Book Synopsis Captured and Enslaved by : Alaba Ajiye
Download or read book Captured and Enslaved written by Alaba Ajiye and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Okiki was captured, chained, shacked, manacled, and whisked away from his ancestral village on the day one that his life ambition would have been fulfilled. He was cargo to servitude across the Atlantic Ocean. He escaped death by a whisker when he took part in the insurrection that attempted to set slaves free from chains during the perilous middle passage voyage that took him to a sugar plantation in Pernambuco. Soares was one of the slaves that trekked 1,870 kilometers to Calabouco from Pernambuco, both in Brazil, under grueling and callous condition after his masters decided to relocate to a bigger plantation far away from where they were to continue the inglorious trade. Later, he became an inheritance of his new slave master, who took him to Saint Michael, Barbados, in the Caribbean and finally to Charleston, South Carolina, USA, by his master, who appointed him valet and, subsequently, butler. Jackson Fey, a Yoruba slave enjoyed the largesse of freedom when the dastardly act was abolished. He chronicled personal events and happenings around him during his captivity in major slave plantations and documented them in a manuscript, where he described slavery as days of darkness and gloom, days of clouds and of thick darkness, as morning spread upon the mountains. This he also summarized in his native dialect, as Iparun Nla literary means the greatest destruction the world has ever witnessed in Yoruba. Steve McLaren, a Scottish scholar, was privileged to lay hands on the manuscript. He had a personal interaction and shared in the grief and feelings of what enslaved Africans went through, having been unsatisfied with the available materials a popular librarian offered him and the information he gathered personally on plantations. With misty eyes and pangs of horror, he recalled how the entire black African race was almost annihilated by European slave merchants, and Africans had to endured years of contempt and obloquy; some of those acts were rendered in mnemonic interjections captured by his feelings, emotionally delivered from the thought of victims. Albert McLaren carried on with the promise his great-grandfather gave to Jackson Fey, a freed slave, to continue activism against any form of slavery. He chronicled the history of sexual slavery, exposing the technicality of the traffickers ploy, and shared individual experiences of some captors, proffering solutions on how the world may conquer or mitigate sexual slavery and human trafficking. During one of his presentation, Linda Rowenski, sold into slavery by a family friend, gave her livid and loathsome testament in the hand of her ogre exactor, who the arm of the law caught up with in unprecedented vagaries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Slaves, Indian Masters: Slavery, Emancipation, and Citizenship in the Native American South
Download or read book Black Slaveowners written by Larry Koger and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2011-11-18 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Americans, both black and white, believe that slavery was a system maintained by whites to exploit blacks, but this authoritative study reveals the extent to which African Americans played a significant role as slave masters. Examining South Carolina's diverse population of African-American slaveowners, the book demonstrates that free African Americans widely embraced slavery as a viable economic system and that they--like their white counterparts--exploited the labor of slaves on their farms and in their businesses. Drawing on the federal census, wills, mortgage bills of sale, tax returns, and newspaper advertisements, the author reveals the nature of African-American slaveholding, its complexity, and its rationales. He describes how some African-American slave masters had earned their freedom but how many others--primarily mulattoes born of free parents--were unfamiliar with slavery's dehumanization.

Book Synopsis Never Caught by : Erica Armstrong Dunbar
Download or read book Never Caught written by Erica Armstrong Dunbar and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A startling and eye-opening look into America’s First Family, Never Caught is the powerful story about a daring woman of “extraordinary grit” (The Philadelphia Inquirer). When George Washington was elected president, he reluctantly left behind his beloved Mount Vernon to serve in Philadelphia, the temporary seat of the nation’s capital. In setting up his household he brought along nine slaves, including Ona Judge. As the President grew accustomed to Northern ways, there was one change he couldn’t abide: Pennsylvania law required enslaved people be set free after six months of residency in the state. Rather than comply, Washington decided to circumvent the law. Every six months he sent the slaves back down south just as the clock was about to expire. Though Ona Judge lived a life of relative comfort, she was denied freedom. So, when the opportunity presented itself one clear and pleasant spring day in Philadelphia, Judge left everything she knew to escape to New England. Yet freedom would not come without its costs. At just twenty-two-years-old, Ona became the subject of an intense manhunt led by George Washington, who used his political and personal contacts to recapture his property. “A crisp and compulsively readable feat of research and storytelling” (USA TODAY), historian and National Book Award finalist Erica Armstrong Dunbar weaves a powerful tale and offers fascinating new scholarship on how one young woman risked everything to gain freedom from the famous founding father and most powerful man in the United States at the time.
Book Synopsis They Were Her Property by : Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers
Download or read book They Were Her Property written by Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in History A bold and searing investigation into the role of white women in the American slave economy “Compelling.”—Renee Graham, Boston Globe “Stunning.”—Rebecca Onion, Slate “Makes a vital contribution to our understanding of our past and present.”—Parul Sehgal, New York Times Bridging women’s history, the history of the South, and African American history, this book makes a bold argument about the role of white women in American slavery. Historian Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers draws on a variety of sources to show that slave‑owning women were sophisticated economic actors who directly engaged in and benefited from the South’s slave market. Because women typically inherited more slaves than land, enslaved people were often their primary source of wealth. Not only did white women often refuse to cede ownership of their slaves to their husbands, they employed management techniques that were as effective and brutal as those used by slave‑owning men. White women actively participated in the slave market, profited from it, and used it for economic and social empowerment. By examining the economically entangled lives of enslaved people and slave‑owning women, Jones-Rogers presents a narrative that forces us to rethink the economics and social conventions of slaveholding America.

