Book Synopsis Thomas Jefferson and the Fight against Slavery by : Cara Rogers Stevens
Download or read book Thomas Jefferson and the Fight against Slavery written by Cara Rogers Stevens and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2024-01-29 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking work, Cara Rogers Stevens examines the fascinating life of Thomas Jefferson’s book, Notes on the State of Virginia, from its innocuous composition in the early 1780s to its use as a political weapon by both pro- and antislavery forces in the early nineteenth century. Initially written as a brief statistical introduction to Virginia for French readers, Jefferson’s book evolved to become his comprehensive statement on almost all facets of the state’s natural and political realms. As part of an antislavery education strategy, Jefferson also decided to include a treatise on the nature of racial difference, as well as a manifesto on the corrupting power of slavery in a republic and a plan for emancipation and colonization. In consequence, his book—for better or worse—defined the boundaries of future debates over the place of African-descended people in American society. Although historians have rightly criticized Jefferson for his racism and failure to free his own slaves, his antislavery intentions for the Notes have received only cursory notice, partly because the original manuscript was not available for detailed examination until recently. By analyzing Jefferson’s complex revision process, Thomas Jefferson and the Fight against Slavery traces the evolution of Jefferson’s views on race and slavery as he considered how best to persuade younger slaveholders to embrace emancipation. Rogers Stevens then moves beyond Jefferson to examine contemporary responses to the Notes from white and black intellectuals and politicians, concluding with an attempt by Jefferson’s grandson to implement elements of the Notes’s emancipation plan during Virginia’s 1831–1832 slavery debates.

Book Synopsis Italian Americans: Bridges to Italy, Bonds to America by :
Download or read book Italian Americans: Bridges to Italy, Bonds to America written by and published by Teneo Press. This book was released on with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume attesting to the Italian American influence on the United States, nine professors of Italian American studies and a curator of an ethnic museum provide original essays on the Italian American experience, using the theme bridges to Italy and bonds to America. Drawing from a wide variety of primary sources, such as census tracts, local directories, diaries, voting records, newspaper accounts, personal interviews and scholarly and polemical books and articles, the authors show how Italian Americans adapted, through work, prejudice, strife, and advancement, to the social and political life in America while still retaining an element of Italianita. A bibliography of the colonial period reveals how Italians and Italian Americans impacted the creation, exploration, and settlement of America. While many studies are concentrated in the eastern United States, Italian Americans settled early in the west, including Arizona. Their history in Arizona parallels the labor strife, religion, music, and entrepreneurship that engaged their countrymen in the East. Italian Americans responded in a massive way to help their families that were devastated by the earthquake that leveled Messina, Sicily and Reggio, Calabria. A study of a sculptor who settled in Pittsburgh, shows how he produced works depicting, American and Italian themes often on a grand scale suitable for outdoor placement, and mingled with native-born community leaders and clubs and fraternal organizations. Tracing the life of a controversial Brooklyn politician, Francis B. Spinola, the authors show how he was elected to local and state political office and fought in the U. S. Civil War. Italian Americans were key components in the early years of jazz history in the 1920s and 1930s. This study adds some balance to the development of jazz by tracing the bonds that Italian Americans formed with Black musicians and their pioneering use of the guitar and violin. An obvious example of the theme of this book is a study of Italian prisoners of World War II, who were transported to the United States and settled in a camp in Texas. The author shows how they helped farmers by their work and how artists among them helped decorate a local church with paintings and murals. A comparison of the Italian and Mexican immigration to the United States shows the similarity and differences of these two groups over time. An examination of the proposition that Mexicans are like Italians is examined in detail. A bibliographical study of the “southern question” in Italian history shows the explosive forces that erupted during and after Italian unification. Italians and Italian Americans are still debating whether this incorporation of the Italian south into the kingdom of Italy was detrimental to the people who lived there and contributed to the massive emigration that followed. This study is an outgrowth of a desire by scholars to honor the passing of Professor Salvatore Mondello, coauthor of the national bestseller The Italian Americans. One of a few historians of Italian American immigration who appeared on the scene in the late 1950s and early 1960s he approached the subject with enthusiasm, passion, and a relentless search for relevant material marked by digging into primary sources, rooting out individuals who had lived through the immigrant experience and pouring over the