University of Pennsylvania Press The Enslaved and Their Enslavers: Power,
Book SynopsisIn The Enslaved and Their Enslavers, Edward Pearson offers a sweeping history of slavery in South Carolina, from British settlement in 1670 to the dawn of the Civil War. For enslaved peoples, the shape of their daily lives depended primarily on the particular environment in which they lived and worked, and Pearson examines three distinctive settings in the province: the extensive rice and indigo plantations of the coastal plain; the streets, workshops, and wharves of Charleston; and the farms and estates of the upcountry. In doing so, he provides a fine-grained analysis of how enslaved laborers interacted with their enslavers in the workplace and other locations where they encountered one another as plantation agriculture came to dominate the colony. The Enslaved and Their Enslavers sets this portrait of early South Carolina against broader political events, economic developments, and social trends that also shaped the development of slavery in the region. For example, the outbreak of the American Revolution and the subsequent war against the British in the 1770s and early 1780s as well as the French and Haitian revolutions all had a profound impact on the institution’s development, both in terms of what enslaved people drew from these events and how their enslavers responded to them. Throughout South Carolina’s long history, enslaved people never accepted their enslavement passively and regularly demonstrated their fundamental opposition to the institution by engaging in acts of resistance, which ranged from vandalism to arson to escape, and, on rare occasions, organizing collectively against their oppression. Their attempts to subvert the institution in which they were held captive not only resulted in slaveowners tightening formal and informal mechanisms of control but also generated new forms of thinking about race and slavery among whites that eventually mutated into pro-slavery ideology and the myth of southern exceptionalism.

University of Pennsylvania Press Borderlands of Slavery The Struggle over
Book SynopsisBorderlands of Slavery explores how the existence of two involuntary labor systems-Mexican peonage and Indian captivity-in the nineteenth-century Southwest impacted the transformation of America's judicial and political institutions during the antebellum, Civil War, and Reconstruction eras.Trade Review"William Kiser's new book on slavery and debt peonage in nineteenth-century New Mexico sits at the cutting edge of several historiographical trends in American history. Joining new scholarship that has demonstrated the ubiquity of Native American captivity and enslavement, the book also furthers recent efforts to nationalize the story of the Civil War, Emancipation, and Reconstruction. Cogently argued and rigorously researched, this book is a must read for anyone interested in nineteenth-century US history." * Journal of American Ethnic History *"Thousands of people in the nineteenth-century Southwest had little freedom or right to their own labor. Kiser's fascinating Borderlands of Slavery documents local and national political wrangling over systems of involuntary labor . . . [Kiser] adds important insights into the ways captivity and peonage intersected with larger abolition politics." * American Historical Review *"This fine book is a welcome addition to the growing literature on slavery and captivity in the U.S. Southwest. William S. Kiser's scholarship complements earlier works by James F. Brooks, Andrés Reséndez, and others by providing an in-depth analysis of debt peonage in the Southwest and by showing the nationwide impact of political debates and legislation elicited by southwestern practices of unfree labor." * Journal of American History *"Borderlands of Slavery offers an original analysis of the workings of Indian slavery and debt peonage in the Southwest, the legislation around these practices, the opinions in favor of and against them held by Hispanics and Anglos, and the terrible toll that they took on indigenous peoples and impoverished mestizos." * Andrés Reséndez, University of California, Davis *"William S. Kiser has given us the most comprehensive portrayal yet of debt peonage in New Mexico in the years following the American takeover of this region, all while showing that, although related, debt peonage and Indian slavery were different forms of bondage. His indefatigable research has brought to light social, legal, and political dimensions of the Southwest's post-Civil War labor institutions and customs that were far more important than scholars generally believe." * James F. Brooks, University of California, Santa Barbara *Table of ContentsPrologue Introduction Chapter 1. Debating Southwestern Slavery in the Halls of Congress Chapter 2.

