Book Synopsis Persistence of Memories of Slavery and Emancipation in Historical Andover by : Edward L. Bell
Download or read book Persistence of Memories of Slavery and Emancipation in Historical Andover written by Edward L. Bell. This book was released on 2021-01-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical Andover--which includes North Andover and Lawrence--became famous as a hot center of pre-Civil War antislavery activism. Why then was a 100-year-old Andover woman officially counted as a "slave" in the 1830 federal census for Massachusetts, a "free" state that had abolished slavery? And who was Rosanna Coburn, still remembered as the "last slave" born in Andover? Persistence of Memories of Slavery and Emancipation in Historical Andover brings forward indispensable research discoveries about fascinating people of many ancestries and heritages, connected together and integral to New England histories, artifacts, cultural traditions, and historic places. Their ordinary and extraordinary lives in historical Andover and surrounding localities are remembered today, some even internationally. This study's essential findings, informative endnotes, and a bibliography of incisive sources deepen views of the persistent echoes of enslavement, emancipation, and postemancipation in Atlantic World and global perspective.

Book Synopsis Feminism and the Abyss of Freedom by : Linda M. G. Zerilli
Download or read book Feminism and the Abyss of Freedom written by Linda M. G. Zerilli. This book was released on 2020-11-13. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contemporary feminist theory, the problem of feminine subjectivity persistently appears and reappears as the site that grounds all discussion of feminism. In Feminism and the Abyss of Freedom, Linda M. G. Zerilli argues that the persistence of this subject-centered frame severely limits feminists' capacity to think imaginatively about the central problem of feminist theory and practice: a politics concerned with freedom. Offering both a discussion of feminism in its postmodern context and a critique of contemporary theory, Zerilli here challenges feminists to move away from a theory-based approach, which focuses on securing or contesting "women" as an analytic category of feminism, to one rooted in political action and judgment. She revisits the democratic problem of exclusion from participation in common affairs and elaborates a freedom-centered feminism as the political practice of beginning anew, world-building, and judging. In a series of case studies, Zerilli draws on the political thought of Hannah Arendt to articulate a nonsovereign conception of political freedom and to explore a variety of feminist understandings of freedom in the twentieth century, including ones proposed by Judith Butler, Monique Wittig, and the Milan Women's Bookstore Collective. In so doing, Zerilli hopes to retrieve what Arendt called feminism's lost treasure: the original and radical claim to political freedom.