contemporary accounts found in newspapers and magazines. Sal was one of the first to see the important link between railroads and Italian American settlements. He saw that the rail lines accelerated the Italians’ movement beyond the large cities in the coastal areas. They used the railroads as the means to establish new lives in many urban and rural communities across the country. In many ways the articles presented in this book reflect the Mondello approach. The authors continue as pioneers by dealing with important topics that have been overlooked, ignored, and/or newly arisen. They add a dimension to Italian immigration which focuses on the interaction of American and immigrant cultures and shows them as much American as Italian, if not more so. Having the advantage of living and teaching in smaller towns, the authors write with conviction and verve. Whether treating subjects old or new, the authors’ writing is clean, fresh, often imaginative and well documented producing a fine example of good scholarship, solid research, clear expository writing, and expert analysis. They move Italian American history beyond the corpus of work which usually includes radicalism, labor strife, crime, religion and the current blossoming of literature and poetry framing Italian American themes. This book will serve to inspire the group of scholars appearing on the scene today to carry on in opening new paths in the Italian American experience. This book will be of interest to scholars and lay people alike. Scholars will find particularly useful the information in the bibliographical articles and the book’s usefulness as a reader in an immigration history or sociology course. The younger scholar is sure to be challenged and possibly richly rewarded. The book’s human interest will appeal to a diverse audience, young and old. Exposed to nine subjects, the general reader is sure to be drawn to one or more of them.
Book Synopsis Voices of Cosmopolitanism in Early American Writing and Culture by : Chiara Cillerai
Download or read book Voices of Cosmopolitanism in Early American Writing and Culture written by Chiara Cillerai and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-04 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that cosmopolitanism was a feature of early American discourses of nation formation and eighteenth-century colonialism. With the analysis of writings by Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Elizabeth Graeme Fergusson, Philip Mazzei, and Olaudah Equiano, the book reassesses the terms in which we understand cosmopolitanism, its relationship with local and transatlantic environments, and the way these representative writers from different segments of colonial society identified themselves and America within the transatlantic context. The book shows that the transnational and universalist appeal of the cosmopolitan not only accompanies empire building and defines a narrative that aligns the cosmopolitan perspective of global understanding and cooperation with western political ideology. The language of the cosmopolitan also forms the basis of a rhetoric that resists imperial expansion and allows writers in a variety of cultural, social, and political margins to find a voice to identify themselves, America, and the transatlantic world they imagine.
Book Synopsis Blurred Nationalities across the North Atlantic by : Luca Codignola
Download or read book Blurred Nationalities across the North Atlantic written by Luca Codignola and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long before the mid-nineteenth century, thousands of people were frequently moving between North America - specifically, the United States and British North America - and Leghorn, Genoa, Naples, Rome, Sicily, Piedmont, Lombardy, Venice, and Trieste. Predominantly traders, sailors, transient workers, Catholic priests, and seminarians, this group relied on the exchange of goods across the Atlantic to solidify transatlantic relations; during this period, stories about the New World passed between travellers through word of mouth and letter writing. Blurred Nationalities across the North Atlantic challenges the idea that national origin - for instance, Italianness - constitutes the only significant feature of a group's identity, revealing instead the multifaceted personalities of the people involved in these exchanges.

Book Synopsis Yours Is a Precious Witness by : Margherita Marchione
Download or read book Yours Is a Precious Witness written by Margherita Marchione and published by Paulist Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mainly using untapped oral histories of Italian Jews and Catholics, this book shows that Catholics in Italy who saved Jews firmly believed they were doing so in consonance with the Pope's wishes, Readers will get to know these courageous individuals through their inspiring memoirs. Yours Is a Precious Witness strives to redraw a common picture of Pius XII. He spoke loudly -- not in words that would have resulted in Nazi retaliations, but in actions that directly saved thousands of Jews, Convents, monasteries and papal buildings in Italy became havens for refugees. Pius XXII did not bow to the Nazis and Fascists. He also did not bow to the pressure of world opinion. He took the more courageous path of direct action. His example inspired Italians to respond with countless acts of individual heroism. The little-known result is that, while 67 percent of European Jews were killed, 85 percent of Italy's Jews were saved. The people who were there -- the people who knew best -- credit Pius XII for this moral victory.
