In the tradition of Matthew Desmonds Evicted, a longtime housing activist presents a vivid and myth-breaking account of why homelessness endures in contemporary America...Millions of people are affected by homelessness, but media pundits and politicians see homelessness as a social work problem, or a matter of personal pathology, or some peculiar subspecies of urban poverty.Informed by the authors own front-line experiences from more than two decades working as an advocate for homeless people in New York City and his work with housing activists across the country. Placeless: Homelessness in the New Gilded Age presents an alternative and innovative, wide-angle view of homelessness and displacement in New York and elsewhere.A tour of the geography of homelessness in New York City, where some 100,000 people a night sleep in the citys shelter system, Markee visits certain city landmarks where homeless New Yorkers struggle to survive: armories once built to quarter militias who put down worker uprisings a train tunnel underneath Riverside Park a grim intake center where infants, children, and families were forced to sleep on office floors a former psychiatric wing of Bellevue Hospital now sheltering hundreds of homeless men each night a Manhattan park surrounded by luxury condos where the police routinely harassed homeless street-dwellers Blending historical analysis, urban theory, and the latest policy research, Markee considers homelessness in America as a tragic yet inevitable consequence of economic shifts inaugurated in the Reagan era, worsening inequality and housing affordability, systemic racism, and neoliberal government policies.At a moment where tabloids and politicians use homelessness as an excuse to whip up fear, Placeless is a powerful and moving account of a social problem whose solution is entirely possible.

The third part of the epic autobiography of Chateaubriand, the aristocratic Frenchman who lived through the beginning of the French Revolution and who would become the founder of the Romantic movement in Europe, now in a new, unabridged English translationthe first in a century.In 1815with the Napoleonic era at an end and royalty restoredFrançois-Rene de Chateaubriand seemed poised, along with the Bourbon family hed long supported, to wield unprecedented power. Already one of Frances most celebrated writers, he now became an ambassador and statesman of the French kingdom. Yet as passionate about royalty as Chateaubriand was in principle, in reality he was a recalcitrant subject. A defender of the constitution and of freedom of the press, he quarreled constantly with Louis XVIII and Charles X and eventually tendered his resignationjust in time for the July Revolution, which put an end to Bourbon rule and allowed Chateaubriand to go back to praising the family, now safely exiled to the realm of the ideal. In the third volume of Alex Andriesses new translation of Memoirs from Beyond the Grave, Chateaubriand writes about international politics, a papal conclave, and the revolutionary strife of 1830 with undiminished flair. And he remains one of the great mastersperhaps unequaled in thisof literary digression. Readers will gladly accompany him on walks around Paris and Rome, as he reflects on storms and ruins, moonlight and mortality.

Researcher and lecturer Carl Lorenz Cervantes explores the timeless wisdom, ancestral worldviews, and spiritual tools of Filipino psychology and cultureand offers Indigenous ways of knowing for all readers, Filipino and non-Filipino alike. Drawing from folklore, language, ethnography, and personal story, Sikodiwa is a mind-opening exploration for readers of Braiding Sweetgrass and Fresh Banana LeavesAng hindi marunong lumingon sa pinanggalingan ay hindi makararating sa pinaroroonan: Those who do not honor their roots will never reach their destination.Filipino proverbFor centuries, Filipino lifeways were presented to outsiders through the distorted lens of colonizationand the oppression, exploitation, and denigration suffered by Filipino ancestors are well-documented. Here, Carl Lorenz Cervantes draws from Filipino folklore, language, and culture to reorient toward an Indigenous worldview: one that rejects being seen as a passive object in history. That reclaims Filipino identity, storytelling, and liberation on Filipino terms. And that embraces a powerful truth: We are the descendants of our colonized ancestors, but we are also the grandchildren of the revolution.Rooted in Indigenous Filipino worldviews, Sikodiwa offers a vital exploration of:Indigenization: reclaiming and restoring Indigenous worldviews Cosmic origins: Defining Indigenous through the lens of creation myths Filipino-ness: Navigating processes of decolonization and the vagueness of cultural identity Deep spirituality: Folk healing, native spirituality, and deep, mystical realities Cultural authenticity: navigating the complexities of identity and reconnecting with our most authentic selves Reclaiming values: Challenging stereotypes about Filipino cultural values Towards Kapwa: Understanding shared identityand learning how it manifests Revolution and fate: Applying cultural frameworks and existential tools to self-help practices Cervantes also shows how we can apply vital cultural frameworks to our own self-help and empowerment practices, from learning to use existential tools like Bahala na (letting go of burden) to understanding the inherently collective meaning-making of Kasaysayan (history). A vital contribution to a more inclusive world psychology, Sikodiwa uplifts Indigenized ways of knowingand offers a timely and inspired path toward collective consciousness, cultural authenticity, and embodied well-being.

