A Declaration of Interdependence: Peace, Social Justice, and the “Spirit Wrestlers” John Elfers Sofia University Palo Alto, CA, USA The struggle between the Doukhobors, a nonviolent society committed to communal values, and the Canadian Government epitomizes the tension between values of personal rights and independence on the one hand, and social obligation on the other. The immigration of the Doukhobors from Russia to the Canadian prairies in 1899 precipitated a century- long struggle that brings issues of social justice, moral obligation, political authority, and the rule of law into question. The fundamental core of Western democracies, founded on the sanctity of individual rights and equal opportunity, loses its potency in a community that holds to the primacy of interdependence and an ethic of caring.

    Daily Inspirational Quotes for Sustainable Living by www.globalstewards.org Happiness's fundamental meaning is a free breathing of the soul. Helen Keller ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Whilst everything around me is ever changing, ever dying, there is underlying all that change a living power that is changeless, that holds all together, that creates, dissolves and recreates. That informing power or spirit is God....And is this power benevolent or malevolent? I see it as purely benevolent. For I can see that in the midst of death life persists, in the midst of untruth truth persists, in the midst of darkness light persists. Hence I gather that God is Life, Truth, Light. He is Love. He is the supreme Good.

  • S&Ialism and Anarchism
    S&IALISMAND ANARCHISM BY WILL DURANT Price Fifteen Cent8 New York Albert and Charlea Boni 96 Fifth Avenue / 1914 . Copyright 1914 by Will Dnrant SOCIALISM AND ANARCHISM. It is almost two years now since Lola Ridge, on behalf of the executive board of the Francisco Ferrer Association, honored me with the proposal that I become the teacher of the Ferrer Modern School. I remember very distinctly part of the con- versation we had. “But you are almost all Anarchists here,” I said ; “are you sure that you want a Socialist to come and take charge of your school?” I do not remember that Miss Ridge was entirely sure of this. But she was quite confident on another point. “I’m sure,” she said, her eyes all aglow with her own firm faith, “that when you get to know more about anarchism you will become an anarchist too.” It was then less than a year since I had escaped from a Catholic seminary (I had almost said cemetery,- which would have been a very tri- vial error) ; and I could forgive Miss Ridge for im- plying that my ignorance of anarchism was quite encyclopedic. Touched to the marrow of my ego- tism, I resolved that so far as my work should per- mit I would study anarchism and anarchists until blue in the face. I proceeded at once to make the acquaintance of anarchist theory from Zeno to Kro- potkin, and revelled for quite a year in the exhila- 1 .__ .- rating iconoclasm of Stirner and Nietzsche, Tolstoi and Whitman. Incidentally, I made the acquain- tance of anarchist men and women, and found them, for the most part, actuated by such honest revolu- tionary ardor as went straight to my heart (not to my head).

  • Sam Dolgoff Papers
    THE SAM DOLGOFF COLLECTION Papers, 1907-1969 (Predominantly, 1922-1935) 1.5 linear feet Accession Number 568 L.C. Number The papers of Sam Dolgoff were placed in the Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs in September and October of 1972 by Mr. Dolgoff and opened for research in July of 1983. Born in 1902, Sam Dolgoff began working at an early age as an itinerant laborer in lumbercamps, steel mills and construction projects. He was involved in radical movements since the age of 15 when he joined the Socialist Party youth organization, later turning toward anarchism. His view of anarchism as a constructive social movement was influenced by his mentor Gregori Maximoff, a Russian anarchist. Using the pen name Sam Weiner, Dolgoff wrote widely in radical and anarchist periodicals. Two of his pamphlets are recognized as important critiques of American labor: Ethics and American Unionism (1958) and The Labor Party Illusion (1961). They are not included in this collection. He also served as a correspondent for a number of radical papers in Europe. The papers of Sam Dolgoff which consist of pamphlets on anarchism, socialism and communism reflect his interest in and involvement with radical unionism and politics. Important subjects covered in the collection are: Industrial Workers of the World Radical unionism Communism An index to subjects will be found on p. 5 Sam Dolgoff - 2 - Contents 3 manuscript boxes Series I, Pamphlets, 1907-1969; Boxes 1-3: Pamphlets and booklets on communism, socialism, and radical unions. Non-manuscript materials One copy of the newspaper The Industrial Worker received with the collection was removed and is available in the Archives Library.

