Book Synopsis John Jasper, the Unmatched Black Philosopher and Preacher, Annotated by : William Hatcher
Download or read book John Jasper, the Unmatched Black Philosopher and Preacher, Annotated written by William Hatcher and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about an extraordinary black preacher. He began to preach the gospel as a slave in Virginia. About a half of his preaching career was as a slave and about half was as a free man. He had no formal education or seminary training, but was legendary in his time. He often drew large crowds to his meetings of both black and white folk. Governors, judges, legislators, and "learned" white ministers were greatly moved by the power of Jasper's preaching. The Sixth Mount Zion Church in Richmond, Virginia stands to this day as a memorial to John Jasper, and nearby is his grave which is marked by a splendid monument. This book was written by Rev. William E. Hatcher, who heard about Jasper and went to hear him preach out of curiosity. He went back again and again and continued going for twenty years, forging a close friendship with the black preacher. It has been erroneously reported on a liberal state university website that Hatcher only heard Jasper preach one time. There is abundant proof to the contrary. Rev. Hatcher did not at once sit down to write a book about John Jasper; rather this book developed over the years of their friendship and is taken in a great part from Hatcher's journal observations of the friend he so much admired. According to Walter Bowie, Jr., a modern-day Baptist pastor, "The reflections and insights of this book give us a rare view of race relationships in the South both during and after slavery. There is a hint that race relations were not all negative as suggested by much contemporary literature." Although John Jasper was fully capable of speaking standard English, his most poetic and moving orations and sermons were delivered in the old Virginia slave dialect. To have translated these into standard English would have been an injustice to the genius of Jasper, and the beauty and poignancy of the sermons would lose much in the translation. Therefore they have been presented as they were preached. However, the editor, realizing that as time passes this old Virginia dialect is becoming archaic and hard for many, especially those outside the American South, to understand, has made the effort to explain those expressions and dialect which might frustrate the modern reader. Great care has been taken to keep these to a minimum and it is hoped that the annotations add to the understanding and appreciation of the orations and brilliance of John Jasper.

Book Synopsis Black, White, and in Color by : Hortense J. Spillers
Download or read book Black, White, and in Color written by Hortense J. Spillers and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2003-04-28 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black, White, and in Color offers a long-awaited collection of major essays by Hortense Spillers, one of the most influential and inspiring black critics of the past twenty years. Spanning her work from the early 1980s, in which she pioneered a broadly poststructuralist approach to African American literature, and extending through her turn to cultural studies in the 1990s, these essays display her passionate commitment to reading as a fundamentally political act-one pivotal to rewriting the humanist project. Spillers is best known for her race-centered revision of psychoanalytic theory and for her subtle account of the relationships between race and gender. She has also given literary criticism some of its most powerful readings of individual authors, represented here in seminal essays on Ralph Ellison, Gwendolyn Brooks, and William Faulkner. Ultimately, the essays collected in Black, White, and in Color all share Spillers's signature style: heady, eclectic, and astonishingly productive of new ideas. Anyone interested in African American culture and literature will want to read them.
Book Synopsis The Wayward Preacher in the Literature of African American Women by : James Robert Saunders
Download or read book The Wayward Preacher in the Literature of African American Women written by James Robert Saunders and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In African American culture the preacher has traditionally held many roles: minister of faith, orator, politician, idealist, and most importantly, leader. But the preacher was also traditionally male, and in many ways this advanced the perception that African American women were incapable of questioning the authority of black men. Nella Larsen, Zora Neale Hurston, Paule Marshall, Gloria Naylor, and Terry McMillan wrote of flawed African American preachers, empowering their female characters by exposing the notion of the black preacher as beyond reproach. The writings of these five women warn African American women--and society as a whole--of the power of the religious functionaries who insist that the self must be virtually obliterated in order for salvation to be attained.
Book Synopsis Genre and White Supremacy in the Postemancipation United States by : Travis M. Foster
Download or read book Genre and White Supremacy in the Postemancipation United States written by Travis M. Foster and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-11-21 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How are we to comprehend, diagnose, and counter a system of racist subjugation so ordinary it has become utterly asymptomatic? Challenging the prevailing literary critical inclination toward what makes texts exceptional or distinctive, Genre and White Supremacy in the Postemancipation United States underscores the urgent importance of genre for tracking conventionality as it enters into, constitutes, and reproduces ordinary life. In the wake of emancipation's failed promise, two developments unfolded: white supremacy amassed new mechanisms and procedures for reproducing racial hierarchy; and black freedom developed new practices for collective expression and experimentation. This new racial ordinary came into being through new literary and cultural genres—including campus novels, the Ladies' Home Journal, Civil War elegies, and gospel sermons. Through the postemancipation interplay between aesthetic conventions and social norms, genre became a major influence in how Americans understood their social and political affiliations, their citizenship, and their race. Travis M. Foster traces this thick history through four decades following the Civil War, equipping us to understand ordinary practices of resistance more fully and to resist ordinary procedures of subjugation more effectively. In the process, he provides a model for how the study of popular genre can reinvigorate our methods for historicizing the everyday.

Download or read book It Ain't But One written by Jasper W Williams and published by . This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up in the shadow of his namesake, Rev. Jasper Williams Sr., young Jasper had big shoes to fill. He did so for the first time at the age of 7, preaching a sermon and feeling the exhilaration of God's call on his life and "the realization that I could be the man my Daddy had repeatedly told me I would be when I grew up... just like him!" Now, nearly 70 years later, Williams looks back on his life and ministry, recounting the challenges of taking the reins of leadership at Salem Bible Church at the tender age of 20, growing and shepherding the congregation and rising in leadership and influence in the Atlanta community and across the country. Recent years have seen Williams emerge as a statesman in the African American community, speaking boldly and advocating for the restoration of the black family. Readers will be challenged and inspired as Williams offers insights gained from decades of faithful service. With transparency and humor, Williams recalls the perils and loneliness of ministry, as well as the sheer joy of preaching--something that has earned him the title "Prince of Preachers."
