Boys strapped to carpet looms in India, women trafficked into sex slavery across Europe, children born into bondage in Mauritania, and migrants imprisoned at gunpoint in the United States are just a few of the many forms slavery takes in the twenty-first century. There are twenty-seven million slaves alive today, more than at any point in history, and they are found on every continent in the world except Antarctica. To Plead Our Own Cause contains ninety-five narratives by slaves and former slaves from around the globe. Told in the words of slaves themselves, the narratives movingly and eloquently chronicle the horrors of contemporary slavery, the process of becoming free, and the challenges faced by former slaves as they build a life in freedom. An editors' introduction lays out the historical, economic, and political background to modern slavery, the literary tradition of the slave narrative, and a variety of ways we can all help end slavery today. Halting the contemporary slave trade is one of the great human-rights issues of our time. But just as slavery is not over, neither is the will to achieve freedom, "plead" the cause of liberation, and advocate abolition. Putting the slave's voice back at the heart of the abolitionist movement, To Plead Our Own Cause gives occasion for both action and hope.

"Keeping the myths alive in our minds, where their ancient truths can undergird our basic sense of what it means to be a human, is a steadying factor in a time that pleads for guiding compass points. With Hillman filling his valuable role as an inspirer of action to counteract the disturbing Anamnesis, or forgetfulness of past verities, our work is cut out for all of us who were fortunate enough to have known James Hillman and appreciate his pithy and enlivening words of wisdom."--Joanne H. Stroud, Director, James Hillman Symposium"Myths tell a 'just-so' truth. They resonate with ancient implications, the interweavings of plots and characters and locations, worldly and otherworldly, and with extraordinary pathologies and extraordinary miracles. The truth of myth is never single, never simple, never general. . . . Myth speaks the frank truth of the world as it presents itself to our senses, clearly, evidently, directly as a world alive--animated, intentional, intelligible, and at moments, vividly beautiful."--James Hillman, Mythic Figures, 2007Includes works by: James Hillman, Seemee Ali, Gustavo Barcellos, Gustavo Beck, Natalie Cox Herndon, Robert Kugelmann, Jean Hinson Lall, David L.

Though she was only a child during the darkest days of Ireland s Great Famine, Katie Macauley feels responsible for the loss of her family s land and the death of her sister. Now a woman grown, Katie has left Ireland for America and the promise of earning money enough to return home again and plead for her family s forgiveness. She arrives in Hope Springs, Wyoming Territory, a town sharply divided between the Americans who have settled there, with their deep hatred of the Irish, and the Irish immigrants who have come searching for a place to call home. Her arrival tips the precarious balance, and the feud erupts anew. Even in the midst of hatred and violence, however, Katie finds reason to hope. Two men, as different as they are intriguing, vie for her heart, turning her thoughts for the first time toward a future away from Ireland. Katie must now make the hardest decision of her life: stay and give her heart a chance at love, or return home and give her soul the possibility of peace.

Page after page, beautifully illustrated snowflakes fall from the sky, children skate, and snowmen dance--while poetry of hope pleads for the promise of a cure.

Here is someone who has managed to regain Kreislerian innocence." (FonoForum)

In 1915, shortly after the outbreak of World War I, between twelve hundred and two thousand women representing twelve nations journeyed to The Netherlands to plead for peace at The Hague. At this first International Congress of Women they called for "continuous mediation" until peace was restored, and they met with representatives of the warring governments in an idealistic attempt to halt the military clash. Although they did not stop the war, their proposals are still used as guidelines for most diplomatic negotiations between hostile nations.Three highly talented, progressive women led the American delegation: two Nobel Peace Prize winners--Jane Addams (cohounder of Hull-House in Chicago) and Emily G. Balch (a distinguished sociologist who taught at Wellesley College)--as well as Alice Hamilton (the first industrial physician in the United States and also the first woman to join the faculty of Harvard University).This book is the first-hand report by these three remarkable women of their mission for peace. Balch and Hamilton devote several chapters to a description of their travels, their visits with various heads of state, and meetings with pacifists in different countries. In a controversial chapter, Addams sharply criticizes the older male patriarchal leadership that manipulates young men to fight needless wars. Addams concludes the volume by advocating women's full participation as voting citizens to promote the cause of peace and the spirit of internationalism.Complete with an illuminating introduction by University of Nebraska scholar Mary Jo Deegan, this new edition of a valuable historical document will be of interest to students of women's studies, history, and international relations.

Christ's new commandment to us was, Love One Another. He repeatedly admonished all who came to listen to His words to "love" as the basis for their earthly existence. He still pleads to His people today for that same special commitment. Unfortuntely, we seem no closer to understanding this new commandment today, than were the people of Jesus' time. The world devestated by violence, greed, hatred, and pride, is still searching for peace and love. In this book, In the School of Love, Fr. Slavko Barbaric has assembled many of the messages given by Our Lady in Medjugorje along with his own meditations into a blueprint for this struggling world and its need to find peace and love.
