Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LARGE PRINT EDITION! More at LargePrintLiberty.com Étienne de La Boétie was born in Sarlat, in the Périgord region of southwest France, in 1530, to an aristocratic family, and became a dear friend of Michel de Montaigne. But he ought to be remembered for this astonishingly important essay, one of the greatest in the history of political thought. It will shake the way you think of the state. His thesis and argument amount to the best answer to Machiavelli ever penned as well as one of the seminal essays in defense of liberty.La Boétie's task is to investigate the nature of the state and its strange status as a tiny minority of the population that adheres to different rules from everyone else and claims the authority to rule everyone else, maintaining a monopoly on law. It strikes him as obviously implausible that such an institution has any staying power. It can be overthrown in an instant if people withdraw their consent.He then investigates the mystery as to why people do not withdraw, given what is obvious to him that everyone would be better off without the state. This sends him on a speculative journey to investigate the power of propaganda, fear, and ideology in causing people to acquiesce in their own subjection. Is it cowardice? Perhaps. Habit and tradition. Perhaps. Perhaps it is ideological illusion and intellectual confusion.
Download or read book From Servitude to Sonship written by James Ray and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-05 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What would happen if you died today? Who would inherit the legacy you've worked for? Have you ever been fortunate enough to be on the receiving end of an inheritance? Whether you answered yes or no to any of these questions, there is a reward waiting for you through the power of God. Life is rewarding, but it also has its challenges. Shame, guilt, frustration, anger, depression, sin, and the many other pressures of life may seem overwhelming, but we face these realities every day. As a child of God, you will grow up with the inherent promise that today you'll be the servant. But, in the end, after believing, obeying, enduring, and being patient, you will take on the role of a son or daughter and be in a position to receive God's endowment. This is not something that happens to you only when someone dies; you can receive your inheritance now. What we have waiting for us is a precious gift-a position of royalty in God's kingdom-that is ours for the taking. In From Servitude to Sonship, author James Ray explores how God intends for us to live by showing us where we are right now and how to get to where we should be-living in our inheritance.
Download or read book Seven Years in Servitude Before a Restorer written by Uchenna C. Ismaila and published by BookRix. This book was released on 2021-03-12 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Seven Years in Servitude Before a Restorer” relates to issues of kidnapping, killing and abuse of communal leadership which have left the masses in terror, fear and desolation. This down-to-earth play is then a political satire through which the playwright uses as a narrative lens to capture the cruelties and brutal acts of the leaders over the led. Prince Nicholas, a leading terrorist, has his men who are depraved and corrupt, subjecting people into unwanted slavery. No one dares to question them because the prince is in power and thinks he can use it to get what he wants until death creeps in laying his icy hand on the king, and then a new king is chosen to restore the lost peace in the land.

Download or read book Escaping Servitude written by Antonio T. Bly and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2014-12-24 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Escaping Servitude: A Documentary History of Runaway Servants in Eighteenth-Century Virginia is an edited collection of runaway servant advertisements that appeared in newspapers in eighteenth-century Virginia. In addition to documenting the fugitive in the Chesapeake, it adds to our understanding of indentured servitude and provides valuable insights into an important chapter in American history. Escaping Servitude’s contribution to scholarship is threefold. First, it calls new attention to the scant scholarly body of work concerning indentured servitude; specifically, the work pertaining to fugitive servants. Highlighting well over one thousand accounts in which bondsmen and women ran away from their masters in Virginia during the colonial era, Escaping Servitude complements Abbot Emerson Smith’s Colonist in Bondage: White Servitude and Convict Labor in America, 1607-1776, Edmund Morgan’s American, American Freedom, David W. Galenson’s White Servitude in Colonial America, Anthony Parent Jr.’s Foul Means, Don Jordon and Michael Walsh’s White Cargo, and others studies of American serfdom. Secondly, considering that there is currently no other documentary history in print for other colonies in British America, Escaping Servitude hopes to inspire similar histories for eighteenth-century Maryland, North and South Carolina, Georgia, and the northern colonies. Less known are the life stories of indentures who absconded in other parts of British America. Finally, in its explication of the lives of the unfree, Escaping Servitude hopes to expand the current academic discourse regarding the history of slavery and race.
Download or read book Prince of Servitude written by G. A. Hauser and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prince of Servitude takes place in a mythical kingdom where a beautiful prince named Tristen finds he is attracted to his best friend Dinas. Unfortunately in the land of Brandywine men having sex with other men is illegal. Not only does Tristen love men, he loves to be bound and helpless during the act. Tristen lets go his inhibitions when he is held captive by an enemy army. Can his beloved Dinas save Tristen from being held prisoner, preventing Tristen from inheriting the throne? Or will the sexual freedom Tristen has discovered prevent him from living his legacy. Through love and loyalty Tristen just might find he can have his crown and his true love as well. This novel is a 'fractured' fairy tale, yet it echoes the reality of our own country's inequality of laws regarding same sex couples from state to state. There is an intentional underlying irony to this work of fiction.

Download or read book Concubinage and Servitude in Late Imperial China written by Hsieh Bao Hua and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2014-06-18 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the long course of late imperial Chinese history, servants and concubines formed a vast social stratum in the hinterland along the Grand Canal, particularly in urban areas. Concubinage and Servitude in Late Imperial China is a survey of the institutions and practice of concubinage and servitude in both the general populace and the imperial palace, with a focus on the examination of Ming-Qing political and socioeconomic history through the lives of this particular group of distinct yet associated individuals. The persistent theme of the book is how concubines, appointed by patriarchal polygamy, and servants, laboring under the master-servants hierarchy, experienced interactions and mobility within each institution and in associating with the other. While reviewing how ritual and law treated concubines and servants as patriarchal possessions, the author explores the perspectives available for individualconcubines and servants and the limitations in their daily circumstances, searching for their “positional powers” and “privilege of the inferiors” in the context of Chinese culture during the Ming-Qing time period.

Download or read book Servants and Servitude in Colonial America written by Russell M. Lawson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dispossessed people of Colonial America included thousands of servants who either voluntarily or involuntarily ended up serving as agricultural, domestic, skilled, and unskilled laborers in the northern, middle, and southern British American colonies as well as British Caribbean colonies. Thousands of people arrived in the British-American colonies as indentured servants, transported felons, and kidnapped children forced into bound labor. Others already in America, such as Indians, freedmen, and poor whites, placed themselves into the service of others for food, clothing, shelter, and security; poverty in colonial America was relentless, and servitude was the voluntary and involuntary means by which the poor adapted, or tried to adapt, to miserable conditions. From the 1600s to the 1700s, Blacks, Indians, Europeans, Englishmen, children, and adults alike were indentured, apprenticed, transported as felons, kidnapped, or served as redemptioners. Though servitude was more multiracial and multicultural than slavery, involving people from numerous racial and ethnic backgrounds, far fewer books have been written about it. This fascinating new study of servitude in colonial America provides the first complete overview of the varied lives of the dispossessed in 17th- and 18th-century America, examining colonial American servitude in all of its forms.
