Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Future of the Colored Race I do not appear before the faculty and students of the Agricultural and Mechan ical College to discuss what the newspapers and politicians call the race question in the Southern United States. What is here called the race problem, under another form, is equally pressing in the Northern States of the Union. It is only one section of the radical problem raised by that new departure in human affairs, the original Declaration of American Independence, fought out through eight terrible years Of the war of the Revolution, and finally embodied in the Constitution of a republican government for the United States of America, declared, substantially, by Mr. Gladstone to be the most remarkable achievement of original statesmanship ever struck out by any body of men in the history of mankind. The motive power Of that new government and order of society, now a century old - the great political dynamo that generates the force which moves and illumines the national life - is the radical idea, then for the first time deliberately adopted by any government, that it is possible to construct a nationality in which all orders and conditions of people can live together, each man, woman, and child a vital part of the whole, every member protected in all the fundamental rights Of human nature, including the sovereign right to strive for his own highest possibility of man hood or womanhood, and all working together for the common good. That lofty idea Of our new American nationality is only the translation into pub lic affairs of the idea of human-nature and possibility announced by Jesus Christ in the Sermon on the Mount, the Lord's Prayer, the Beatitudes, the Golden Rule, and the Law Of Love. After an eighteen-century struggle upward out of the darkness of a paganism which held to the fundamental heresy Of antiquity that every superior man was a brevet deity and all the rest of the world human trash, in the fullness of time this great American new departure sent greeting back to Palestine and began the mighty experiment of educating all orders and conditions Of people upward toward that American sovereign citizenship, which truly achieved is the loftiest posi tion in the world, made possible to every son and daughter of God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Future of the Colored Race in America: Being an Article in the Presbyterian Quarterly Review of July, 1862 The effect of emancipating one's slaves upon the social posi tion of the master, has been seen over and over again; the hour when the bonds are broken and freedom is given is the hour when all the former associations are given up; expatriation and banishment are the inevitable results. The generous, or the conscientious emancipator at once becomes an exile; he has sunk at once out of an aristocracy whose titular power he gave up the moment he ceased to be a slave-holder, and he cannot comfortably abide in even his old home. Here is the explana tion of the vast and unexpected power putforth by this rebel lion, of the unconquered will, of the enormous sacrifices en dured; here is the explanation of the seeming insanity of the struggle, of the unwarrantableness of its acts, of the demoniac fierceness of its rage, and the diabolical malignity and cruelty of its method of war; it is the death struggle of a great social element, for which to be conquered is to be ruined and swept out of existence.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gilgal of the Colored Race: A Baccalaureate Discourse Every friend of the colored race should, for the purpose now under consideration, bid God - speed to their efforts in the temperance cause. The colored people have a special danger, since emam ipation. In the direction of intemperance. Slaverv kept out liquor, by with holding monev and retaining the laborers upon plantations. Free dom brings wages and the opportunity to obtain strong drink. (ion sequently, sad reports reach me from some sections of the South, of the increase of drunkenness among the colored people. Two years ago, in a long temperance procession, which paraded the streets of I saw no colored men, though hundreds of them lined the sidewalks as spectators. If this was because the spirit of caste excluded them from the ranks, the fact. Was a disgrace to the white temperance reformers of \vashington; but if it was because the col ored race has no interest in this reform, it speaks sadly for its future, and begets a fear that many of them will add a new reproach to its name, instead of rolling away the old ones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beacon Lights of the Race The youth of the race have been the victims of false and vicious traditions that have destroyed their stamina, paralyzed their ener gies, and wrought greater destruction with the future of the race than famine, pestilence or war. From the very cradle the youth of the race have had instilled in their minds that they were created by an all-wise Providence merely to be hewers of wood and drawers of water for the other races of mankind, and that there is no possible escape from that' inexorable decree. The flat of Providence is that every man shall earn his bread in the sweat of his own brow, and this decree applies to all men alike, irrespective of color or previous condition. The writer does not believe in the circumscriptions of Providence, as applied to any race, but he does believe that Omnipotence holds every man personally responsible for the manner in which he uses his opportunities, and that He confers upon every man the privilege of making his own monument of good or evil. This book is a clarion call to the discouraged and the weak, exhorting them to buckle on the armor of resolution, work out their destiny in the fear of the Lord, and take possession of the inexhaustible store of riches which benign Providence has bequeathed as an inheritance to every rational and responsible man.

