Afro-Brazilian Religions

Afro-Brazilian Religions

José Eduardo Porcher

Cambridge University Press
2025
pokkari
This Element introduces Afro-Brazilian religions and underscores the necessity for an expanded methodological framework to encompass these traditions in the philosophy of religion. It emphasizes the importance of incorporating overlooked sources like mythic narratives and ethnographies while acknowledging the pivotal role of material culture in cognitive processes. Furthermore, it advocates for adopting an embodiment paradigm to facilitate the development of a philosophy of religious practice. The Element illustrates this approach by examining phenomena often neglected in philosophical discussions on religion, such as sacrifice and spirit possession, and delves into the ontological commitments and implications of these practices. It also stresses the significance of employing thick descriptions and embracing interdisciplinary dialogue to cultivate a globally inclusive philosophy of religion, capable of engaging with phenomena frequently sidelined within the mainstream.

The Market Preparation of Carolina Rice

The Market Preparation of Carolina Rice

Richard Dwight Porcher Jr.

University of South Carolina Press
2014

Richard Dwight Porcher, Jr., eminent field biologist and lowcountry South Carolina native, has brought all of his skills as a botanist, historian, photographer, and conservationist to bear in a multidisciplinary study of the rice industry in South Carolina from its beginnings in the 1670s to its demise in the twentieth century. Using the tools of the geographer, civil engineer, draftsman and close readings of many primary and secondary sources on the history of rice culture in the colony and state, Porcher and coauthor William Robert Judd have amassed a great body of previously unknown information on rice history. Detailed illustrations and descriptions of the implements and machines featuring technology used to prepare Carolina rice for overseas markets, The Market Preparation of Carolina Rice includes 161 illustrations, most of them meticulously hand-drafted by Judd expressly for this edition. The book begins with the preindustrial implements and techniques used by African and African American slaves and workers in the late 1600s and early 1700s and concludes with the water- and steam-powered machines that drove rice threshing and milling until the end of the industry in 1911. In great detail the authors reveal the immense, continually evolving technological innovations of an agricultural industry that spanned the Industrial Revolution and much of the history of the colony and state. With this rich body of knowledge in hand, Porcher stands at odds with theories held by most historians of rice culture who generally assert that the plantation culture of rice was in unrecoverable decline as the South hastened to civil war. Porcher believes that decline was retarded by continuous technological innovation and increasing investment in land, labour, and mechanization as local planters sought to sustain profits in a globally expanding market. Porcher asserts that the post-Civil War loss of slave labour and destruction of infrastructure, a series of hurricanes, competition from rice grown in the American Southwest starting in 1880, and financial restraints that led to the cessation of rice culture in lowcountry South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia. Impoverished and unable to adapt to new technologies and market demands, rice planters left the commercial rice enterprise to others.
Jesus Christ is my Heartmender

Jesus Christ is my Heartmender

"From the Heart of a silent weeper, tears of anguish swiftly flew, Kept inside by a wall of pride, but only the weeper knows...." And so begins the Silent Weeper, a poem by Connie Porcher in her first-ever publications, Jesus Christ is my Heartmender.Many of us yearn for a life brand new. Yet, locked within the agony of broken heart instead of feeling free, we build a prison wall and keep life's pain within...We wish to cast off the mask and replace the synthetic smile that hides tears. We wish to heal and be whole. But how? Connie shares with us how hearts can truly be healed and our masks can be forever cast aside by the Master Heartmender...For over 30 years, these treasured poems have resided in a plain white notebook, largely unseen by the world. These poems were whispered to Connie by the Lord, written down on paper and shared with just a few special people. As Connie has experienced the mending of her heart by Jesus Christ, so she has felt the leading to reach out and mend other hearts with the same love she found when she came to know Him. She has counseled women for many years and has a tremendous love and compassion for the hurting. For the last few years Connie has felt the Lords leading to put her poems into print with two purposes in mind: to encourage those who are struggling and to glorify the God she loves, the Master Heartmender.May these words touch your heart and bring joy, peace and healing to your soul. May you come to know Jesus Christs immeasurable love and may He become your Heartmender.
