America's Unholy Ghosts
“Goza’s is a timely book. In the era of 45’s presidency, it is increasingly apparent that the racism, bigotry, and xenophobia currently on display are symptoms of an older and deeper corruption. As Goza argues, these evils are not an aberration; rather, ‘America designed her democracy to perpetuate racial injustices and economic inequality.’”
The World Could Be Otherwise
“In our time of widespread violence, systemic greed, and terror, only a bold author proposes that ‘the world could be otherwise.’ The poet and Buddhist priest Norman Fischer does so in this accessible and lively book, holding forth on the promise of the human imagination to set us on the path of spiritual liberation.”
American Sutra
'“What makes Williams’s narrative so compelling is that it is not centered on the state or its subsidiaries but rather on the lived experiences of Japanese and Japanese American Buddhists. American Sutra encapsulates the very best of what 'lived religion' scholarship can and should be. The rich detail of individual experience builds the entire narrative . . .”
The Human Person
The Human Person presents a brief introduction to the human mind, the soul, immortality, and free will. While delving into the thought of Thomas Aquinas, it addresses contemporary topics, such as skepticism, mechanism, animal language research, and determinism. Steven J. Jensen probes the primal questions of human nature. Are human beings free or determined? Is the capacity to reason distinctive to human beings or do animals also have some share of reason? Have animals really been taught to use language?
The Church and Indigenous Peoples in the Americas
“The Church and Indigenous Peoples in the Americas is a thoughtfully curated and deeply challenging read. Its themes of deep listening, dialogue, and accompaniment are quite appropriate to the current era of the #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter movements. . . .The multilayered challenges posed by this book are both potentially contested and potentially transformative of individuals, communities, and societies.”
