Pentecostalism has grown into a Christian denomination where its beliefs and practices are having mimicking effects on the older and well-established Christian denominations. Prophetism is a strand of Pentecostalism that re-emerges as a response to providing solutions to societal and individual needs. Often, the newer versions promise to provide solutions and answers to phenomena the existing and old prophetic strands could not serve as a panacea. In the quest to find remedies, various practices were engaged to aid in the effective and timely acquisition of solutions to problems.
Of the many Jacobite challenges to the British state in the long eighteenth century, the Jacobite Rising of 1715– 16 (the ’15) arguably posed the most formidable threat to the post-1688 order (Szechi, 2006). This multifaceted event has been studied from the military perspective with a strong emphasis on the decisive battles of Preston and Sheriffmuir (Inglis, 2005; Reid, 2014; and Oates, 2016, 2017) and with analyses offering a comparative perspective with its more famous counterpart: the Jacobite Rising of 1745–46 (Roberts, 2002).

Global Labor Migration presents new multidisciplinary, transregional perspectives on issues surrounding global labor migration. The essays go beyond disciplinary boundaries, with sociologists, ethnographers, legal scholars, and historians contributing research that extends comparison among and within world regions. Looking at migrant workers from the late nineteenth century to the present day, the contributors illustrate the need for broader perspectives that study labor migration over longer timeframes and from wider geographic areas.
