American Philanthropy at Home and Abroad explores the different ways in which charities, voluntary associations, religious organisations, philanthropic foundations and other non-state actors have engaged with traditions of giving. Using examples from the late eighteenth century to the Cold War, the collection addresses a number of major themes in the history of philanthropy in the United States. These examples include the role of religion, the significance of cultural networks, and the interplay between civil diplomacy and international development, as well as individual case studies that challenge the very notion of philanthropy as a social good. Led by Ben Offiler and Rachel Williams, the authors demonstrate the benefits of embracing a broad definition of philanthropy, examining how American concepts including benevolence and charity have been used and interpreted by different groups and individuals in an effort to shape – and at least nominally to improve – people''s lives both within and beyond the United States.

This revised New Edition features additional stories, a new cover design, and updates on Rachel''s life. Though born in 1965, Rachel''s story could have been set in the 1800s. Wearing long dresses and bonnets and living without electricity, modern medicine, or indoor plumbing, she and her two older brothers were shaped by the extreme religious view of her iron-willed, Vietnam veteran father and malleable mother. The family separated from society and lived in an abandoned house atop a remote hill in Tennessee awaiting the end of the world. At age 16, Rachel was forced to enter the modern world. She struggled to adjust without casting aside the good along with the bad. Eventually she found her way to a full, balanced, and vibrant life. An accomplished storyteller, Rachel takes you on her incredible life journey and shares how she was restored by God''s faithful, loving care.

"In the heat of June in 1943, a wave of destructive and deadly civil unrest took place in the streets of Detroit. The city was under the pressures of both war-time industrial production and the nascent civil rights movement - a powder keg waiting to go off. Thirty-four people were killed, most were Black, and over half were killed by police. Two thousand people were arrested and over 700 required treatment at local hospitals for their injuries. Property damage was estimated to be nearly two million dollars. Composed of first-hand accounts collected by the NAACP just after the skirmish and research drawn from primary and secondary sources, Rachel Williams delivers a graphic re-telling of the violence and racism in the city''s past, combining drawn images, text, and story. The history and impact of these racial rebellions is made clear with Williams'' drawings, and in showing us what happened, she reminds us that many issues - like police brutality, economic disparity, and white supremacy - plague our country to this day"--
