Book excerpt: Each time a child was born in bondage, the system of slavery began anew. Although raised by their parents or by surrogates in the slave community, children were ultimately subject to the rule of their owners. Following the life cycle of a child from birth through youth to young adulthood, Marie Jenkins Schwartz explores the daunting world of slave children, a world governed by the dual authority of parent and owner, each with conflicting agendas. Despite the constant threats of separation and the necessity of submission to the slaveowner, slave families managed to pass on essential lessons about enduring bondage with human dignity. Schwartz counters the commonly held vision of the paternalistic slaveholder who determines the life and welfare of his passive chattel, showing instead how slaves struggled to give their children a sense of self and belonging that denied the owner complete control. Born in Bondage gives us an unsurpassed look at what it meant to grow up as a slave in the antebellum South. Schwartz recreates the experiences of these bound but resilient young people as they learned to negotiate between acts of submission and selfhood, between the worlds of commodity and community.

Book Synopsis Up from Bondage by : Dale E Peterson
Download or read book Up from Bondage written by Dale E Peterson. This book was released on 2024-03-05. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ENG During the nineteenth century literate Russians and educated American blacks encountered a dominant Western narrative of world civilization that consigned Slavs and African Americans to the status of unhistoric peoples. In response, generations of Russian and American black intellectuals have asserted eloquent counterclaims for the cultural significance of a collective national "soul" veiled from prejudiced Western eyes. UP FROM BONDAGE is the first study to parallel the evolution of Russian and African American cultural nationalism in literary works and philosophical writings. Each chapter compares influential texts from each tradition at a similar point in the development of national self-consciousness. RUS В XIX веке грамотные русские и образованные афроамериканцы столкнулись лицом к лицу с доминирующей западной концепцией мировой цивилизации, которая, казалось, игнорировала их историю. В течение нескольких поколений в русской и афроамериканской интеллектуальной среде формировался ответ, постулирующий культурную значимость коллективной «национальной души», скрытой от предвзятого западного взгляда. Книга Дэйла Петерсона -- первое исследование, в котором проводится параллель между эволюцией русского и афроамериканского культурного национализма в литературных произведениях и философских трудах.