Haymarket Books The Anti-Racist Writing Workshop: How To
Book SynopsisThis easy-to-use guide explains how to recruit, nourish, and fortify writers of color through innovative reading, writing, workshop, critique, and assessment strategies. A captivating mix of memoir and progressive teaching strategies, The Anti-Racist Writing Workshop: How to Decolonize the Creative Classroom demonstrates how to be culturally attuned, twenty-first century educators. The Anti-Racist Writing Workshop is a call to create healthy, sustainable, and empowering classroom communities. Award-winning educator Felicia Rose Chavez exposes the invisible politics of power and privilege that have silenced writers of color for far too long. It’s more urgent than ever that we consciously work against traditions of dominance in the classroom, but what specific actions can we take to achieve authentically inclusive communities? Together, we will address how to: · Deconstruct our biases to achieve a cultural shift in perspective. · Design a democratic teaching model to create safe spaces for creative concentration. · Recruit, nourish, and fortify students of color to best empower them to exercise voice. · Embolden our students to self-advocate as responsible citizens in a globalized community. Finally, a teaching model that protects and platforms students of color, because every writer deserves access to a public voice. For anyone looking to liberate their thinking from “the way it’s always been done,” The Anti-Racist Writing Workshop is a clear, compelling guidebook on a necessary step forward.Trade Review“With personal anecdotes and memories, with brilliant readings of spaces, classrooms, and texts, Felicia Rose Chavez communicates so much of what is truly at stake in the classroom: our voices, our histories, and our capacities to live ethically, curiously, and in true and deep connection with ourselves and others. This book is a gorgeous dismantling just as it is an urgent offering up of strategies and questions. My heart is so alive reading this.”—Aracelis Girmay, author of The Black Maria“‘How does one write but not necessarily learn voice?’ This is one of the most halting and necessary questions Felicia Rose Chavez poses in The Anti-Racist Writing Workshop. What Chavez presents from her experience as workshop participant, artist, activist, and professor is vital and generous.” —Jennifer Baker, editor of Everyday People“There is power in the words we write. Understanding how we can use those words to build community, challenge racism, and decolonize classrooms is the work of anti-racist educators. Chavez lays out powerful and inclusive ways to model a writing workshop structure that would make June Jordan proud.” —Dr. Bettina L. Love, author of We Want to Do More Than Survive“‘Dismantle’ has become a trendy word in our current historical moment. We use it, but don't really know how to dismantle. If we are truly going to learn, write, and read in an equitable, supportive, creative, humanity-driven environment that seeks to replace white-centered, patriarchal teaching techniques, this book is required reading. It's bound to be an instant classic.” —Willie Perdomo, author of The Crazy Bunch“Felicia Chavez's The Anti-Racist Writing Workshop is a generational intervention. Chavez is expanding expectations of How-To books while giving radical generative portals of entry into workshop reconstruction. Every writing teacher on Earth needs this book."—Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy"I just read The Anti-Racist Writing Workshop; so many great insights into the whiteness of the discussion of craft and the creative writing classroom. Great book for writing teachers and librarians (like me) who support creative writing programs or English departments with creative writing courses." —Thomas Dodson, Southern Oregon University LibrarianTable of ContentsIntroduction Chapter One: Decolonizing the Creative ClassroomChapter Two: Preparing for ChangeChapter Three: Fostering Engagement, Mindfulness, and Generosity Chapter Four: Instituting Reading and Writing RitualsChapter Five: Completing the CanonChapter Six: Owning the Language of CraftChapter Seven: TeachingWriters to WorkshopChapter Eight:Conferencing as CritiqueChapter Nine: Promoting Camaraderie and Collective PowerAppendix: Platforming Writers of Color: A 21st Century Reference Guide

University of the West Indies Press The Blackest Thing in Slavery Was Not the Black
Book SynopsisThis book represents the final instalment of research and analysis by one of the Caribbean's foremost historians. In this volume, Eric Williams reflects on the institution of slavery from the ancient period in Europe down to New World African Slavery. The book also includes other forms of bondage which followed slavery, including Japanese, Chinese, Indians and Pacific peoples in many locations worldwide. The book points ways in which this bondage led to European and American prosperity and the manner in which bonded peoples created their own spaces. This they did through the preservation and revival of the transported culture to the new locations. The book makes a significant contribution in that it moves beyond African slavery. It continues the narrative after abolition by showing how the capitalist impulse enabled Europe and the United States to devise other (non-slavery) ways of further exploitation of non-African people in third world countries. These nations fought this further exploitation in banding together to create the south-to-south nonaligned movement which gave mutual assistance in a number of areas. Most other works tend to separate these issues or deal with them on a regional basis. Eric Williams offers a comprehensive view, tying up many themes in a vast compendium.

Liverpool University Press Fathers, Daughters, and Slaves: Women Writers and
Book SynopsisFathers, Daughters, and Slaves brings to life the unique contribution by French women during the early nineteenth century, a key period in the history of colonialism and slavery. The book enriches our understanding of French and Atlantic history in the revolutionary and postrevolutionary years when Haiti was menaced with the re-establishment of slavery and when class, race, and gender identities were being renegotiated. It offers in-depth readings of works by Germaine de Staël, Claire de Duras, and Marceline Desbordes-Valmore. In addition to these now canonical French authors, it calls attention to the lives and works of two lesser-known but important figures—Charlotte Dard and Sophie Doin. Approaching these five women through the prism of paternal authority, Fathers, Daughters, and Slaves explores the empathy that daughters show toward blacks as well as their resistance against the oppression exercised by male colonists and other authority figures. The works by these French women antislavery writers bear significant similarities, which the book explores, with twentieth and twenty-first century Francophone texts. These women’s contributions allow us to move beyond the traditional boundaries of exclusively male accounts by missionaries, explorers, functionaries, and military or political figures. They remind us of the imperative for ever-renewed gender research in the colonial archive and the need to expand conceptions of French women’s writing in the nineteenth century as being a small minority corpus. Fathers, Daughters, and Slaves contributes to an understanding of colonial fiction, Caribbean writing, romanticism, and feminism. It undercuts neat distinctions between the cultures of France and its colonies and between nineteenth and twentieth-century Francophone writing.Trade ReviewReviews'Fathers, Daughters, and Slaves explores a fascinating corpus of texts that straddle French and colonial history.
