Book Synopsis The New Negro in the Old South by : Gabriel A. Briggs
Download or read book The New Negro in the Old South written by Gabriel A. Briggs and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-13 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Standard narratives of early twentieth-century African American history credit the Great Migration of southern blacks to northern metropolises for the emergence of the New Negro, an educated, upwardly mobile sophisticate very different from his forebears. Yet this conventional history overlooks the cultural accomplishments of an earlier generation, in the black communities that flourished within southern cities immediately after Reconstruction. In this groundbreaking historical study, Gabriel A. Briggs makes the compelling case that the New Negro first emerged long before the Great Migration to the North. The New Negro in the Old South reconstructs the vibrant black community that developed in Nashville after the Civil War, demonstrating how it played a pivotal role in shaping the economic, intellectual, social, and political lives of African Americans in subsequent decades. Drawing from extensive archival research, Briggs investigates what made Nashville so unique and reveals how it served as a formative environment for major black intellectuals like Sutton Griggs and W.E.B. Du Bois. The New Negro in the Old South makes the past come alive as it vividly recounts little-remembered episodes in black history, from the migration of Colored Infantry veterans in the late 1860s to the Fisk University protests of 1925. Along the way, it gives readers a new appreciation for the sophistication, determination, and bravery of African Americans in the decades between the Civil War and the Harlem Renaissance.

Book Synopsis Life and Labor in the Old South by : Ulrich Bonnell Phillips
Download or read book Life and Labor in the Old South written by Ulrich Bonnell Phillips and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrated as a classic work of historical literature, Life and Labor in the Old South (1929) represents the culmination of three decades of research and reflection on the social and economic systems of the antebellum South by the leading historian of African American slavery of the first half of the twentieth century. Life and Labor in the Old South represents both the strengths and weaknesses of first-rate scholarship by whites on the topics of antebellum African and African American slavery during the Jim Crow era. Deeply researched in primary sources, carefully focused on social and economic facets of slavery, and gracefully written, Phillips's germinal account set the standard for his contemporaries. Simultaneously the work is rife with elitism, racism, and reliance on sources that privilege white perspectives. Such contradictions between its content and viewpoint have earned Life and Labor in the Old South its place at the forefront of texts in the historiography of the antebellum South and African American slavery. The book is both a work of high scholarship and an example of the power of unexamined prejudices to affect such a work.

Book Synopsis The Negro of the Old South by : Susan Bradford Eppes
Download or read book The Negro of the Old South written by Susan Bradford Eppes and published by . This book was released on 1925 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Negro of the Old South, written by a Mrs. Nicholas Ware Eppes, and published in 1925, is a book whose only relevance lies in its bias. The author explains her authority on the subject of slavery by stating that she is, "one of the lauded, much abused, much despised, and much ridiculed classes -- one of the blue-booded children of the Old South, surrounded for many years by the slaves who were as truly ours as anything else we owned and served by them in many ways, 'sence freedom drapped'." Such is the tone throughout the whole of this favorable recollection. Cooks are referred to as 'pets, ' the Klu Klux Klan is described as 'the great third kingdom, ' and the crime of lynching was never known by the African American in the south "until these apostles of negro equality (carpet-baggers) put it in the minds of the newly made citizens." The only historical analysis of slavery is given to suggest that the climate, the 'mother country' (Britain), the "New Englanders who sought a market for their wares," and others had forced the institution of slavery upon the South. -- Melissa Wilks and Alexander Wray-Kerr (Monticello High School Scholars Program, Spring 2003)
Book Synopsis Defending Slavery: Proslavery Thought in the Old South by : Paul Finkelman
Download or read book Defending Slavery: Proslavery Thought in the Old South written by Paul Finkelman and published by Macmillan Higher Education. This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of Defending Slavery: Proslavery Thought in the Old South introduces the vast number of ways in which educated Southern thinkers and theorists defended the institution of slavery. This book collects and explores the elaborately detailed pro-slavery arguments rooted in religion, law, politics, science, and economics. In his introduction, now updated to include the relationship between early Christianity and slavery, Paul Finkelman discusses how early world societies legitimized slavery, the distinction between Northern and Southern ideas about slavery, and how the ideology of the American Revolution prompted the need for a defense of slavery. The rich collection of documents allows for a thorough examination of these ideas through poems, images, speeches, correspondences, and essays. This edition features two new documents that highlight women’s voices and the role of women in the movement to defend slavery plus a visual document that demonstrates how the notion of black inferiority and separateness was defended through the science of the time. Document headnotes and a chronology, plus updated questions for consideration and selected bibliography help students engage with the documents to understand the minds of those who defended slavery. Available in print and e-book formats.
Book Synopsis Black Masters: A Free Family of Color in the Old South by : Michael P. Johnson

This book was released on 1986-04-17 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A remarkably fine work of creative scholarship." —C. Vann Woodward, New York Review of Books In 1860, when four million African Americans were enslaved, a quarter-million others, including William Ellison, were "free people of color." But Ellison was remarkable. Born a slave, his experience spans the history of the South from George Washington and Thomas Jefferson to Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis. In a day when most Americans, black and white, worked the soil, barely scraping together a living, Ellison was a cotton-gin maker—a master craftsman. When nearly all free blacks were destitute, Ellison was wealthy and well-established. He owned a large plantation and more slaves than all but the richest white planters. While Ellison was exceptional in many respects, the story of his life sheds light on the collective experience of African Americans in the antebellum South to whom he remained bound by race. His family history emphasizes the fine line separating freedom from slavery.

Book Synopsis The Negro in the South, His Economic Progress in Relation to His Moral and Religious Development by : Booker T. Washington
Download or read book The Negro in the South, His Economic Progress in Relation to His Moral and Religious Development written by Booker T. Washington and published by . This book was released on 1907 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four lectures given as part of an endowed Lectureship on Christian Sociology at Philadelphia Divinity School. Washington's two lectures concern the economic development of African Americans both during and after slavery. He argues that slavery enabled the freedman to become a success, and that economic and industrial development improves both the moral and the religious life of African Americans. Du Bois argues that slavery hindered the South in its industrial development, leaving an agriculture-based economy out of step with the world around it. His second lecture argues that Southern white religion has been broadly unjust to slaves and former slaves, and how in so doing it has betrayed its own hypocrisy.

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.

Book Synopsis Souvenirs of the Old South by : Rebecca C. McIntyre
Download or read book Souvenirs of the Old South written by Rebecca C. McIntyre and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2016-10-05 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Written in a clear, accessible, and lively style, Souvenirs of the Old South will be the foundational work for subsequent scholars and readers interested in tourism in the New South."--W. Fitzhugh Brundage, author of The Southern Past: A Clash of Race and Memory "This study of southern images offers readers a glimpse of how history, culture, race, and class came together in the tourist imagination. If the South emerged from the Civil War a distinctive place, Rebecca McIntyre would remind us that’s because distinctiveness sells."--Richard Starnes, author of Creating the Land of the Sky: Tourism and Society in Western North Carolina Less than a decade after the conclusion of the Civil War, northern promoters began pushing images of a mythic South to boost tourism. By creating a hierarchical relationship based on region and race in which northerners were always superior, promoters saw tourist dollars begin flowing southward, but this cultural construction was damaging to southerners, particularly African Americans. Rebecca McIntyre focuses on the years between 1870 and 1920, a period framed by the war and the growth of automobile tourism. These years were critical in the creation of the South’s modern identity, and she reveals that tourism images created by northerners for northerners had as much effect on making the South "southern" as did the most ardent proponents of the Lost Cause. She also demonstrates how northern tourism contributed to the worsening of race relations in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
