Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lofty and the Lowly, or Good in All and None All-Good, Vol. 2 of 2 The negroes had of course been all assembled in the yard, that they might be seen by those who affixed their value. In doing this it may be well to say that none of those disgusting scenes so often described, but so rarely witnessed, which degrade men to the level of brutes, were exhibited. The negroes, to whom the day was a holiday, came. Dressed in their best, showing little anxiety, either in countenance or manner, for the result of the allotment about to be made. When they were all assembled in the yard, and the family and the appraisers standing on the high piazza that overlooked them, each stepped out as he was called with his wife and children, if he had such appendages; some times it was an Old man with children and grandchildren; the inspectors saw their age and general appearance; the family described their qualities, giving prominence always to the intellectual and moral; the appraisers consulted togeth er, occasionally glancing at them to confirm an Opinion, or remove a doubt, and then, the valuation having been made, and the amount placed opposite the list of their names, they were permitted to fall back, giving place to another family. The little awkwardness they might feel while thus standing - it was but little as was proved by the smiles and sly looks often interchanged with each other at the observations overheard - was relieved by a few words occasionally address ed to them by the family, or sometimes by a jocose remark from one of the gentlemen, whom they all knew, and to whom they sometimes replied with considerable wit.

Download or read book A History of the Literature of the U S South Volume 1 written by Harilaos Stecopoulos and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-05 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of the Literature of the U.S. South provides scholars with a dynamic and heterogeneous examination of southern writing from John Smith to Natasha Trethewey. Eschewing a master narrative limited to predictable authors and titles, the anthology adopts a variegated approach that emphasizes the cultural and political tensions crucial to the making of this regional literature. Certain chapters focus on major white writers (e.g., Thomas Jefferson, William Faulkner, the Agrarians, Cormac McCarthy), but a substantial portion of the work foregrounds the achievements of African American writers like Frederick Douglass, Zora Neale Hurston, and Sarah Wright to address the multiracial and transnational dimensions of this literary formation. Theoretically informed and historically aware, the volume's contributors collectively demonstrate how southern literature constitutes an aesthetic, cultural and political field that richly repays examination from a variety of critical perspectives.

Download or read book I Ching written by and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2015-10-13 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A master translator's beautiful and accessible rendering of the seminal Chinese text In a radically new translation and interpretation of the I Ching, David Hinton strips this ancient Chinese masterwork of the usual apparatus and discovers a deeply poetic and philosophical text. Teasing out an elegant vision of the cosmos as ever-changing yet harmonious, Hinton reveals the seed from which Chinese philosophy, poetry, and painting grew. Although it was and is widely used for divination, the I Ching is also a book of poetic philosophy, deeply valued by artists and intellectuals, and Hinton's translation restores it to its original lyrical form. Previous translations have rendered the I Ching as a divination text full of arcane language and extensive commentary. Though informative, these versions rarely hint at the work's philosophical heart, let alone its literary beauty. Here, Hinton translates only the original strata of the text, revealing a fully formed work of literature in its own right. The result is full of wild imagery, fables, aphorisms, and stories. Acclaimed for the eloquence of his many translations of ancient Chinese poetry and philosophy, Hinton has reinvented the I Ching as an exciting contemporary text at once primal and postmodern.

Download or read book Rebalancing Society written by Henry Mintzberg and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2015-01-05 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enough of the imbalance that is causing the degradation of our environment, the demise of our democracies, and the denigration of ourselves. Enough of the pendulum politics of left and right and paralysis in the political center. We require an unprecedented form of radical renewal. In this book Henry Mintzberg offers a new understanding of the root of our current crisis and a strategy for restoring the balance so vital to the survival of our progeny and our planet. With the collapse of the communist regimes of Eastern Europe, Western pundits declared that capitalism had triumphed. They were wrong—balance triumphed. A healthy society balances a public sector of respected governments, a private sector of responsible businesses, and a plural sector of robust communities. Communism collapsed under the weight of its overbearing public sector. Now the “liberal democracies” are threatened—socially, politically, even economically—by the unchecked excesses of the private sector. Radical renewal will have to begin in the plural sector, which alone has the inclination and the independence to challenge unacceptable practices and develop better ones. Too many governments have been co-opted by the private sector. And corporate social responsibility can't compensate for the corporate social irresponsibility we see around us “They” won't do it. We shall have to do it, each of us and all of us, not as passive “human resources,” but as resourceful human beings. Tom Paine wrote in 1776, “We have it in our power to begin the world over again.” He was right then. Can we be right again now? Can we afford not to be?
