Download or read book Jockomo written by Shane Lief and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2019-10-25 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jockomo: The Native Roots of Mardi Gras Indians celebrates the transcendent experience of Mardi Gras, encompassing both ancient and current traditions of New Orleans. The Mardi Gras Indians are a renowned and beloved fixture of New Orleans public culture. Yet very little is known about the indigenous roots of their cultural practices. For the first time, this book explores the Native American ceremonial traditions that influenced the development of the Mardi Gras Indian cultural system. Jockomo reveals the complex story of exchanges that have taken place over the past three centuries, generating new ways of singing and speaking, with many languages mixing as people’s lives overlapped. Contemporary photographs by John McCusker and archival images combine to offer a complementary narrative to the text. From the depictions of eighteenth-century Native American musical processions to the first known photo of Mardi Gras Indians, Jockomo is a visual feast, displaying the evolution of cultural traditions throughout the history of New Orleans. By the beginning of the twentieth century, Mardi Gras Indians had become a recognized local tradition. Over the course of the next one hundred years, their unique practices would move from the periphery to the very center of public consciousness as a quintessentially New Orleanian form of music and performance, even while retaining some of the most ancient features of Native American culture and language. Jockomo offers a new way of seeing and hearing the blended legacies of New Orleans.
Download or read book In the Lion s Mouth written by Omar H. Ali and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2011-02-03 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the collapse of Reconstruction in 1877, African Americans organized a movement—distinct from the white Populist movement—in the South and parts of the Midwest for economic and political reform: Black Populism. Between 1886 and 1898, tens of thousands of black farmers, sharecroppers, and agrarian workers created their own organizations and tactics primarily under black leadership. As Black Populism grew as a regional force, it met fierce resistance from the Southern Democrats and constituent white planters and local merchants. African Americans carried out a wide range of activities in this hostile environment. They established farming exchanges and cooperatives; raised money for schools; published newspapers; lobbied for better agrarian legislation; mounted boycotts against agricultural trusts and business monopolies; carried out strikes for better wages; protested the convict lease system, segregated coach boxes, and lynching; demanded black jurors in cases involving black defendants; promoted local political reforms and federal supervision of elections; and ran independent and fusion campaigns. Growing out of the networks established by black churches and fraternal organizations, Black Populism found further expression in the Colored Agricultural Wheels, the southern branch of the Knights of Labor, the Cooperative Workers of America, the Farmers Union, and the Colored Farmers Alliance. In the early 1890s African Americans, together with their white counterparts, launched the People's Party and ran fusion campaigns with the Republican Party. By the turn of the century, Black Populism had been crushed by relentless attack, hostile propaganda, and targeted assassinations of leaders and foot soldiers of the movement. The movement's legacy remains, though, as the largest independent black political movement until the rise of the modern civil rights movement.
Download or read book The Thibodaux Massacre written by John DeSantis and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On November 23, 1887, white vigilantes gunned down unarmed black laborers and their families during a spree lasting more than two hours. The violence erupted due to strikes on Louisiana sugar cane plantations. Fear, rumor and white supremacist ideals clashed with an unprecedented labor action to create an epic tragedy. A future member of the U.S. House of Representatives was among the leaders of a mob that routed black men from houses and forced them to a stretch of railroad track, ordering them to run for their lives before gunning them down. According to a witness, the guns firing in the black neighborhoods sounded like a battle. Author and award-winning reporter John DeSantis uses correspondence, interviews and federal records to detail this harrowing true story.
Download or read book Waterfront Workers of New Orleans written by Eric Arnesen and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1991 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridging the gaps between African-American and labor history, this compelling study focuses on ten thousand black and white riverfront workers in New Orleans, and class and race relations through the turbulent Civil War and Reconstruction years, the racially flexible 1880s, the racially violent 1890s, and the early twentieth century's age of segregation. Arnesen explores the role of black unions in the city's larger African-American social network; the connection between race relation and union work rules; the political culture that alternately encouraged and discouraged biracial collaboration; and the rise and fall of two biracial labor federations (the Cotton Men's Executive Council from 1880 to the early 1890s, and the Dock and Cotton Council from 1901 to 1923). A pragmatic response to the reality of a racially divided work force, biracial unionism provided a strong framework for mediating racial tensions and ensuring limited cooperation across racial lines. By the early twentieth century, New Orleans' waterfront workers had forged a powerful movement that violated the basic tenets of the segregationist era. This unique study will appeal to students and scholars of African-American, labor, social, southern, or urban history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Proceedings in the City of New Orleans: On the Occasion of the Funeral Ceremonies These Obsequies, in addition, were a heartfelt tribute from the Men and Women of the Crescent City to the memory of one who had ever shown himself so true and manly in his friendships, so tender and devoted in his family circle. And, finally, these Obsequies were a respectful testimonial of the deepest sympathy by the people of New Orleans for the stricken survivors of the bereaved household. The lesson to be derived from the remarkable career and the remarkable death of the late President, is multiform, and cannot be discussed here. One of Its most serious teachings may be rightly set forth, however, in the following paragraphs that closed the Preface of the Calhoun, Clay and Webster Memorial Volume, to which refer ence has been made: In the contemplation of these unstinted honors to the memory of the departed statesmen, not only will many an obscure youth find stimulants to perseverance in the path of public duty, but living statesmen, yet in the heat of conflict, may find in them the consoling assurance of a just appreciation when they, too, shall have emerged into an atmosphere cleared of the partisan mists of the day. To that serene region, Death raises them at once. There the prejudices of the time vanish, and the instincts of justice, gratitude and rever ence resume their sway. The Dead have no longer partisans or enemies among their countrymen. We all join to do honor to their memory - to claim an equal share in their renown - to mourn together over their loss - and to unite as kindred to plant laurels upon their tombs. True and to the point in 1852, these reflections are equally true and applicable now and they will, therefore, appropriately close this Preface. The People of New Orleans united, as they have not been united in a quarter of a century, to do honor to the memory of james A. Garfield: to mourn together over his loss: and to plant laurels and immortelles on his tomb. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
