The journey of Christianity in Latin America from its inception to modern times has been an interesting phenomenon to observe. Todd Hartch’s book‚ The Rebirth of Latin American Christianity‚ outlines this rebirth and attempts to explain the causal mechanisms behind the event.

After reading “Irish Nationalism in America: The politics of exile‚ 1798-1998” by David Brundage the topic that really interested me was the lack of voicing of stances from the Irish Americans on the American slavery ideals.

Once I did my research I learned a lot about South America that I didn’t even know about. So many interesting

The short story that I enjoyed the most is the one titled Fear & Loathing in America. The short story was written by Hunter S Thompson. The short story is about the September 11 attacks on the twin towers and the Pentagon which were destroyed by passenger aeroplanes.

Book Review: A History of Women in America From the beginning of time‚ women have subtly shaped the history of the human race. Just by operating under social normality or defying it‚ a woman can cause a movement. In Carol Hymowitz and Michaele Weissman’s book‚ A History of Women in America‚ they focus on the more modern changes women have had on history rather than focusing more on the impact women had on the foundation of the United States. While men carried out much of the remembered history

think of poverty in America what is the image that comes to mind? An old dilapidated shack in southern Alabama? or a rat infested tenement house in New York City?
