Download and read online ebook Assyrians of Eastern Massachusetts write by Sargon Donabed. This book was released on 2006. Assyrians of Eastern Massachusetts available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The widespread persecution of the Christian Assyrians by neighboring populations in the Ottoman Empire led to their immigration to the United States. Beginning at the end of the 19th century, with an influx during the Great War, Assyrians settled mostly in eastern Massachusetts, finding an abundance of work along its ports and among its large factory base. Concerned with the welfare of their community, these immigrants established a multitude of cultural, social, and political institutions to help promote awareness of Assyria. The establishment of St. Mary's Assyrian Apostolic Church, the first of its kind outside of the Middle East, prompted the solidarity of Assyrians in Massachusetts and became a model for later settlements of Assyrians in the United States. Through family portraits and documents from both religious and secular institutions, Assyrians of Eastern Massachusetts addresses the adjustment of this community in the United States.

Download and read online ebook Forgotten History write by Edward Steers, Jr.. This book was released on 2016-09-30. Forgotten History available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The only history we know is what we have been taught, and much of that eventually becomes lost in the dustbin of forgotten history. The Lone Ranger was not written just for entertainment. It's creator, George W. Trendle sought to use the classic hero to teach children patriotic and moral values. Gas rationing during World War 2 had little to do with conserving precious fuel. Believed to be protected from Japanese attack by the Pacific Ocean, the country was repeatedly bombed by Japanese efforts to carry the war to America. And so it goes, from presidential succession to the questionable constitutionality of creating the State of West Virginia, to saving the world's greatest art treasures from the destruction of war. Intriguing stories that slipped through the cracks of history. Forgotten History brings a few of these interesting moments back to life, if only for a brief time, it is a worthy effort.

Download and read online ebook Unsettling Colonial Modernity in Islamicate Contexts write by Kara Adbolmaleki. This book was released on 2017-05-11. Unsettling Colonial Modernity in Islamicate Contexts available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. By focusing on colonial histories and legacies, this edited volume breaks new ground in studying modernity in Islamicate contexts. From a range of disciplinary perspectives, the authors probe ‘colonial modernity’ as a condition whose introduction into Islamicate contexts was facilitated historically by European encroachment into South Asia, the Middle East, and Northern Africa. They also analyze the various modes through which, in Europe itself, and in North America by extension, people from Islamicate contexts have been, and continue to be, otherized in the constitution and advancement of the project of modernity. The book further brings to light a multiplicity of social, political, cultural, and aesthetic modes of resistance aimed at subverting and unsettling colonial modernity in both Muslim-majority and diasporic contexts.