Freedom is generally thought of as the ability to achieve goals and satisfy desires. But what are the sources of these goals and desires? If they arise from ignorance, habitual patterns, and negative emotions, is the freedom to pursue these goals true freedomor is it just a myth? In this book, Chogyam Trungpa explores the meaning of freedom in the profound context of Tibetan Buddhism. He shows how our attitudes, preconceptions, and even our spiritual practices can become chains that bind us to repetitive patterns of frustration and despair. He also explains how meditation can bring into focus the causes of frustration, and how these negative forces can aid us in advancing toward true freedom. Trungpas unique ability to express the essence of Buddhist teachings in the language and imagery of contemporary American culture makes this book one of the best sources of the Buddhist doctrine ever written. This edition also contains a foreword by Pema Chodron, a close student of Chogyam Trungpa and the best-selling author of When Things Fall Apart.

"Who do you say that I am?" This question that Jesus asked of his disciples, so central to his mission, became equally central to the fledgling church. How would it respond to the Gnostics who answered by saying Jesus was less than fully human? How would it respond to the Arians who contended he was less than fully God? It was these challenges that ultimately provoked the Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325.In this Ancient Christian Doctrine volume covering the first half ofthe article in the Nicene Creed on God the Son, John Anthony McGuckin shows how it countered these two errant poles by equally stressing Jesus authentic humanity (that is, his fleshliness and real embodiment in space and time) and his spiritual glory or full divinity.One cottage industry among some historical theologians, he notes, has been to live in a fever of conspiracy theory where orthodox oppressors dealt heavy-handedly with poor heretics. Or the picture is painted of ancient grassroots inclusivists being suppressed by establishment elites. The reality was far from such romantic notions. It was in fact the reverse.The church who denounced these errors did so in the name of a greater inclusivity based on common sense and common education. The debate was conducted generations before Christian bishops could ever call on the assistance of secular power to enforce their views. Establishing the creeds was not a reactionary movement of censorship but rather one concerned with the deepest aspects of quality control.Ultimately, what was and is at stake is not fussy dogmatism but the central gospel message of Gods stooping "down in mercy to enter the life of his creatures and share their sorrows with them. He has lifted up the weak and the broken to himself, and he healed their pain by abolishing their alienation."The five-volume Ancient Christian Doctrine series follows up on the acclaimed Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture to provide patristic commentary on the Nicene Creed, translating source material from the church fathers into English for unparalleled insight into early church history.

"We believe in one God, the Father." The opening clause of the Nicene Creed can be summed up in a single wordmonotheism. In the early centuries of the church, this striking doctrine stood starkly against a cultural background of multiple deities and spiritual powers. While it clearly builds on its Jewish heritage, calling God "Father" anticipates the Father-Son relationship in the Godhead that early Christians knew and robustly upheld.The first article of theNicene Creed also presupposes that there is an objective body of teaching that Christians are expected to confess as their faith. This idea seems normal and natural to us, but it was a novelty in the ancient world. Neither Judaism nor any pagan religion or philosophy could claim to have a closely defined set of beliefs that everyone adhering to it was expected to profess publicly and defend against all comers.While this article on God the Father is the shortest and arguably oldest portion of the Creed, it fully sets forth the fundamental understanding of God as creator and originator of all that is. This commentary in its selection of texts from the early church highlights the common understanding of the One God in three Persons, elucidating the churchs understanding of divine attributes and trinitarian relations.The five-volume Ancient Christian Doctrine series follows up on the acclaimed Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture to provide patristic commentary on theNicene Creed, translating source material from the church fathers into English for unparalleled insight into early church history.

This updated and greatly expanded edition of the Letters of Ayn Rand is a vital resource for anyone interested in the key political, philosophical, and artistic issues of the 20th century. There is no separation between Ayn Rand the vibrant, creative woman and Ayn Rand the intellectual dynamo, the rational thinker, who was also a passionately committed champion of individual freedom.These remarkable letters begin in 1926, with a note from the twenty-year-old Ayn Rand, newly arrived in Chicago from Soviet Russia, an impoverished unknown determined to realize the promise of the land of opportunity. They move through her struggles and successes as a screenwriter, a playwright, and a novelist, her sensational triumph as the author of The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, and her eminence as founder and shaper of Objectivism, one of the most challenging philosophies of our time. They are written to such famed contemporaries as Cecil B. DeMille, Frank Lloyd Wright, H.L. Mencken, Alexander Kerensky, Barry Goldwater and Mickey Spillane.There are letters to philosophers, priests, publishers, and political columnists; to her beloved husband, Frank O Connor; and to her intimate circle of friends and her growing legion of followers. Her letters range in tone from warm affection to icy fury, and in content from telling commentaries on the events of the day to unforgettably eloquent statements of her philosophical ideas. They are presented chronologically, with explanatory notes by Michael S. Berliner, who identifies the recipients of the letters and provides relevant background and context. Here is a chronicle that captures the inspiring drama of a towering literary genius and seminal thinker, andoften day-by-dayher amazing life.
