Love of Freedom: Black Women in Colonial and Revolutionary New England

They baked New England's Thanksgiving pies, preached their faith to crowds of worshippers, spied for the patriots during the Revolution, wrote that human bondage was a sin, and demanded reparations for slavery. Black women in colonial and revolutionary New England sought not only legal emancipation from slavery but defined freedom more broadly to include spiritual, familial, and economic dimensions. Hidden behind the banner of achieving freedom was the assumption that freedom meant affirming black manhood The struggle for freedom in New England was different for men than for women. Black men in colonial and revolutionary New England were struggling for freedom from slavery and for the right to patriarchal control of their own families. Women had more complicated desires, seeking protection and support in a male headed household while also wanting personal liberty. Eventually women who were former slaves began to fight for dignity and respect for womanhood and access to schooling for black children.

This book provides a practical approach for applying posthumanist insights to qualitative research inquiry. Adams and Thompson invite readers to embrace their inner – and outer – cyborg as they consider how today’s professional practices and everyday ways of being are increasingly intertwined with digital technologies. Drawing on posthuman scholarship, the authors offer eight heuristics for “interviewing objects” in an effort to reveal the unique – and sometimes contradictory – contributions the digital is making to work, learning and living. The heuristics are drawn from Actor Network Theory, phenomenology, postphenomenology, critical media studies and related sociomaterial approaches. This text offers a theoretically informed yet practical approach for asking critical questions of digital and non-digital things in professional and personal spaces, and ultimately, for considering the ethical and political implications of a technology mediated world. A thought-provoking and innovative study, this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of technology studies, digital learning, and sociology.

In Welcome to Earth School, author, Catherine Adams reveals how the Earth is dedicated to the education of your soul. The moment you were born here, you began your Earth School curriculum. Every day of your life is a gift of time and opportunity to attend Classes such as Courage, Love or Patience, and gather wisdom for the growth of your soul. The actual purpose of life is to create with your thoughts, words and actions. Everything we encounter throughout the day is a spiritual opportunity. Every moment challenges us to rise to our highest, to choose strength over weakness, wisdom over ignorance, and love over fear. This book examines the source of life itself, how you came into Being and the purpose of your creation. This fresh perspective of your unique soul journey encourages you to live a life of greater meaning. It reveals what gifts and tools of Spirit are available to assist you in every moment and will open your mind to the reality that your life has a greater purpose. With the knowledge of who you are, why you are in School and what your soul hopes to attain, the reality of an eternity of purpose becomes part of your everyday life. Attending Earth School holds the promise of possibility. No one can take the journey to enlightenment for anyone else. It must be discovered and experienced individually. The path to Light and beauty is as important as the destination. As you pursue knowledge and wisdom, your education on the Earth Campus offers you the opportunity to add enlightenment to your spirit and illumination to your soul. This is why we go to Earth School—to create with your life, face your fears and perfect your soul. That is why your life is a journey. You start at the beginning and create your life, one-step at a time. You decide which paths take you forward, backward, sideways, or you can choose to remain stationary. Although we get many chances in one lifetime to learn, the Creator does not limit our possibilities to one life. We are loved too much to be told, “You are done, and you have no more chances.” We also have the gift of Angelic support. Our Guardian Angel is a beam of Light, fully connected to the Creator, yet responding to us. Angels are not separate from the Creator, but are an extension of God. They are like a hand reaching down from the source of Light from which souls are created. These Beings of Grace are an expression of The Creator’s energy. They stretch from Him to wherever they are needed. This is how God is in every place, in every moment, with every soul. Light Beings of Grace are present, yet non-intrusive, to allow our free will. They are always standing by us in Earth School as we discover our true self and explore our opportunities In discovering her gifts of spirit, Catherine began to embrace her Earth School education with her entire Being. It brought to her life limitless wealth in the experience of the Unity of Souls. In seeing the path of more than 5,000 souls that came to her for encouragement, she witnessed their personal stories and gained a deeper understanding of the Universe. In following her soul path, she became a strong Advocate for souls. To be a Soul Advocate is to choose to embrace the highest good for all souls. This book stems from her desire to help all of us live as fully as possible, to encourage the world to be a better, more compassionate place and to help each other live mindfully. This is the spiritual calling of her soul. Welcome to Earth School will help you to: • Become what you wish to be — one thought, one intent, one act at a time. • Aspire to become enlightened — one class, one lesson, one journey at a time. • Better yourself — one action, one moment, one hour, one day at a time. As the days add up, your thoughts will take root and grow. Your intentions will come to fruition, and your moments will be profound and filled with purpose.
