Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Negro Mystic Lore In sending out these stories, nearly all of which came from Uncle Jake's lips, the author hopes to show the real kindly feeling existing between the people of the South and the better class of the negroes. That there are cases where this good feeling does not exist she is painfully aware, but these are exceptions and not the rule. Uncle Jake was a reality and not a creature of the imagination. He possessed all the kindliness of heart and philosophic views accredited to him, and while he saw no harm in appropriating some of the things belonging to de white folks, he was willing to spend and be spent in their serv ice. He took great pride in never having be longed to, or worked for, poor white folks, and the blue blood of his Marster's family was a source of as much pride to him as the fact that all the horses on the plantation were thorough breds. A few of the stories the author has used as readings, and the pleasing reception' accorded them not only at the South but also at the North gives rise to the hope that this modest volume.

Download or read book The New Negro written by Alain Locke and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A portrait of the vibrant world of 1920s Harlem, with writings by Langston Hughes, W. E. B. Du Bois, Zora Neale Hurston, Claude McKay, Walter White, and more. The Harlem Renaissance was a landmark period in African American history—a time when black poets, musicians, intellectuals, civil rights activists, and others changed the social and cultural landscape in enduring ways. Its influence went far beyond the confines of uptown New York City, as it incorporated voices from the Great Migration, in which African Americans moved north in vast numbers; and elevated artists and thinkers who would become iconic figures in not only Black history, but also American history. Now considered the definitive work of the Harlem Renaissance, The New Negro features fiction, poetry, and essays that shaped the era. “A book of unusual interest and value.” —The New York Times “[Locke was] the godfather of the Harlem Renaissance.” —Publishers Weekly “Alain Locke is a critical—and complex—figure in any discussion of African-American intellectual history.” —Kirkus Reviews

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Magic looks at the origins, meaning, and uses of Conjure—the African American tradition of healing and harming that evolved from African, European, and American elements—from the slavery period to well into the twentieth century. Illuminating a world that is dimly understood by both scholars and the general public, Yvonne P. Chireau describes Conjure and other related traditions, such as Hoodoo and Rootworking, in a beautifully written, richly detailed history that presents the voices and experiences of African Americans and shows how magic has informed their culture. Focusing on the relationship between Conjure and Christianity, Chireau shows how these seemingly contradictory traditions have worked together in a complex and complementary fashion to provide spiritual empowerment for African Americans, both slave and free, living in white America. As she explores the role of Conjure for African Americans and looks at the transformations of Conjure over time, Chireau also rewrites the dichotomy between magic and religion. With its groundbreaking analysis of an often misunderstood tradition, this book adds an important perspective to our understanding of the myriad dimensions of human spirituality.
