Slag (The Walt Mcdonald First-Book Series in Poetry)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description2005 Winner, Walt McDonald First-Book Series in Poetry The poems in Slag begin with everyday experiences?a glance at a construction site or the boredom of waiting for a bus?and then use such unpromising events to explore what Mexican poet Octavio Paz once called `the dark, forgotten miracle of being alive.` Whether meditating on New York?s diamond district or the death of the last person to have known Van Gogh, Mark Sullivan?s lyric consciousness expands from initial points of contact to ever-broadening associations. The result is an evocative, reflective poetry that recognizes in the slow advance of the loris across its Bronx Zoo cage what it means `to love the world or to fear / it.` Sullivan pays special attentionto animals and the natural world, to the visual arts, and to the relentless stimulation of the nation?s largest city, his free verse creating a lucid language where slam dunks and Zeno?s paradoxes coexist, where the stillness… [detailed...]

Description: From the age of three, the very people who were meant to be looking after and protecting Sarah Forsyth were sexually abusing her. Somehow she managed to overcome the hurt and heartbreak of a horrific childhood, and build a new and happy life for herself as a nursery nurse. Then, one day, Sarah spotted a newspaper advert for a job in a creche in Amsterdam. Thrilled by the prospect of a fresh start away from Newcastle and all the memories it held, she eagerly signed up. But within minutes of arriving in Amsterdam her life began to fall apart. There was no creche and no job: Sarah was a victim of sex-trafficking. Fed cocaine and cannabis, and forced at gunpoint to work as a prostitute in the red light district of Amsterdam, Sarah was turned from a young innocent English girl into a desperate and terrified crack whore. Riddled with fear about what her pimps would do to her if they caught her trying to run away, it took Sarah almost a year to find the strength to fight back and escape…. [detailed...]

From Thylias Moss, whose poetry has so stunningly described the joys and struggles of identity in the contemporary world, comes Slave Moth , a book-length poem that follows Varl, a slave in the antebellum South, on her path to freedom.

Full of magical anecdotes and written in riveting verse, it revolves around a series of confrontations that impel Varl towards independence. Replete with fascinating historical detail, this work again shows Moss to be `a visionarystoryteller` (Charles Simic) and confirms her place as a `permanent American poet` (Harold Bloom).

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Twenty-five years after its original publication, Slave Religion remains a classic in the study of African American history and religion. In a new chapter in this anniversary edition, author Albert J. Raboteau reflects upon the origins of the book, the reactions to it over the past twenty-five years, and how he would write it differently today. Using a variety of first and second-hand sources-- some objective, some personal, all riveting-- Raboteau analyzes the transformation of the African religions into evangelical Christianity. He presents the narratives of the slaves themselves, as well as missionary reports, travel accounts, folklore, black autobiographies, and the journals of white observers to describe the day-to-day religious life in the slave communities. Slave Religion is a must-read for anyone wanting a full picture of this `invisible institution.` [detailed...]

Gavin Wright
Slavery And American Economic Development (Walter Lynwood Fleming Lectures in Southern History)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Through an original analysis of slavery as an economic institution, Gavin Wright presents a fresh look at the economic divergence between North and South in the antebellum era. Wright draws a distinction between slavery as a form of work organization (the aspect that has dominated historical debates) and slavery as a set of property rights. Slaves could be purchased and carried to any location where slavery was legal, they could be assigned to any task regardless of gender or age, the could be punished for disobedience, with no effective recourse to the law, they could be accumulated as a form of wealth, they could be sold or bequeathed. Wright argues that slave-based commerce was central to the eighteenth-century rise of the Atlantic economy, not because slave plantations were superior as a method of organizing production, but because slaves could be put to work on sugar plantations that could not have attracted free labor on economically viable terms. On the mainland, Wright… [detailed...]

Description: In this groundbreaking historical expose, Douglas A. Blackmon brings to light one of the most shameful chapters in American history—an “Age of Neoslavery” that thrived from the aftermath of the Civil War through the dawn of World War II.Using a vast record of original documents and personal narratives, Douglas A. 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 shortly thereafter. By turns moving, sobering, and shocking, this unprecedented account reveals the stories of those who fought unsuccessfully against the re-emergence of human labor trafficking, the companies that profited most from neoslavery, and the insidious legacy of racism that reverberates today.

Slavery Without Sugar: Diversity in Caribbean Economy and Society Since the 17th Century

Publisher: —
Description: The plantation economy model-at its core the sugar plantation complex that structured Caribbean society along a rigid enslaver-enslaved line--has so pervaded Caribbean historiography that it has often masked the social and economic diversification that existed in the age of sugar. Equally veiled are the gender, class, and ethnic heterogeneity of the slave-holding class and the variation in the occupations and lived experience of the enslaved population. This volume seeks to reopen discourse on Caribbean slave society by showing how diverse the economy and society really were and how varied were the experiences of the enslaved. [detailed...]

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: One of the most disturbing autobiographies ever published in the United States, this now classic tale of African-American life in the late 18th and early 19th centuries offers an intimate view of the harsh brutality of slavery… written by a man who escaped its horrors twice and published anonymously while he was living as a fugitive. Enslaved in Maryland, South Carolina, and Georgia, and witness to some of the most cruel treatment of the entire slavery era, CHARLES BALL (b. 1780) was sold away from his mother and siblings when he was four years old, and never saw any of them again, and then watched his father wither from grief. In this 1836 account, he describes the poor diet and living conditions of his fellow slaves, details the inhuman punishments they were subjected to, and decries the thoughtless malice with which their families were ripped apart: he lost his own family when he was forcibly separated from his wife and children. An invaluable example of firsthand history,… [detailed...]

It is both a novel reinterpretation, from a Marxist perspective, of American political and economic development and a synthesis of existing scholarship on the economics of slavery, the origins of abolitionism, the proslavery argument and the second party system. With its sequel, this book will locate the political struggles of the antebellum period in the international context of the dismantling of unfree labor systems. It will also show that the Civil War should be seen as America`s `bourgeois revolution.` [detailed...]

Slavery, Emancipation, and Freedom: Comparative Perspectives (Walter Lynwood Fleming Lectures in Southern History)

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: It is beyond dispute that slavery has always been abhorrent and, wherever it still exists, should be abolished. Where most scholarly writing on slavery in the past has concentrated on examining slaves as victims, recent writings have taken a more nuanced view of slavery in focusing on the slaves themselves and their cultural and psychological accomplishments in captivity. Also, studies of the system`s profitability have shown that, from an economic perspective, slavery worked for the slaveholders and their society. In Slavery, Emancipation, and Freedom, the distinguished scholar Stanley Engerman succinctly synthesizes current scholarship and addresses questions that are critical to understanding the nature of slavery: Why did slavery arise, and how, why, where, and when did it legally end? What impact did slavery have on the enslaved? Was the impact lingering or was it reversed by the provision of freedom? Engerman begins his study by discussing slavery from a global perspective….