  • HISTORY Copy.Pages
    ! ! ! QUOTES ON HISTORY ! ! Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with blood from people killing stealing, shouting and doing the things historians usually record, while on the banks, unnoticed people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is the story of what happened on the banks. Historians are pessimists because they ignore the banks for the river. ! --Will Durant The historian will tell you what happened. The novelist will tell you what it felt like. ! —E. L. Doctorow History gives us the facts, sort of, but from literary works we can learn what the past smelled like, sounded like, and felt like, the forgotten gritty details of a lost era. Literature brings us as close as we can come to reinhabiting the past. By re- claiming this use of literature in the classroom, perhaps we can move away from the political agitation that has been our bread and butter—or porridge and hardtack— for the last 30 years. ! —Scott Herring Great novelists are the true historians of the times in which they live. Stop and think about it for a minute and I’m sure you’ll find that you didn’t get your impres- sions of what life was like here and abroad in the last 300 years from the history books—but from the novels of such literary titans as Hardy, Dostoevsky, Dickens, Sinclair Lewis, Jane Austen, and Tolstoy. Writers like these had a kind of extrasen- sory perception which enabled them to see beneath the surface of the age—and, of course, the genius to bring people and events to life in stories that enthralled read- ers of their own time as well as later generations.

  • “For a World Without Oppressors:” U.S. Anarchism from the Palmer
    “For a World Without Oppressors:” U.S. Anarchism from the Palmer Raids to the Sixties by Andrew Cornell A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Social and Cultural Analysis Program in American Studies New York University January, 2011 _______________________ Andrew Ross © Andrew Cornell All Rights Reserved, 2011 “I am undertaking something which may turn out to be a resume of the English speaking anarchist movement in America and I am appalled at the little I know about it after my twenty years of association with anarchists both here and abroad.” -W.S. Van Valkenburgh, Letter to Agnes Inglis, 1932 “The difficulty in finding perspective is related to the general American lack of a historical consciousness…Many young white activists still act as though they have nothing to learn from their sisters and brothers who struggled before them.” -George Lakey, Strategy for a Living Revolution, 1971 “From the start, anarchism was an open political philosophy, always transforming itself in theory and practice…Yet when people are introduced to anarchism today, that openness, combined with a cultural propensity to forget the past, can make it seem a recent invention—without an elastic tradition, filled with debates, lessons, and experiments to build on.” -Cindy Milstein, Anarchism and Its Aspirations, 2010 “Librarians have an ‘academic’ sense, and can’t bare to throw anything away! Even things they don’t approve of. They acquire a historic sense. At the time a hand-bill may be very ‘bad’! But the following day it becomes ‘historic.’” -Agnes Inglis, Letter to Highlander Folk School, 1944 “To keep on repeating the same attempts without an intelligent appraisal of all the numerous failures in the past is not to uphold the right to experiment, but to insist upon one’s right to escape the hard facts of social struggle into the world of wishful belief.

  • Arnold Toynbee and the Problems of Today Toynbee Lecture, Delivered at the Annual Meeting of the American Historical Association, Denver, January 6, 20171
    Features Conference Reports GHI News ARNOLD TOYNBEE AND THE PROBLEMS OF TODAY TOYNBEE LECTURE, DELIVERED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE AMERICAN HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION, DENVER, JANUARY 6, 20171 Jürgen Osterhammel UNIVERSITY OF KONSTANZ It is one of the greatest possible privileges for a speaker to give a surprise address under nothing but a formal title. In this lecture, gratefully overwhelmed by an award that is much too big for someone who is anything but a “typical” global historian and who represents no particular tendency or school, I am going to take Arnold Toynbee as my guide. The same role might have been played by several others on the list of illustrious recipients of the Toynbee Prize: by Sir Christopher Bayly in whose memory I had the sad privilege to speak in Cambridge last June; by Dipesh Chakrabarty whose turn to issues of climate change will become even more urgent and important in the future; by Ralf Dahrendorf whose books have had an enormous impact on me since my fi rst encounter with them in 1968 and whose lectures I followed at the London School of Economics in 1977; or by Raymond Aron who was one of the most astute observers of the twentieth century. Aron, perhaps even more so than the other scholars and intellectuals men- tioned, was a truly universal mind — in the universe of universalisms the very opposite of Toynbee, though there were certain proximities in their respective comments on the age they lived in. I will be playing, if you will forgive this conceit, Dante to Toynbee’s 1 This lecture was given Virgil leading the way.

Various problems that arise among Muslims about the teachings of the Syariat, some are compliant with the Syariat and some are violate it to the point of cornering Islam in the eyes of other religions. While infact other samawi religions also have syariat teachings that are not much different from the Islamic teachings that we follow. Therefore, this study aims to identify the concept of samawi religious teachings according to Will Durant through his work The Story of Civilization so that the similarities and differences between the religions can be indentified.

Without this movement, it is unlikely that slavery would have been banned in the United States by 1865. The First Emancipation is not only a fascinating but little known part of our nation’s history, but can also be used as a case study to illustrate how firmly entrenched, but immoral practices can be changed over time.
