Book Synopsis Manhood Enslaved by : Kenneth Edward Marshall
Download or read book Manhood Enslaved written by Kenneth Edward Marshall and published by University Rochester Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manhood Enslaved reconstructs the lives of three male captives to bring greater intellectual and historical clarity to the muted lives of enslaved peoples in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century central New Jersey, where blacks were held in bondage for nearly two centuries. The book contributes to an evolving body of historical scholarship arguing that the lives of bondpeople in America were shaped not only by the powerful forces of racial oppression, but also by their own notions of gender. The book uses previously understudied, white-authored, nineteenth-century literature about central New Jersey slaves as a point of departure. Reading beyond the racist assumptions of the authors, it contends that the precarious day-to-day existence of the three protagonists -- Yombo Melick, Dick Melick, and Quamino Buccau (Smock) -- provides revealing evidence about the various elements of "slave manhood" that gave real meaning to their oppressed lives. Kenneth E. Marshall is Assistant Professor of History at the State University of New York at Oswego.
Download or read book The Slave written by Kate Aaron and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-11-14 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At twenty-seven, Tamelik has been a slave more than half his life, having witnessed his family being murdered in front of him when he was just a child. Naturally submissive, although with a petulant streak, he can't help but fall in love with the master who treats him kindly. Tam's dreams come true when his mistress walks out, leaving her husband behind. For six glorious months, he and his master get to be together. Then Tam is ordered to purchase another slave. He wants to hate Kai for being unruly and ungrateful. For being of the same race as the men who murdered his family. For being his eventual replacement in their master's bed. But it's hard to hate a man who cries himself to sleep, flinches at the slightest touch, and blushes beautifully when he's kissed. Seducing Kai has suddenly become more challenge than chore, and with his master's encouragement, Tam finds himself falling for his new companion. Except... nobody can be in love with two people at once, can they?
Book Synopsis The Slave in the Swamp by : William Tynes Cowa
Download or read book The Slave in the Swamp written by William Tynes Cowa and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 2005. In 19th century plantation literature, the runaway slave in the swamp was a recurring bogey-man whose presence challenged myths of the plantation system. By escaping to the swamps with its wild and threatening connotations, the runaway gained an invisibility that was more threatening to the institution than open rebellion. In part, the proslavery plantation novel served to transform that image of the free slave in the swamp from its untouchable, abstract state to a form that could be possessed, understood, and controlled. Essentially, writers defending the institution would conjure forth the rebellious image in order to dispel it safely.

Instead, she finds herself amidst a wild and lawless culture dominated by gold-fever. Feeling abandoned, Emily is nonetheless determined to find her husband. But when she is met by an old man on the waterfront, her determination turns to cold fear when he says that El Rio de las Calveras, where she may find her husband, translates to the River of Skulls. "A wonderful story of a brave, adventurous woman, her family, and events in the period which spans 1850 to 1906. The author vividly portrays the events and gorgeous scenery of the foothills in which she lives."---C. Leandro, Santa Margarita, CA "River of Skulls unfolds in an engrossing narrative of life in California's Gold Rush era. Careful research on the part of the author is reflected in the story's period setting and dialogue, fulfilling the reader's desire for authenticity. The life of a gutsy woman and her family makes this a page turner, right up to the end!" --M. J. Post, Portland, OR "I thought River of Skulls was a marvelous first novel for the author...a true delight to read." --Dori Hamilton, Beaverton

Book Synopsis Grace & Mercy Brought Us Through by : Phyllis Jean Robinson
Download or read book Grace & Mercy Brought Us Through written by Phyllis Jean Robinson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-01-29 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grace and Mercy Brought Us Through is loosely based on the life of my great-grandfather Rev. Aaron Davis. Rev. Davis was born into slavery and grew up during the Civil War. He received freedom with the Emancipation Proclamation and became a circuit riding minister with the Methodist Church in Mississippi. His life as a preacher is well documented , but little was known about his personal life. My Mother wrote a short story about her grandfather and she stated that his Mother was named Tena and his Father was named Indian Charlie. From this information I filled in the blanks and found a fascinating story that took me from Senegal West Africa, through the Middle Passage, through plantation life in Mississippi, through the life of Native Americans in Mississippi and the Black Seminoles in Florida and on to the life of a Black circuit riding preacher. With every word I wrote I realized that God's Grace and Mercy really did bring us through and made us strong people.
Book Synopsis People of the Underground Railroad by : Tom Calarco
Download or read book People of the Underground Railroad written by Tom Calarco and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2008-09-30 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Underground Railroad was perhaps the best example in U.S. history of blacks and whites working together for the common good. People of the Underground Railroad is the largest in-depth collection of profiles of those individuals involved in the spiriting of black slaves to freedom in the northern states and Canada beginning around 1800 and lasting to the early Civil War years. One hundred entries introduce people who had a significant role in the rescuing, harboring, or conducting of the fugitives—from abolitionists, evangelical ministers, Quakers, philanthropists, lawyers, judges, physicians, journalists, educators, to novelists, feminists, and barbers—as well as notable runaways. The selections are geographically representational of the broad railroad network. There is renewed interest in the Underground Railroad, exemplified by the new National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati and energized scholarly inquiry. People of the Underground Railroad presents authoritative information gathered from the latest research and established sources, many of them from period publications. Designed for student research and general browsing, in-depth essay entries include further reading. Numerous sidebars complement the entries. A timeline, illustrations, and map help put the profiles into context.
Book Synopsis Did the Old Testament Endorse Slavery? by : Joshua Aaron Bowen
Download or read book Did the Old Testament Endorse Slavery? written by Joshua Aaron Bowen and published by Digital Hammurabi. This book was released on 2023-08-05 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The God of the Old Testament commanded and endorsed many practices that we find morally reprehensible today. High on the list was the institution of slavery, which features prominently in several sections of the Hebrew Bible. Fathers could sell their daughters into slavery, masters could beat their slaves, creditors could carry off children for failure to repay a debt, and foreigners could be kept for life, passed down as inherited property. How are we to make sense of all of this from our modern point of view? Atheists and skeptics will often say that the God of the Old Testament was a moral monster for endorsing such atrocities. Christians will often respond that the slavery in the Hebrew Bible wasn’t as bad as we think, and was more like having a job or owning a credit card. While both sides of this debate are sincere in their positions, neither are ultimately correct. Our conclusions must derive from a thorough understanding of both the Old Testament and ancient Near Eastern contexts. This extensively revised and expanded second edition includes a wealth of information and analysis, including three additional chapters and two new appendices. Dr. Bowen thoroughly explores law collections of the ancient Near East, asking why they matter, and how they influence our understanding of slavery in the Old Testament. A comparative analysis of the legal provisions made for the treatment of slaves in the ancient world sheds extensive light on how slavery in the Old Testament should be viewed in relation to other ancient cultures, and an entire chapter explores biblical slavery after the Old Testament, through the New Testament, early church, and down to the antebellum south. This book will: Provide a detailed overview of slavery laws and practices in the Old Testament and the ancient Near East. Examine the significant – and highly controversial – passages in the Hebrew Bible that deal with slavery, including laws about beating your slave, taking foreign chattel slaves, and what to do if a slave runs away from their master. Answer the most challenging questions about slavery in the Old Testament, including, “Could you beat your slave within an inch of their life and get away with it?”, “Were slaves just property that had no human rights?”, and “Did the Old Testament really endorse slavery?” Consider how the biblical treatment of slaves changed from the Old to New Testament, and whether Old Testament slavery was substantially different to slavery in the American antebellum south.
