	COX, ANNA-LISA. A Stronger Kinship: One Town's Extraordinary Story Of Hope And Faith. University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln: 2007. Softcover. Brand new book. In the heartland of the United States 150 years ago, where racism and hatred were common, a community decided there could be a different America. Here schools and churches were completely integrated, blacks and whites intermarried, and power and wealth were shared by both races. But for this to happen, the town's citizens had to keep secrets, break the laws of the world outside, and sweep aside fear and embrace hope. In a historical-detective feat, Anna-Lisa Cox uncovers the heartening story of this community that took the road untaken. Beginning in the 1860s, the people of Covert, Michigan, attempted to do what then seemed impossible: love one's neighborÑregardless of skin colorÑas oneself. Drawing on diaries, oral histories, and contemporary records, Cox gives us intimate glimpses of Covert's people, from William Conner, the Civil War veteran who went on to become Michigan's first black justice of the peace, to Elizabeth Gillard, who, shipwrecked and washed onto Covert's shores, ultimately came to love the unusual community she would call home. In bringing these and other stories of this small town to light, Cox presents a vision of what our nation might have been, and could be. Anna-Lisa Cox is the recipient of numerous awards for her research, including a National Endowment for the Humanities Younger Scholars Award, a Gilder Lehrman Fellowship, and a Pew Younger Scholars Fellowship. Readers of A Stronger Kinship will enjoy its prose, admire its characters, and very likely agree with Cox that the history of this small Michigan town teaches us about hope and the possibility for racial reconciliation in our own time.ÑFrank Towers, Chicago Tribune An inspirational story of tolerance and decency.ÑDiane Robert, Atlanta Journal-Constitution A gladdening, unsentimental chronicle of a Midwestern town that practiced racial equality against all late 19th-century odds.ÑKirkus Reviews A wonderful book. . . . Stories like this need to get around sooner than later. They are what will save this world.ÑPete Seeger This is a revealing look at a small town whose accomplishments have been virtually forgotten.ÑBooklist Books about race in America are often disturbing and sometimes downright searing. Still, so many exist that they sometimes tend to blend together, canceling one another out. A Stronger Kinship is such an unusual book about race in America that it is unlikely to blend with anything else.ÑSteve Weinberg, Dallas Morning News Cox's optimism is infectious, and her recovery of Covert's nearly lost history admirable.ÑPublishers Weekly Most of the book deals with the background of the families who settled in Covert, both black and white, and Cox offers solid details. Their history is even more rare than the wake-robin and needs no embellishment. The story of Covert proves that not all tales of successful race relations in America have to be written as fiction.ÑGreg Langley, The Advocate ¶ 296 pages.

The prestige of the Enlightenment has decline in recent years. Many consider its thinking abstract, its art and poetry uninspiring, and the assertion that it introduced a new age of freedom and progress after centuries of darkness and superstition presumptuous.

It included rationalist as well as antirationalist tendencies, a critique of traditional morality and religion as well as an attempt to establish them on new foundations, even the beginning of a moral renewal and a spiritual renewal. includes an Index. ¶ 397 pages.

Hardcover with dustjacket. Very good condition. This striking study of America's battles over what we can decently say and do in publlic traces how and why principled debate about the character of our common world has been displaced by a new kind of public noise.

Harvard University Press, Cambridge: 1976. Hardcover with dustjacket. Good condition.

Harvard University Press, Cambridge: 1976. Hardcover with dustjacket. Good condition. Conducted during the peaceful interlude of the early 1970s, this national audit of the consumption of culture and communications raises basic questions for Israel and, more generally, for the making of cultural policy in new and small nations.
