Download or read book Ida May written by Mary Hayden Green Pike and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2017-06-23 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sentimental antislavery novel Ida May appeared so like its predecessor in the genre, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, that for the month of November 1854, reviewers looked for Harriet Beecher Stowe’s hand in the narrative. Ida May explores the “possibility” of white slavery from the safety of an exciting, romantic narrative: Ida is kidnapped on her fifth birthday from her white middle-class family in Pennsylvania, stained brown, and sold into slavery in the South. Traumatic amnesia brought about by a severe beating keeps her from knowing who she really is, until after five years in slavery her identity is recovered in a dramatic flash of recognition. To the abolitionists of the period, fictional narratives of white enslaved children offered a crucial possibility: to unsettle the legitimacy of a race-based system of enslavement. The historical appendices to this Broadview Edition provide context for the novel’s reception, Pike’s racial politics, and the “problem” of white slavery in nineteenth-century abolitionist writing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHO TOOK THE G OUT OF GLADEMORE Who Took the G Out of Glademore is a story that encompasses family; and all its conflict, a grandmother that dabbles occasionally in the Gifts, the intimacy of first love and the trials the close-knit families in a rural town endure to survive. The story takes place in the fictional town of Glademore, Alabama during the late 1950s segregated south. Dramatically, we are taken through and become a part of the heroine, Honey Halls journey, from an inexperienced young girl to womanhood. Along the way, she learns the value of true friendship, a friendship that carries heavy-laden conflicts on her heart. She is there for her best friend, Cora Ann, who is easily persuaded by an unscrupulous, bootleg selling boyfriend; his friend who is determined to be more than a yes-man; and the notoriety of Joe Boy, our protagonist, whose hard-knock experiences in life make him the man he is, a man long before his time. We share the unpredictability of love, the boundaries Honey is willing to cross in a controversial relationship and the vagaries of human nature. You just dont know Honey. I love Joe Boy. You dont know bout love yet, but when you find out, you gonna know its misry, pain, beatins, murder, robbin folks, drinkin hard whiskey, gamblin, its all them things that you caint walk away from when you loves somebody. - Cora Ann

Book excerpt: College teaching assistant Ruth Tyack is excitedly planning for a new job in Rome when she falls in love with Tom, a poet and guest-lecturer at the college. Despite their intense feelings for each other, Ruth and Tom must part after a single romantic together. Tom is married and has too much respect for his wife and a deep bond with his special needs' son. In Italy, Ruth is caught up in a whirlwind romance with Bruno, the scion of an aristocratic family. Their marriage is happy but brief as Bruno is killed in an auto accident and, in her grief, Ruth turns to his handsome cousin, Peter, who has long been in love with her. But once remarried, Peter demands that Ruth model herself after other wives of wealthy Italians--docile homemakers and mothers who look the other way when their husbands have affairs. As her unhappiness grows, Ruth keeps returning to her feelings for Tom and the love that has never been extinguished. Having kept in touch with him over the years, she's been deeply affected by his personal tragedy and the anguish he faced as his wife suffered a series of breakdowns and was committed to an institution. Should she remain in an increasingly untenable marriage or follow her heart? The rerelease of this bestselling contemporary romance has been updated to include three new chapters which reveal the path she takes.

Download or read book Imitation of Life written by Fannie Hurst and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2004-12-07 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bestseller in 1933, and subsequently adapted into two beloved and controversial films, Imitation of Life has played a vital role in ongoing conversations about race, femininity, and the American Dream. Bea Pullman, a white single mother, and her African American maid, Delilah Johnston, also a single mother, rear their daughters together and become business partners. Combining Bea’s business savvy with Delilah’s irresistible southern recipes, they build an Aunt Jemima-like waffle business and an international restaurant empire. Yet their public success brings them little happiness. Bea is torn between her responsibilities as a businesswoman and those of a mother; Delilah is devastated when her light-skinned daughter, Peola, moves away to pass as white. Imitation of Life struck a chord in the 1930s, and it continues to resonate powerfully today. The author of numerous bestselling novels, a masterful short story writer, and an outspoken social activist, Fannie Hurst was a major celebrity in the first half of the twentieth century. Daniel Itzkovitz’s introduction situates Imitation of Life in its literary, biographical, and cultural contexts, addressing such topics as the debates over the novel and films, the role of Hurst’s one-time secretary and great friend Zora Neale Hurston in the novel’s development, and the response to the novel by Hurst’s friend Langston Hughes, whose one-act satire, “Limitations of Life” (which reverses the races of Bea and Delilah), played to a raucous Harlem crowd in the late 1930s. This edition brings a classic of popular American literature back into print.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1960, this novel tells the moving and thought-provoking story of an extraordinary white man married to a unique black woman. Coming from an ignorant and unambitious farm family, Claude Depler, after several years of unsuccessful job-hunting, finally makes a name and a place for himself as head of a community center in Chicago. Here he meets and marries an outstanding black woman whose name is nationally recognized as an enlightened and vigorous advancer of the American Negro’s interests. The larger part of their married life is spent in Milan, where Claude is now an administrator of a post-war refugee program. Their soul- searching inner struggles and their quest for peace of mind and heart, intimately involved with the problems of racial discrimination, are sensitively developed by the author.

