A Photograph Album of Trinidad At the Turn of the 19th Century

sidottu
This whimsical collection of photographs of the 19th and early 20th century was Paria Publishing's first "coffee table book" and first published in 1985 in a very large format exclusively in a local print run in Trinidad.In 2024, to commemorate the first anniversary of G rard A. Besson's death, Paria decided to re-publish the book and make it available worldwide via online book stores in a somewhat smaller format. The book was also augmented - according to G rard's wishes - with some new old photographs that have been added to Paria's archives in the last decades.The publication of these photographs was made possible mainly because of two splendid albums of old photographs of Trinidad that were given to Besson by Michael Pocock and Ruby Harding Findlayson. They are mostly of the 1890's and they form the basis of this album. Various other contributors have added photographs to the Album.
This is not a historical novel. This is a docudrama in book form. Philippine traces the adventurous life of an 18th century free coloured family in Grenada, Carriacou and Trinidad-with excursions into France, England and, aboard a French corsair raider, all over the Atlantic Ocean.This, Book First of the trilogy that is Philippine, captures the lives of the "Children of the Sun" of Jeanette, Free Negro Woman of Grenada, and her French husband Honor Philip. In it, G rard Besson places the various members of the Philip family sharply etched against the historical backdrop of the Revolutionary Atlantic, when the people of the Western World began to strain against the shackles of monarchy and servitude and the revolutions of France and South and North America, including Haiti and Grenada, uprooted the social order. We explore the lives and characters of each of Jeanette and Honor 's children based on whichever historical evidence we have-e.g. for Judith, there is an abundance of record that demonstrates her success as a planter and business woman, as opposed to Nicolas-R gis, where all we have is his will and wove a story around him with fiction and leaving the rest to the reader's imagination. Two other sons, Joachim and Honor fils, gave their lives in the Fedon revolution; both were convicted and hanged for their principles in their attempt of an armed fight for the rights of the Free Blacks and People of Colour.Philippine demonstrates how a mixed-race, slave-owning family was able to navigate those turbulent times so successfully, especially as it regards the upward mobility of the mulatto woman: all three daughters of Jeanette's marry white men, but the sons marry black or coloured women. For the interested reader, the historical documents were placed on G rard Besson's blog "Caribbean History Archives" (see QR code).
Book Second of the Philippine trilogy follows the lives of Dr. Jean-Baptiste Philip, the "Free Mulatto", a descendant of Jeannette and Honor Philip of one of Book First. As one of the Souls on Fire of the early 19th century Romantic Movement, and as an alienist, Dr. Philip fought and won the first civil rights case in the New World on behalf of the free coloured people in Trinidad-an achievement that with emancipation benefitted the former slaves, and in the long run the entire population-while exploring the effects of colonial prejudice on the psyche of his people.Book Third is a biopic of Maxwell Philip, another descendant of the Philip family in Trinidad. He became "The Representative Man", a political and legal luminary of Port of Spain of the mid-19th century. In a delightful plot the author lets C.L.R. James "discover" Maxwell in his interviews with Captain Arthur Andrew Cipriani in the 1920s.

Education and Social Change in China: Inequality in a Market Economy
Gerard A. Postiglione
Routledge
2006
sidottu
Market reform, financial decentralization, and economic globalization have greatly accentuated China's social and regional inequalities. Education is expected to address these inequalities in a context of rapid social change, including the rise of an urban middle class, changed status of women, resurgence of ethnic identities, growing rural to urban migration, and lingering poverty in remote areas. But some argue that state policies have not sufficiently addressed inequitable practices, and that schools actually perpetuate and reproduce inequities, giving rise to a new system of social stratification driven more by market forces than socialist principles. Featuring all original, previously unpublished material, this volume examines this argument through analysis of selected aspects of educational stratification in China during the reform era. Chapters focus on the new urban middle class, poor rural residents, the migrant population in urban areas, rural girls, and ethnic minorities. The contributors are established scholars in the field, and they build a conceptual framework for assessing the degree to which China's educational reforms are inclusive, equitable, and integrative across social categories and groups.

Worship Life: Worship is more than an experience... It's a RELATIONSHIP!

Yes, most Christians worship God at church with church "folks" on Sundays... or whichever day you worship. However, your worship is much more useful to God outside church walls in your Monday thru Saturday dealings with the rest of God's world Every Christian should assertively refer to him or herself as a "worshipper" and feel comfortable doing so as one matures in Christ. But the question which doesn't receive nearly enough attention is this: "What exactly is worship?" If you've ever asked such a question, this book is for you Gerard delves into a study of what it means to worship God in a way which perhaps you've never encountered before. The goal of this writing is to reintroduce the concept of worship separating it from the dogmatic, exterior-based exercise that past generations have portrayed it to be. This book will teach how singing, music, clothing, jargon, dancing, lighting or even double doctorate degrees in divinity and theology do not earn one the title "worshipper". Worship of the Living God incorporates more than anything external. It is a RELATIONSHIP that must become as important to the Christian as every other relationship you currently maintain... and then more important
Fundamentals of an Anointed Gospel Choir: Critical fundamentals for a gospel choir to maintain its spirituality despite today's contrary gospel cultur

