The Color Problem in Early National America as Viewed by John Adams, Jefferson and Jackson

Frederick M. Binder

This project has been devoted to an investigation of the Negro and Indian problems in the formative period of our nation as revealed in the thoughts and deeds of three outstanding political figures who rose to the office of the President. The choice of John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson has been based upon the desire to study the ideas of men who are clearly recognized as leaders of political movements, as well as being patriots, and to include individuals who are historically associated with each of the major sections of the nation as well as with the nation as a whole. The choice of men who achieved the Presidency presented an opportunity to observe the shaping of national policy where the Negro and Indian were concerned and an indication of the relationship between the personal views of these Presidents and the policies they advocated.

Abraham, Ancestry, and Ethnicity in Luke’s Gospel

From These Stones

Andrew Benko

Abraham, Ancestry, and Ethnicity in Luke's Gospel: From These Stones explores how Luke employs ancestry-especially descent from Abraham-to recategorize believers and nonbelievers. Capitalizing on the surprising slipperiness of race antiquity, Luke offers a new layer of ethnic identity to gentile believers, as Abraham's extended family.

A Nation of Peoples

A Sourcebook on America's Multicultural Heritage

Elliott Robert Barkan

The debate over America's multiculturalism has been intense for nearly three decades, dividing opponents into those insisting on such recognition and those fearing that such a formal acknowledgment will undermine the civic bonds created by a heterogeneous nation. Facts have often been the victim in this dispute, and few works have successfully attempted to present the broad spectrum of America's ethnic groups in a format that is readable, current, and authoritative. The chapters in this reference book demonstrate that America has been far more than a nation of immigrants; it has been a nation of peoples—of virtually all races, religions, and nationalities—inclusive of indigenous natives and peoples long present as well as myriad immigrant and refugee groups. Not all groups have equally found America to be a land of opportunity, and the successes of some groups have come at the expense of others. To understand the American experience, the reader must not just study the story of immigrants living on the East Coast, but also the history of those living in the South, Southwest, West, and even Alaska and Hawaii. As a reference book, this volume provides thorough coverage of more than two dozen racial, ethnic, and religious groups in the United States. Each chapter is written by an expert contributor and overviews the experiences of one group or a cluster of related groups. The chapters are arranged alphabetically and cover groups such as African Americans, American Indians, Filipinos, Hawaiians, Mexicans, Mormons, and Puerto Ricans. To the extent possible, each chapter discusses the initial arrival of the group in America; the adaptation of the first generation of immigrants; the economic, political, and cultural integration of the group; and the status of the group in contemporary American society. Each chapter closes with a bibliographical essay, and the volume concludes with a review of the most important general works on America's multicultural heritage.

Nation and Ethnicity

Chinese Discourses on History, Historiography, and Nationalism (1900s-1920s)

Julia C. Schneider

Winner of the Foundation Council Award of the Georg-August-University of Göttingen Public Law Foundation in the category of “Outstanding Publications of Young Scientists”, 2017. In Nation and Ethnicity: Chinese Discourses on History, Historiography, and Nationalism (1900s-1920s) Julia C. Schneider give an analysis of nationalist and historiographical discourses among late imperial and early republican Chinese thinkers. In particular, she researches their approaches towards non-Chinese people within the Qing Empire and the question on how to integrate them into a Chinese nation-state. Non-Chinese people, mainly Manchus, Mongols, Tibetans, and Turkic Muslims, (Uyghurs), have not been considered as important factors in the history of early Chinese nationalism so far. But Chinese nationalist and historiographical discourses tell not only a lot about the Chinese image of the Other, but also shed new light on the images of the Chinese Self and its assumed ability to assimilate and integrate other ethnicities.

God's Acts for Israel, Gentiles, and Christians

A Theology of the Acts of the Apostles

Joshua W. Jipp

The book of Acts is often read as a narrative. Here's how to read it as theology. In this landmark essay collection, Joshua Jipp explains how the Acts of the Apostles and its companion volume, Luke's Gospel, illuminate what God has done for Israel, for Gentiles, and for Christians. The collection—which brings together new essays with previously published works—provides close readings of specific passages while also setting forth a comprehensive vision of the character, purpose, and activity of God. Among other topics, Jipp explores intertextual readings of Israel's sacred writings, the suffering Messiah, ethnic reasoning, conversion, mental illness, economics, and hospitality. The result is a significant contribution to the theology of Acts and, by extension, the theology of the New Testament. Expansive in scope and evangelical in spirit, this is a must-read volume for New Testament scholars and theologians alike.

Prejudice and Christian Beginnings

Investigating Race, Gender, and Ethnicity in Early Christianity

Elisabeth Schussler Fiorenza, Laura Nasrallah

While scholars of the New Testament and its Roman environment have recently focused attention on ethnicity, on the one hand, and gender on the other, the two questions have often been discussed separately-and without reference to the contemporary critical study of race theory. This interdisciplinary volume addresses this lack by drawing together new essays by prominent scholars in the fields of New Testament, classics, and Jewish studies. These essays push against the marginalization of race and ethnicity studies and put the received wisdom of New Testament studies squarely in the foreground.
