifies the power dynamics of social change.

The Early Quakers And The 'kingdom Of God'

BY GERALD GUITON
The Early Quakers and the 'Kingdom of God' takes account of the early Quakers in Britain during the middle years of the seventeenth century as nonviolent, spiritual revolutionaries. Theirs was a time of intellectual ferment and socio-political, economic and ecclesiastical upheaval not to mention three horrific and devastating civil wars. It breaks new ground in British theology and ecclesiastical history by investigating the early Quakers' vision of, and intimate relationship with, the Kingdom of God. Like Jesus of Nazareth, they were particularly devoted to the Kingdom, contrasting it to that of the Puritans, Episcopalians and Catholics.

Drift

The Unmooring Of American Military Power

BY RACHEL MADDOW
America is at peace with perpetual war, with all the financial and human costs that entails. Maddow takes us from the Vietnam War to today's war in Afghanistan, along the way exploring the disturbing rise of executive authority, the gradual outsourcing of our war-making capabilities to private companies, the plummeting percentage of American families whose children fight our constant wars for us, and even the changing fortunes of G.I. Joe. Sensible yet provocative, dead serious yet seriously funny, Drift will reinvigorate a "loud and jangly" political debate about how, when, and where to apply America's strength and power--and who gets to make those decisions.

Red Brick, Black Mountain, White Clay

Reflections On Art, Family, And Survival

BY CHRISTOPHER BENFEY
Bricks form the backbone of life in North Carolina's rural Piedmont, where Benfey's mother was raised among centuries-old folk potteries, tobacco farms, and clay pits. Her father, like his father before him, believed in the deep honesty of brick, that men might build good lives with the bricks they laid. Nurtured in this red clay world of ancient craft and Quaker radicalism, Benfey's mother was poised to set out from home when a tragic romance cracked her young life in two. Salvaging the broken shards of his mother's past and exploring the revitalized folk arts resisting industrialization, Benfey discovers a world brimming with possibility and creativity.

Grief, Forgiveness & Redemption As A Way Of Transformation -

BY ELAINE PRYCE
The traumatic loss of a loved one is among the most devastating hurdles that life can throw in a person's path. Such grief, whatever its cause, alters existence forevermore and confronts the survivor, eventually, with a choice: to move through pain into a more authentic way of being, or to withdraw from full engagement with the spiritual meanings of life and mortality. Drawing from her own experience, as well as from art, literature, and traditional wisdom, Elaine Pryce explores the spiritual aspects of grief, recovery from grief, forgiveness, and the blessings of acceptance. Discussion questions included.
