Download or read book They Were Her Property written by Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 443 pages. 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.

Book excerpt: Are you satisfied by your job? Do you leap out of bed each morning with a song in your heart, eager to travel swiftly and painlessly to a fabulous workplace where the layout and technology are perfectly adapted to your goals and needs?Do you thrill each day to be reunited with quietly brilliant colleagues whose personalities fill you with energy and whose values are in tune with your own? Do you see precisely how your daily actions connect with your company's ultimate purpose? Do you approve of your company's purpose?What of homelife? Do you return from work each evening with time and energy to get stuck into your rewarding, creative side projects? Do you have a good grasp of the sort of "home economics" mastered by your parents' and grandparents' generations, or do you find yourself emotionally exhausted and ready for Netflix by 7pm, increasingly alienated by what is now patronisingly described as "adulting"?Don't blame yourself. Blame the whole idea of worker-consumer lifestyle. It was built on shaky foundations and is hardly all it cracked up to be.If your experience of work and consumer life is a screaming Hell of clueless, unsatisfying, underpaid, carcinogenic, insecure shambling that you never signed up for and is an affront to your years of difficult and expensive study, this book might be the helpful tome-or at least the shoulder to cry on-you've been waiting for.In Escape Everything!, ROBERT WRINGHAM showed how the worker-consumer treadmill can be escaped once and for all. Now, with The Good Life for Wage Slaves, he offers survival strategies for those who can't (or don't want to) escape. Caught up in the hostile environment for immigrants when returning from Canada to his native Britain, Wringham was forced to return to a day-job for three years. "How embarrassing," he says. He used his time as a research project-how to live well when circumstances conspire against escape-and this pithy volume is his final (final-final-final) report. It contains swearing. Also cats.

Download or read book Once We Were Slaves written by Laura Arnold Leibman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-12 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An obsessive genealogist and descendent of one of the most prominent Jewish families since the American Revolution, Blanche Moses firmly believed her maternal ancestors were Sephardic grandees. Yet she found herself at a dead end when it came to her grandmother's maternal line. Using family heirlooms to unlock the mystery of Moses's ancestors, Once We Were Slaves overturns the reclusive heiress's assumptions about her family history to reveal that her grandmother and great-uncle, Sarah and Isaac Brandon, actually began their lives as poor Christian slaves in Barbados. Tracing the siblings' extraordinary journey throughout the Atlantic World, Leibman examines artifacts they left behind in Barbados, Suriname, London, Philadelphia, and, finally, New York, to show how Sarah and Isaac were able to transform themselves and their lives, becoming free, wealthy, Jewish, and--at times--white. While their affluence made them unusual, their story mirrors that of the largely forgotten population of mixed African and Jewish ancestry that constituted as much as ten percent of the Jewish communities in which the siblings lived, and sheds new light on the fluidity of race--as well as on the role of religion in racial shift--in the first half of the nineteenth century.

Download or read book The Testimonies of Slaves written by Work Projects Administration and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-12-17 with total page 6001 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good Press presents to you this meticulously collection of hundreds of life stories, recorded interviews and incredible vivid testimonies of former slaves from the American southern states, including photos of the people being interviewed and their extraordinary narratives. After the end of Civil War in 1865, more than four million slaves were set free. There were several efforts to record the remembrances of the former slaves. The Federal Writers' Project was one such project by the United States federal government to support writers during the Great Depression by asking them to interview and record the myriad stories and experiences of slavery of former slaves. The resulting collection preserved hundreds of life stories from 17 U.S. states that would otherwise have been lost in din of modernity and America's eagerness to deliberately forget the blot on its recent past. Contents: Alabama Arkansas Florida Georgia Indiana Kansas Kentucky Maryland Mississippi Missouri North Carolina Ohio Oklahoma South Carolina Tennessee Texas Virginia