Download or read book Race After Technology written by Ruha Benjamin and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-07-09 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From everyday apps to complex algorithms, Ruha Benjamin cuts through tech-industry hype to understand how emerging technologies can reinforce White supremacy and deepen social inequity. Benjamin argues that automation, far from being a sinister story of racist programmers scheming on the dark web, has the potential to hide, speed up, and deepen discrimination while appearing neutral and even benevolent when compared to the racism of a previous era. Presenting the concept of the “New Jim Code,” she shows how a range of discriminatory designs encode inequity by explicitly amplifying racial hierarchies; by ignoring but thereby replicating social divisions; or by aiming to fix racial bias but ultimately doing quite the opposite. Moreover, she makes a compelling case for race itself as a kind of technology, designed to stratify and sanctify social injustice in the architecture of everyday life. This illuminating guide provides conceptual tools for decoding tech promises with sociologically informed skepticism. In doing so, it challenges us to question not only the technologies we are sold but also the ones we ourselves manufacture. Visit the book's free Discussion Guide here.
Download or read book Science Sexuality and Race in the United States and Australia 1780 1940 written by Gregory D. Smithers and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2017-07 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science, Sexuality, and Race in the United States and Australia, 1780–1940, Revised Edition is a sociohistorical tour de force that examines the entwined formation of racial theory and sexual constructs within settler colonialism in the United States and Australia from the Age of Revolution to the Great Depression. Gregory D. Smithers historicizes the dissemination and application of scientific and social-scientific ideas within the process of nation building in two countries with large Indigenous populations and shows how intellectual constructs of race and sexuality were mobilized to subdue Aboriginal peoples. Building on the comparative settler-colonial and imperial histories that appeared after the book’s original publication, this completely revised edition includes two new chapters. In this singular contribution to the study of transnational and comparative settler colonialism, Smithers expands on recent scholarship to illuminate both the subject of the scientific study of race and sexuality and the national and interrelated histories of the United States and Australia.
Download or read book Reluctant Race Men written by Joan L. Bryant and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-02-13 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Activists in the earliest Black antebellum reform endeavors contested and deprecated the concept of race. Attacks on the logic and ethics of dividing, grouping, and ranking humans into races became commonplace facets of activism in anti-colonization and emigration campaigns, suffrage and civil rights initiatives, moral reform projects, abolitionist struggles, independent church development, and confrontations with scientific thought on human origins. Denunciations persisted even as later generations of reformers felt compelled by theories of progress and American custom to promote race as a basis of a Black collective consciousness. Reluctant Race Men traces a history of the disparate challenges Black American reformers lodged against race across the long nineteenth century. It factors their opposition into the nation's history of race and reconstructs a reform tradition largely ignored in accounts of Black activism. Black-controlled newspapers, societies, churches, and conventions provided the principal loci and resources for questioning race. In these contexts, people of African descent generated a lexicon for refuting race, debated its logic, and, ultimately, reinterpreted it. Reformers' challenges call into question the notion that race is a self-evident site of identity among Black people. Their ideas instead spotlight legal, political, religious, social, and scientific practices that configured human difference, sameness, hierarchy, and consciousness. They show how a diverse set of actions constituted multi-faceted American phenomena dubbed "race."
Download or read book Whiteness of a Different Color written by Matthew Frye Jacobson and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1999-09-01 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's racial odyssey is the subject of this remarkable work of historical imagination. Matthew Frye Jacobson argues that race resides not in nature but in the contingencies of politics and culture. In ever-changing racial categories we glimpse the competing theories of history and collective destiny by which power has been organized and contested in the United States. Capturing the excitement of the new field of "whiteness studies" and linking it to traditional historical inquiry, Jacobson shows that in this nation of immigrants "race" has been at the core of civic assimilation: ethnic minorities, in becoming American, were re-racialized to become Caucasian.

Download or read book The Memoirs of Toussaint and Isaac Louverture written by Arthur F. Saint-Aubin and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the memoir of Toussaint Louverture—a former slave, general in the French army, and leader of the Haitian Revolution—and the memoir of his son, Isaac. The Revolution and its leaders have been studied and written about extensively. Until recently (2004), however, the memoir of Toussaint has received little attention—and only as a historical document. This is the first study that explores the 1802 work foremost as a literary text, a creative production that deploys the techniques of fiction and drama to make truth claims about the past; moreover, this is the first book-length study of Isaac Louverture’s memoir. The two texts are read as examples of how black men thought of themselves as “men” (citizens) and, therefore, how they expressed their masculinity, at that historical moment, as experiences of mourning and loss. This study builds upon three areas of scholarship: the tradition of memoir writing; historicist readings of Toussaint’s memoir; and descriptions and theories of men and masculinity within the black Atlantic. The study distinguishes itself in ways that will make it of interest to more than just historians: in addition to using the intersection of race and masculinity as an analytical tool, it speaks to the nature of literary creativity and it draws from studies examining the relationship between history, memory, and fiction. As a result, scholars and students in literary and cultural criticism, as well as those in gender and diasporic studies, will also find this study of interest and value.
