The Myth of American Religious Freedom

In the battles over religion and politics in America, both liberals and conservatives often appeal to history. Liberals claim that the Founders separated church and state. But for much of American history, David Sehat writes, Protestant Christianity was intimately intertwined with the state. Yet the past was not the Christian utopia that conservatives imagine either. Instead, a Protestant moral establishment prevailed, using government power to punish free thinkers and religious dissidents. In The Myth of American Religious Freedom, Sehat provides an eye-opening history of religion in public life, overturning our most cherished myths. Originally, the First Amendment applied only to the federal government, which had limited authority. The Protestant moral establishment ruled on the state level. Using moral laws to uphold religious power, religious partisans enforced a moral and religious orthodoxy against Catholics, Jews, Mormons, agnostics, and others. Not until 1940 did the U.S. Supreme Court extend the First Amendment to the states. As the Supreme Court began to dismantle the connections between religion and government, Sehat argues, religious conservatives mobilized to maintain their power and began the culture wars of the last fifty years. To trace the rise and fall of this Protestant establishment, Sehat focuses on a series of dissenters--abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton, socialist Eugene V. Debs, and many others. Shattering myths held by both the left and right, David Sehat forces us to rethink some of our most deeply held beliefs. By showing the bad history used on both sides, he denies partisans a safe refuge with the Founders.

This is Me, Jack Vance

Jack Vance has long been one of the most influential, admired and imitated writers in science fiction and fantasy literature, the award-winning author of such widely acclaimed works as The Dying Earth, the Lyonesse trilogy, the adventures of Cugel the Clever, the Demon Princes series, and many other masterful tales set among the stars, in exotic fantasy realms or on our own Earth. For much of his career, Vance has also been one of the field's most private writers, an author who preferred to let his work speak for him. Now, at last, to coincide with the release of the tribute anthology Songs of the Dying Earth, Jack gives us this intimate and fascinating glimpse into his rich and eventful life, and a valuable insight into how he went about practicing his craft. For fans of the Grand Master's work, these memoirs are something to be treasured.

Menuju Sejarah Sumatra

Antara Indonesia Dan Dunia

Sumatra adalah sebuah pulau yang sangat luas dan belum banyak diteliti, berpenduduk 43 juta jiwa dan terdiri atas berbagai suku bangsa. Selain dari karya besar William Marsden pada 1783, sedikit sekali tulisan serius mengenai sejarah Sumatra, dan sedikit lagi upaya untuk menguraikan sejarah itu sebagai sebuah kesatuan yang utuh. Berkat sumberdayanya yang berlimpah berupa tanah dan mineral, dan penduduknya yang giat bekerja, Sumatra telah berkembang menjadi wilayah perbatasan Kepulauan Nusantara yang makmur. Tetapi penduduk pulau itu, yang sebagian besar tinggal di dataran tinggi dan baru mengenal negara pada abad ke dua puluh, baru dipersatukan dari sisi politik di bawah pemerintah Belanda di Batavia dan pemerintah Indonesia di Jakarta. Orang Sumatra memiliki tradisi menentang kekuasaan terpusat, dan orang Aceh, seperti pada masa penjajahan Belanda, dapat dipertahankan sebagai bagian dari negara Indonesia hanya melalui kekerasan. Buku ini adalah hasil penelitian yang berlangsung emapt puluh tahun lamanya mengenai sejarah Sumatra dari abad ke-16 hingga zaman kini. Sambil mencari pola-pola kesatuan di pulau perbatasan yang luas itu, buku ini memusatkan perhatian pada Aceh, yang tidak saja memiliki sejarah kenegaraan yang paling beragam, tetapi juga kehadiran yang paling penuh gejolak dibandingkan dengan wilayah Sumatra lainnya.
