    The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, a global movement with more than half a million Ghanaian members, runs an extensive network of English-language schools and medical facilities in Ghana today. Founded in South Asia in 1889, the Ahmadiyya arrived in Ghana when a small coastal community invited an Ahmadiyya missionary to visit in 1921. Why did this invitation arise and how did the Ahmadiyya become such a vibrant religious community? John H. Hanson places the early history of the Ahmadiyya into the religious and cultural transformations of the British Gold Coast (colonial Ghana). Beginning with accounts of the visions of the African Methodist Binyameen Sam, Hanson reveals how Sam established a Muslim community in a coastal context dominated by indigenous expressions and Christian missions. Hanson also illuminates the Islamic networks that connected this small Muslim community through London to British India. African Ahmadi Muslims, working with a few South Asian Ahmadiyya missionaries, spread the Ahmadiyya's theological message and educational ethos with zeal and effectiveness. This is a global story of religious engagement, modernity, and cultural transformations arising at the dawn of independence.

  • Patriot Pirates - The Privateer War for Freedom and Fortune in the American Revolution - cover

    Patriot Pirates - The Privateer...

    They were legalized pirates empowered by the Continental Congress to raid and plunder, at their own considerable risk, as much enemy trade as they could successfully haul back to America's shores. They played a decisive role in America's struggle for independence and later turned their seafaring talents to the slave trade, revealing the conflict between enterprise and morality central to American history. 
     
    In Patriot Pirates, Robert H. Patton, the grandson of the battlefield genius of World War II, writes how privateering engaged all levels of Revolutionary life, from the dockyards to the assembly halls; how it gave rise to wild speculation in purchased shares in privateer ventures, enabling sailors to make more money in a month than they might earn in a year; and how privateering created fortunes that survive to this day. 
     
    As one naval historian wrote, "The great battles of the American Revolution were fought on land, but independence was won at sea." 
     
    Patton writes how, in addition to its strategic and economic importance, privateering played a large political role in the Revolution. For example, Benjamin Franklin, from his diplomatic post in Paris, secretly encouraged skippers to sell their captured goods in French ports—a calculated effort on Franklin's part to break the neutrality agreements between France and Britain, bring the two countries to blows, and take the pressure off American fighters.  
     
    This is a sweeping tale of maritime rebel-entrepreneurs bent on personal profit and national freedom.

    A Two Hour Koran

    A TWO-HOUR KORAN is condensed and abridged, covering the most important elements of the Koran that concern non-Muslims. Standard Korans are widely known to be difficult to comprehend but this version allows the reader to understand the basics of the Koran in the time it takes to watch a professional sports event. 
    The standard Korans are arranged by length of chapter, not in chronological order and do not include the life of Mohammed for context. These Korans have no time reference, no Mohammed and no story. Therefore, they are difficult to understand. 
    A TWO-HOUR KORAN weaves Mohammed’s life back into the Koran so the verses have context and meaning. Everything is in time order, and the original story has been restored, providing the reader with a taste of Islam. This Koran concentrates on the political verses, or those verses that impact the non-Muslim. 
    Once you have read A TWO-HOUR KORAN, you can pick up any Koran in the bookstore and make sense of what you are reading.
