Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in History: a bold and searing investigation into the role of white women in the American slave economy “Stunning.”—Rebecca Onion, Slate “Makes a vital contribution to our understanding of our past and present.”—Parul Sehgal, New York Times “Bracingly revisionist. . . . [A] startling corrective.”—Nicholas Guyatt, New York Review of Books Bridging women’s history, the history of the South, and African American history, this book makes a bold argument about the role of white women in American slavery. Historian Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers draws on a variety of sources to show that slave‑owning women were sophisticated economic actors who directly engaged in and benefited from the South’s slave market. Because women typically inherited more slaves than land, enslaved people were often their primary source of wealth. Not only did white women often refuse to cede ownership of their slaves to their husbands, they employed management techniques that were as effective and brutal as those used by slave‑owning men. White women actively participated in the slave market, profited from it, and used it for economic and social empowerment. By examining the economically entangled lives of enslaved people and slave‑owning women, Jones-Rogers presents a narrative that forces us to rethink the economics and social conventions of slaveholding America.

Download or read book Slavery and Islam written by Jonathan A.C. Brown and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-03-05 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when authorities you venerate condone something you know is wrong? Every major religion and philosophy once condoned or approved of slavery, but in modern times nothing is seen as more evil. Americans confront this crisis of authority when they erect statues of Founding Fathers who slept with their slaves. And Muslims faced it when ISIS revived sex slavery, justifying it with verses from the Quran and the practice of Muhammad. Exploring the moral and ultimately theological problem of slavery, Jonathan A.C. Brown traces how the Christian, Jewish and Islamic traditions have tried to reconcile modern moral certainties with the infallibility of God’s message. He lays out how Islam viewed slavery in theory, and the reality of how it was practiced across Islamic civilization. Finally, Brown carefully examines arguments put forward by Muslims for the abolition of slavery.

Download or read book The Economy and Material Culture of Slaves written by Roderick Alexander McDonald and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pioneering study examines in extensive detail the economies and material cultures that slaves built among themselves in two of the most heavily developed plantation regions in the Americas. Focusing on two geographical areas that led in the production of sugar - Jamaica in the eighteenth century and Louisiana in the mid-nineteenth century - Roderick A. McDonald presents a fascinating picture of the resourceful efforts slaves on sugar plantations made to better their circumstances under working conditions that were among the most taxing endured by slaves anywhere. McDonald draws on a wide range of primary documents in repositories in the United States, Jamaica, and Great Britain to show that the slaves had well-developed and integrated economic systems that let them accumulate and dispose of capital and property within economies they themselves created and administered. Their economic systems were probably in operation on every sugar estate in Jamaica and Louisiana, with an importance far outweighing the often limited pecuniary benefits the slaves realized. The slaves' internal economy not only reflected the ways they earned and spent money but also influenced the character and evolution of their family and community life, and the quality of their material culture. The author describes the products the slaves sold - which ranged from the crops they raised on small plots that the landowners provided for their private use to raw materials such as Spanish moss and handcrafted items like baskets and pottery - as well as the goods the slaves purchased. He also discusses the role the slave economy played in the larger economy of the two plantation regions, not only the uses the plantersmade of slave-produced materials but also the agreements, whether tacit or formalized by custom or legal recognition, between planters and slaves that allowed and encouraged a degree of economic independence on the slaves' part. By comparing the slave economies of two regions similar in staple crops but dissimilar in political systems, McDonald reaches conclusions about the realities of slave life and the nature of plantation economies based on slave labor. What he finds is that despite the brutalities and restrictions of bondage, many slaves were able to wrest from their masters a certain independence that mitigated, to a degree, the harshness of their servitude and to develop skills that after emancipation served a large number of them well.

Book excerpt: “They were of two sorts, first such as were brought over by masters of ships to be sold as servants. Such as we call them my dear,’ says she, ‘but they are more properly called slaves.” —Daniel Defoe, Moll Flanders. This history of White people has never been told in any coherent form, mainly because most modern historians have, for reasons of politics or psychology, refused to recognise White enslaved people in early America as just that. Today, not a tear is shed for the sufferings of millions of enslaved white people. 200 years of White slavery in America have been almost completely obliterated from the collective memory of the American people. Who wants to be reminded that half—perhaps as many as thirds—of the original American colonists came here, not of their own free will, but kidnapped, shanghaied, impressed, duped, seduced, and yes, in chains?... we tend to gloss over it... we’d prefer to forget the whole sorry chapter... “(Elaine Kendall, Los Angeles Times, Sept. 1, 1985). A correct understanding of the authentic history of the enslavement of Whites in America could have profound consequences for the future of the races: “We cannot be sure that the position of the earliest Africans differed markedly from that of the white indentured servants.

Download or read book Arguing about Slavery written by William Lee Miller and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1998-01-12 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1830s slavery was so deeply entrenched that it could not even be discussed in Congress, which had enacted a "gag rule" to ensure that anti-slavery petitions would be summarily rejected. This stirring book chronicles the parliamentary battle to bring "the peculiar institution" into the national debate, a battle that some historians have called "the Pearl Harbor of the slavery controversy." The campaign to make slavery officially and respectably debatable was waged by John Quincy Adams who spent nine years defying gags, accusations of treason, and assassination threats. In the end he made his case through a combination of cunning and sheer endurance. Telling this story with a brilliant command of detail, Arguing About Slavery endows history with majestic sweep, heroism, and moral weight. "Dramatic, immediate, intensely readable, fascinating and often moving."--New York Times Book Review