Book Synopsis Slave Owners of West Africa by : Sandra E. Greene
Download or read book Slave Owners of West Africa written by Sandra E. Greene and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-22 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking book, Sandra E. Greene explores the lives of three prominent West African slave owners during the age of abolition. These first-published biographies reveal personal and political accomplishments and concerns, economic interests, religious beliefs, and responses to colonial rule in an attempt to understand why the subjects reacted to the demise of slavery as they did. Greene emphasizes the notion that the decisions made by these individuals were deeply influenced by their personalities, desires to protect their economic and social status, and their insecurities and sympathies for wives, friends, and other associates. Knowing why these individuals and so many others in West Africa made the decisions they did, Greene contends, is critical to understanding how and why the institution of indigenous slavery continues to influence social relations in West Africa to this day.
Book Synopsis Masters of the Big House by : William Kauffman Scarborough
Download or read book Masters of the Big House written by William Kauffman Scarborough and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2006-04-01 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Kauffman Scarborough has produced a work of incomparable scope and depth, offering the challenge to see afresh one of the most powerful groups in American history—the wealthiest southern planters who owned 250 or more slaves in the census years of 1850 and 1860. The identification and tabulation in every slaveholding state of these lords of economic, social, and political influence reveals a highly learned class of men who set the tone for southern society while also involving themselves in the wider world of capitalism. Scarborough examines the demographics of elite families, the educational philosophy and religiosity of the nabobs, gender relations in the Big House, slave management methods, responses to secession, and adjustment to the travails of Reconstruction and an alien postwar world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the book deals with a dark and serious subject - slavery in 1800 AD - it is not all doom and gloom. The story is told from the differing points of view of different sets of people in three different locations: In Louisiana the story is told both from the point of view of a black slave family as well as from the point of view of their masters. In West Africa the narrative follows a black tribal family prior to capture and through to subsequent transportation and enslavement. In Britain the points of view are those of three different types of slave traders and the world in which they live. .

Book Synopsis The Blind African Slave by : Jeffrey Brace
Download or read book The Blind African Slave written by Jeffrey Brace and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2005-02-16 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Blind African Slave recounts the life of Jeffrey Brace (né Boyrereau Brinch), who was born in West Africa around 1742. Captured by slave traders at the age of sixteen, Brace was transported to Barbados, where he experienced the shock and trauma of slave-breaking and was sold to a New England ship captain. After fighting as an enslaved sailor for two years in the Seven Years War, Brace was taken to New Haven, Connecticut, and sold into slavery. After several years in New England, Brace enlisted in the Continental Army in hopes of winning his manumission. After five years of military service, he was honorably discharged and was freed from slavery. As a free man, he chose in 1784 to move to Vermont, the first state to make slavery illegal. There, he met and married an African woman, bought a farm, and raised a family. Although literate, he was blind when he decided to publish his life story, which he narrated to a white antislavery lawyer, Benjamin Prentiss, who published it in 1810. Upon his death in 1827, Brace was a well-respected abolitionist. In this first new edition since 1810, Kari J. Winter provides a historical introduction, annotations, and original documents that verify and supplement our knowledge of Brace's life and times.
Book Synopsis The Slave Master of Trinidad by : Selwyn R. Cudjoe
Download or read book The Slave Master of Trinidad written by Selwyn R. Cudjoe and published by UMass + ORM. This book was released on 2019-08-30 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Hardin Burnley (1780–1850) was the largest slave owner in Trinidad during the nineteenth century. Born in the United States to English parents, he settled on the island in 1802 and became one of its most influential citizens and a prominent agent of the British Empire. A central figure among elite and moneyed transnational slave owners, Burnley moved easily through the Atlantic world of the Caribbean, the United States, Great Britain, and Europe, and counted among his friends Alexis de Tocqueville, British politician Joseph Hume, and prime minister William Gladstone. In this first full-length biography of Burnley, Selwyn R. Cudjoe chronicles the life of Trinidad's "founding father" and sketches the social and cultural milieu in which he lived. Reexamining the decades of transition from slavery to freedom through the lens of Burnley's life, The Slave Master of Trinidad demonstrates that the legacies of slavery persisted in the new post-emancipation society.
Book Synopsis Slavery by Another Name by : Douglas A. Blackmon
Download or read book Slavery by Another Name written by Douglas A. Blackmon and published by Icon Books. This book was released on 2012-10-04 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Pulitzer Prize-winning history of the mistreatment of black Americans. In this 'precise and eloquent work' - as described in its Pulitzer Prize citation - Douglas A. Blackmon brings to light one of the most shameful chapters in American history - an 'Age of Neoslavery' that thrived in the aftermath of the Civil War through the dawn of World War II. Using a vast record of original documents and personal narratives, Blackmon unearths the lost stories of slaves and their descendants who journeyed into freedom after the Emancipation Proclamation and then back into the shadow of involuntary servitude thereafter. By turns moving, sobering and shocking, this unprecedented account reveals these stories, the companies that profited the most from neoslavery, and the insidious legacy of racism that reverberates today.
