This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Correspondence Relative to the Emigration to Hayti, of the Free People of Colour, in the United States: Together With the Instructions to the Agent Sent Out by President Boyer The important and interesting subject on which I write, is my reason for. Addressing myself, directly to the Chief Magistrate of Hayti. My duty as Agent of the American Colonization Society, as, well as my own feelings, leads me to desire information on every point that looks like affording benefit to my unhappy colour ed countrymen. The first view would suggest that mutual benefit might result to them and your'nation, by their settlement in your Island. But a moment's reflection, shows, that, this must depend on the cir cumstances under which they shall find themselves placed, when removed to Hayti. Lam not ignorant that you have made offers of a favourable kind, and that even late information from an einigrant with you, shows, that you afford them some strong motives to migrate to your Island; yet I am ignorant of many things, which would be necessary to be known before their emigration could be aided by the Colonization Society.

Book Standard Bearers of Equality

Download or read book Standard Bearers of Equality written by Paul J. Polgar and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2019-11-07 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Polgar recovers the racially inclusive vision of America's first abolition movement. In showcasing the activities of the Pennsylvania Abolition Society, the New York Manumission Society, and their African American allies during the post-Revolutionary and early national eras, he unearths this coalition's comprehensive agenda for black freedom and equality. By guarding and expanding the rights of people of African descent and demonstrating that black Americans could become virtuous citizens of the new Republic, these activists, whom Polgar names "first movement abolitionists," sought to end white prejudice and eliminate racial inequality. Beginning in the 1820s, however, colonization threatened to eclipse this racially inclusive movement. Colonizationists claimed that what they saw as permanent black inferiority and unconquerable white prejudice meant that slavery could end only if those freed were exiled from the United States. In pulling many reformers into their orbit, this radically different antislavery movement marginalized the activism of America's first abolitionists and obscured the racially progressive origins of American abolitionism that Polgar now recaptures. By reinterpreting the early history of American antislavery, Polgar illustrates that the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries are as integral to histories of race, rights, and reform in the United States as the mid-nineteenth century.

Download or read book Against Wind and Tide written by Ousmane K. Power-Greene and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2014-09-05 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against Wind and Tide tells the story of African American’s battle against the American Colonization Society (ACS), founded in 1816 with the intention to return free blacks to its colony Liberia. Although ACS members considered free black colonization in Africa a benevolent enterprise, most black leaders rejected the ACS, fearing that the organization sought forced removal. As Ousmane K. Power-Greene’s story shows, these African American anticolonizationists did not believe Liberia would ever be a true “black American homeland.” In this study of anticolonization agitation, Power-Greene draws on newspapers, meeting minutes, and letters to explore the concerted effort on the part of nineteenth century black activists, community leaders, and spokespersons to challenge the American Colonization Society’s attempt to make colonization of free blacks federal policy. The ACS insisted the plan embodied empowerment. The United States, they argued, would never accept free blacks as citizens, and the only solution to the status of free blacks was to create an autonomous nation that would fundamentally reject racism at its core. But the activists and reformers on the opposite side believed that the colonization movement was itself deeply racist and in fact one of the greatest obstacles for African Americans to gain citizenship in the United States. Power-Greene synthesizes debates about colonization and emigration, situating this complex and enduring issue into an ever broader conversation about nation building and identity formation in the Atlantic world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unfinished Revolution is the first study to gather nineteenth-century representations and performances of Haitian sovereignty in the Atlantic world. In assembling this undiscovered archive of black power, this book offers compelling evidence of the ways that sovereignty and blackness intersect with unstable processes of modernity to produce an articulation of black authority always, already under threat for eradication or ridicule. Undeterred, nineteenth-century Haitian leaders mounted a century's-long battle to situate Haiti at the centre of the Atlantic world.

Book The Dispersion

    Book Details:
  • Author : Stéphane Dufoix
  • Publisher : BRILL
  • Release : 2016-11-28
  • ISBN : 900432691X
  • Pages : 601 pages

Download or read book The Dispersion written by Stéphane Dufoix and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-11-28 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2017 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Award In The Dispersion, Stéphane Dufoix skillfully traces how the word “diaspora”, first coined in the third century BCE, has, over the past three decades, developed into a contemporary concept often considered to be ideally suited to grasping the complexities of our current world. Spanning two millennia, from the Septuagint to the emergence of Zionism, from early Christianity to the Moravians, from slavery to the defence of the Black cause, from its first scholarly uses to academic ubiquity, from the early negative connotations of the term to its contemporary apotheosis, Stéphane Dufoix explores the historical socio-semantics of a word that, perhaps paradoxically, has entered the vernacular while remaining poorly understood.