This book was designed to provide both motivation and direction to any person passionate about gospel choir singing and performance. Whether you are involved in a world renowned professional choir, a local community choir or just considering joining the existing choir at your church, this book is full of proven critical knowledge which will help you become fruitful in that endeavor. This book emphasizes the universal importance of specific spiritual and mechanical fundamentals which are far too often neglected. An Anointed Gospel Choir is one who has the power of God "Activated" within their group. It's a choir with a spiritual Anointing "Rubbed" - "Smeared" - "Painted" on their effort to make an impact which is the goal of Christian ministry. Most choirs pretend to be anointed, but a truly Anointed Gospel Choir is clothed with "Life" and this enables them to reach a level of effectiveness that only a group with real power can reach...The fundamentals in this book are not intended to change the way your choir sounds. However, this information is what I consider the key elements in achieving the level of spiritual effectiveness that every true gospel choir should have. My goal is to increase your choir's fervency and help it begin to give performances that are spiritually nourishing to the listening congregation; not just entertaining.
A New Look at the Church: C.H.U.R.C.H. - An Acronym for an Effective Community in the 21st Century

A New Look at the Church C.H.U.R.C.H. An Acronym for an Effective Community in the 21st Century Why I wrote this book. At the beginning of the Common Era there was an apocalyptic prophet named John who said (Revelation 21:1-3): "I saw a new heaven and a new earth, because the first heaven and earth had disappeared, and the sea was gone. Then I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, dressed like a bride ready for her husband. I heard a loud voice from the throne say, "God lives with humans God will make his home with them, and they will be his people."Indeed, things began to dramatically change from the time before the Common Era when people were mainly hunter/gatherers and nomads. Societies were very local and separate from one another not far from the cradle of civilization.During the Common Era, from the 1st century until now through the 20th century, several major changes have come to the fore, changing styles of human interactions, knowledge of our habitats, and forming civilized societies. During these 20 centuries some very major changes occurred: Organized Religions CULT - a system of religious beliefs and ritual; also: its body of adherents]Beginning of Philosophy, "the most basic beliefs, concepts, and attitudes of an individual or group"Beginning of Science, "the state of knowing: knowledge as distinguished from ignorance or misunderstanding."The Enlightenment: European intellectual movement of the late 17th and 18th centuries emphasizing reason and individualism rather than tradition.]Population expansion throughout the whole earth.This 21st Century appears to be the beginning of a new ERA.With the addition and creation of AI (Artificial Intelligence), there is a growing prowess in our ability to explore the universe. There are plans to inhabit our Moon and possibly the Planet Mars in the next few decades, along with images for new inventions and methods of developments for earth and beyond.This book lists many ideas and beliefs that can no longer be held as verifiable truth and that need to be discarded, enabling our moving forward in progress for this new Era. In Chapter Five I begin with summaries of necessary suggested changes for the 21st century in replacing beliefs with verifiable truths that are essential for the scientific principles of observation, hypothesis, and theory. I use acronyms to amplify and enhance the full value of these concepts. L.O.V.E. Limitless Offerings Veraciously Expended] F.A.I.T.H. Finding Authenticity In Today's Happenings]C.H.U.R.C.H. Charitable Humanity Utilizing Resources Creating Hospitality]Acronyms hopefully provide a more complete and comprehensive understanding of changing procedures to make these progressive changes as we facilitate our new future. A personal model of mine is to follow the historic reality of Jesus, known as the "son of man" who taught, lived, and served among the people in Galilee and surrounding areas. I neglect all the exaggerations and stories that have grown up about him toward his being named God the Son, as formulated in the Doctrine of The Trinity, that developed after three centuries under Constantine with several hundred bishops of Rome. This book will hopefully help us to clarify the many misconceptions and additions that have been added for many years, enabling us to move forward with more verifiable truths as we begin the 21st Century.

Today's Renewing F.A.I.T.H.: Finding Authenticity In Today's Happenings - A Resource For Living Well

TODAY's RENEWING F.A.I.T.H. focuses on keeping ones faith up-to-date. It is the fifth in a series of books written since 2002 that carry a common theme of Faith and Science that is necessary for living well today. The acronym of F.A.I.T.H., used in this book, emphasizes the importance of Finding Authenticity In Today's Happenings for creating one's life with the verifiable facts of science in this 21st century. Because change, diversity, and equality are core values in our universe, we need to constantly and consistently appreciate these values in order to make positive progress and move forward one day at a time. For most people the view of everything is from a Singularity, in the realm of science, or God, in the realm of faith, or both. This book appreciates this common unity between science and faith and shares a love and equal respect for both traditions. Such notable people in faith and science are the prophets, Jesus, Mystics, the desert fathers and mothers, with more modern notables like Buddha, Galileo, Einstein, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Today, more than ever, as our world grows smaller with more and more people coming into sharing community, we need renewing faith in love, compassion and grace to become interdependent as friends and neighbors. Sharing and searching together the truths of verifiable facts as we progress in this age of reason, we will find authenticity in today's happenings for living well together.
