Here are the frank assessments and intimate insights of a pastor reflecting on the Nazi extermination of the Jews, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the 2001 terrorist attack on America and the collapse of the Twin Towers, the great economic recession of 2008, the Covid-19 pandemic, the retirement of Pope Benedict XVI, and the subsequent conclave that elected him Pontiff. The “pope callejero” recounts these world-changing moments with the candor and compassion that distinguishes him, and offers important messages on major crises confronting us now, including social inequalities, climate change, international war, atomic weapons, racial discrimination, and the battles over social and cultural issues.

Tiwi Story : Turning history downside up
Tiwi people have plenty to be proud of. This little tropical island community has more than its fair share of surprising stories that turn ideas of Australian history upside down. The Tiwi claim the honour of having defeated a global superpower.When the world's most powerful navy attempted to settle and invade the Tiwi Islands in 1824, Tiwi guerrilla warriors fought the British and won.The Tiwi remember the fight and oral histories reveal their tactical brilliance. Later, in 1911, Catholic priest Francis Xavier Gsell styled himself as the 'Bishop with 150 wives'.Gsell said he 'purchased' Tiwi women and 'freed' them from traditional Tiwi marriage, and Tiwi girls grew up into devoted Catholics.But Tiwi women had more power in their marriage negotiations than the missionaries realised.They worked out how to be both Tiwi and Catholic. And it was the missionaries who came around to Tiwi thinking, not the other way around. Then there are stories of the Tiwis' 'number one religion': Aussie Rules Football; the eldest living Tiwi woman, Calista Kantilla, remembers her time growing up in the mission dormitory; and Tiwi Traditional Owner Teddy Portaminni explains the importance of Tiwi history and culture, as something precious, owned by Tiwi and the source of Tiwi strength. Tiwi Story showcases stories of resilience, creativity and survival, as told by the Tiwi people.

The first edition in English of HISTORY AS THE STORY OF LIBERTY appeared in London in 1941.The new Liberty Fund edition includes modest improvements to the translation by Folke Leander and arranged by Claes Ryn.
