Download or read book Born a Slave written by David W. Jackson and published by Orderly Pack Rat the. This book was released on 2015-04-26 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the close of the Civil War in 1865 all American slaves became free citizens. Suddenly a new life dawned for them and their descendants. Arthur Jackson, a slave born in 1856 in Kanawha County, Virginia, was nine-years-old when he and his family were emancipated in Franklin County, Missouri. He took the surname of his master, Richard Ludlow Jackson, Sr., within whose household he was born and lived intermittently until adulthood. Eventually Arthur met Ida May Anderson, a white woman, and they raised a family together. Their six children passed for white and Arthur's African American heritage became a family secret and was eventually forgotten. During the following century, five generations of Arthur and Ida's descendants lived as white Americans. Thirty years of genealogical research by one of their great-great-grandsons, the author, revealed the secret that Arthur was born a slave, that he and Ida were a biracial couple, and that their children were of mixed racial heritage. Born a Slave: Rediscovering Arthur Jackson's African-American Heritage explores this man's birth, childhood, life as a freedman, his ancestry, and his master's family. It also calls all Americans-regardless of apparent race or ethnicity-to abandon preconceptions and explore their every ancestor objectively and with an open mind . . . especially if they may have been a slaveholder, or if they were born a slave.

Book Synopsis Getting Something to Eat in Jackson by : Joseph C. Ewoodzie Jr.
Download or read book Getting Something to Eat in Jackson written by Joseph C. Ewoodzie Jr. and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Beard Foundation Book Award Nominee • Winner of the Ida B. Wells-Barnett Book Award, Association of Black Sociologists • Winner of the C. Wright Mills Award, the Society for the Study of Social Problems A vivid portrait of African American life in today’s urban South that uses food to explore the complex interactions of race and class Getting Something to Eat in Jackson uses food—what people eat and how—to explore the interaction of race and class in the lives of African Americans in the contemporary urban South. Joseph Ewoodzie Jr. examines how “foodways”—food availability, choice, and consumption—vary greatly between classes of African Americans in Jackson, Mississippi, and how this reflects and shapes their very different experiences of a shared racial identity. Ewoodzie spent more than a year following a group of socioeconomically diverse African Americans—from upper-middle-class patrons of the city’s fine-dining restaurants to men experiencing homelessness who must organize their days around the schedules of soup kitchens. Ewoodzie goes food shopping, cooks, and eats with a young mother living in poverty and a grandmother working two jobs. He works in a Black-owned BBQ restaurant, and he meets a man who decides to become a vegan for health reasons but who must drive across town to get tofu and quinoa. Ewoodzie also learns about how soul food is changing and why it is no longer a staple survival food. Throughout, he shows how food choices influence, and are influenced by, the racial and class identities of Black Jacksonians. By tracing these contemporary African American foodways, Getting Something to Eat in Jackson offers new insights into the lives of Black Southerners and helps challenge the persistent homogenization of blackness in American life.

Book Synopsis Michael Jackson and the Quandary of a Black Identity by : Sherrow O. Pinder
Download or read book Michael Jackson and the Quandary of a Black Identity written by Sherrow O. Pinder and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2021-08-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Michael Jackson and the Quandary of a Black Identity, Sherrow O. Pinder explores the ways in which the late singer's racial identification process problematizes conceptualizations of race and the presentation of blackness that reduces blacks to a bodily mark. Pinder is particularly interested in how Michael Jackson simultaneously performs his racial identity and posits it against strict binary racial definitions, neither black nor white. While Jackson's self-fashioning deconstructs and challenges the corporeal notions of "natural bodies" and fixed identities, negative readings of the King of Pop fuel epithets such as "weird" or "freak," subjecting him to a form of antagonism that denies the black body its self-determination. Thus, for Jackson, racial identification becomes a deeply ambivalent process, which leads to the fragmentation of his identity into plural identities. Pinder shows how Jackson as a racialized subject is discursively confined to a "third space," a liminal space of ambivalence.
