"God's Pale Horse" by James Ryan is a profound and unsettling exploration of historical injustice, intertwining divine mandates with human atrocities. Through a meticulous examination of the conquest and subsequent devastation of the Americas, Ryan unveils how the invocation of divine authority has been historically manipulated to justify the unspeakable: the systematic extermination of indigenous peoples. This book takes the reader on a harrowing journey through history, starting from the apocalyptic riders in the Book of Revelation, echoing through the arrival of Columbus, and resonating in the genocidal policies against Native Americans. Ryan compellingly argues that these events were not merely acts of survival but orchestrated campaigns of extermination sanctioned by misinterpretations of Christian doctrines and fueled by economic greed. From the shores touched by Columbus to the battlefields of the American Indian Wars, "God's Pale Horse" explores the theological and political justifications used to rationalize the horrors committed against Native populations. It examines the portrayal of indigenous people as obstacles to the divine promise, destined to be conquered or annihilated. Ryan challenges the reader to reconsider the narratives of American history and the sanctified violence carried out in the name of God and country. This book is not only a historical account but a moral inquiry into the depths of human cruelty and the enduring fight for justice. It is a crucial read for anyone seeking to understand the darker chapters of American history and the implications of using divine justification for terrestrial horrors. "God's Pale Horse" is a call to acknowledge and rectify the past, urging a reexamination of the myths that have shaped American identity. It's an essential addition to the discourse on history, religion, and the ethics of power.
Combining memoir with oral history, creates a vivid and searing portrait of the Freedom Summer of 1965
Volume 1 of Nothing but Love in God’s Water traced the music of protest spirituals from the Civil War to the American labor movement of the 1930s and 1940s, and on through the Montgomery bus boycott. This second volume continues the journey, chronicling the role this music played in energizing and sustaining those most heavily involved in the civil rights movement. Robert Darden, former gospel music editor for Billboard magazine and the founder of the Black Gospel Music Restoration Project at Baylor University, brings this vivid, vital story to life. He explains why black sacred music helped foster community within the civil rights movement and attract new adherents; shows how Martin Luther King Jr. and other leaders used music to underscore and support their message; and reveals how the songs themselves traveled and changed as the fight for freedom for African Americans continued. Darden makes an unassailable case for the importance of black sacred music not only to the civil rights era but also to present-day struggles in and beyond the United States. Taking us from the Deep South to Chicago and on to the nation’s capital, Darden’s grittily detailed, lively telling is peppered throughout with the words of those who were there, famous and forgotten alike: activists such as Rep. John Lewis, the Reverend Ralph Abernathy, and Willie Bolden, as well as musical virtuosos such as Harry Belafonte, Duke Ellington, and The Mighty Wonders. Expertly assembled from published and unpublished writing, oral histories, and rare recordings, this is the history of the soundtrack that fueled the long march toward freedom and equality for the black community in the United States and that continues to inspire and uplift people all over the world.