Download or read book Dem Days Was Hell - Recorded Testimonies of Former Slaves from 17 U.S. States written by Work Projects Administration and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2024-01-15 with total page 6014 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'Dem Days Was Hell', the Work Projects Administration presents a collection of recorded testimonies from former slaves in 17 U.S. states. This powerful book provides an intimate look at the experiences of these individuals, shedding light on the harsh realities of slavery and its lasting impact. The testimonies are presented in a straightforward, unfiltered manner, allowing readers to connect with the raw emotions and personal stories of the individuals interviewed. The book serves as a valuable historical document, capturing the voices of those who lived through one of the darkest periods in American history. The Work Projects Administration, a New Deal agency established during the Great Depression, undertook this project as part of its efforts to document the experiences of Americans from all walks of life. Through 'Dem Days Was Hell', the WPA sought to preserve the stories of former slaves and ensure that their voices were not lost to history. The author's dedication to this important task is evident throughout the book, as each testimony is presented with care and respect. I highly recommend 'Dem Days Was Hell' to readers interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the impact of slavery on individuals and communities. This book offers a unique perspective on the institution of slavery and provides valuable insights into the lived experiences of those who endured its horrors.

Book excerpt: A former slave embarks on a hellish journey through the post-Civil War South to reunite with his wife, in this novel by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author. With the news of General Lee’s surrender, Sam, a runaway slave who served in the Union Army, decides to leave his refuge in Philadelphia. He sets out on foot on an almost-suicidal journey through the terrifying, war-torn South to Buford, Mississippi, to find Tilda, the wife he was sold away from fifteen years ago. He knows quite well that his chances are slim . . . Prudence Kent, meanwhile, is heading to Buford on a different mission. The headstrong, wealthy, white war widow is leaving her Boston home to honor her abolitionist father’s dying wish: to open a school for the emancipated slaves . . . And Tilda is headed elsewhere. Her owner, Jim McFarland, is holding her at gunpoint, forcing through the charred remains of his farm and off to Arkansas, in search of a haven that will still respect his entitlements as a slaveowner and Confederate officer . . . An epic, American love story and novel touching on issues we still wrestle with long after official end of the Civil War, Freeman is, as Howard Frank Mosher of the Washington Post writes, “an important addition to the literature of slavery and the Civil War, by a knowledgeable, compassionate and relentlessly truthful writer determined to explore both enslavement in all its malignancy and also what it truly means to be free.” Perfect for fans of Cold Mountain Praise for Freeman “Leonard Pitts has a passion for history and a gift for storytelling. Both shine in this story of love and redemption, which challenges everything we thought we knew about how our nation dealt with its most stubborn stain.” —Gwen Ifill, PBS, author of The Breakthrough “Columnist Leonard Pitts turns out a pretty powerful love story.” —Audie Cornish, All Things Considered “Pulitzer Prize–winning columnist Pitts once again demonstrates his gift for historical fiction . . . . In lyrical prose, Pitts unflinchingly and movingly portrays the period’s cruelties, and triumphs in capturing the spirit of the times through eminently-identifiable lead characters.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the Age of Aquarius, an exciting time to be alive in Chicago during the year 1974. This is a tale about a man society turned its back on simply because he was different. In a moment of passion, he commits murder, then later encounters a lovely woman who recognizes his suffering. Both souls are damaged, but their combined anguish begins their redemption. Although the first chapter is powerful, this is not a slash-and-burn story, but a thrilling love tale that shows what the smallest amount of caring can accomplish. The author does not preach but lets all the stirring characters work their magic. Some Are Destined is a page-turner about a time half the population remembers as if yesterday, so take a deep breath and enter the Devils Den disco bar with care. If you want to experience the 70s in Chicago, meet thought-provoking characters, and read something edgy and unpredictable, this is your chance to be captivated and enjoy a great story.
