Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Voice From the South It is because I'believe the American people to be conscientiously committedato a fair trial and ungarbled evidence, and because I feel it essential to a perfect understanding and an equitable verdict that truth from each stand point be presented at the bar, - that this little voice has been added to the already full chorus. The other side has not been represented by one who lives there. And not many can more sensibly realize and more accurately tell the weight and the fret, of the long dull pain than the open-eyed but hitherto voice less Black Woman of America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Voice from the South was published in 1892 by Anna Julia Cooper, an educator who was one of the first two African-American women to be awarded a master’s degree. Since then it has been recognized as one of the first works of Black feminist theory. Setting forth a perspective that would be described as “intersectional” in contemporary terms, Cooper explores her own lived experience as an educated African-American woman, and advocates for the education of African-American women as a necessary means of achieving racial equality. However, her marked emphasis on women’s roles in the household has been critiqued by later theorists as a concession to the 19th century “cult of domesticity”—or, alternatively, a strategic engagement with the dominant cultural view towards women in her time. A Voice from the South continues to be read and analyzed today for its pioneering role in African-American female scholarship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Voice of the South Another scene, too, connected inseparably with that radiant afternoon returned to me. Standing in the river-bed of the oued-biskra with my back towards the desert I had looked northwards. Among the boulders that mirrored themselves in the stream were two Arab boys. Overhead, a palm-tree bent above the water and gazed at itself in the little pools that lay arrested among the rocks. In the background the scene opened, not with the sheer abruptness, the brusque violence, of the cleft as seen from el-kantara, but with. A gentle suavity of introduction, leading the eye along shining water-ways, between lines of palms, onwards, up wards, to where, in the blue of the distance, the hills slept in a mantle of sunbeams. Slowly we left Biskra behind us. Life was beginning to awake in the drowsy streets - a dog crept from under a clump of aloes, a child watched us from behind a cactus hedge - while overhead in the clear spaces of the sky a band of swallows wheeled ceaselessly.

Download or read book The Voice of Anna Julia Cooper written by Anna J. Cooper and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently Anna Julia Cooper has emerged as the most important classic writer in the tradition of African American feminist thought. Mary Helen Washington described Cooper's work as "the most precise, forceful, well-argued statement of black feminist thought to come out of the nineteenth century." This is the first collection of all of Cooper's major writings, including many never before published. It includes all of the essays from her famous book, A Voice from the South, in addition to many other essays and letters accessible only in archives until now. The organization of this important new collection lends itself to a clearer understanding of the major themes and contributions of Cooper's thought, her development as a thinker and writer, and the critiques and controversies surrounding her work. Lemert and Bhan introduce Cooper as an activist, settlement founder, school teacher, college president, linguist, and scholar—a life that paralleled the prodigious accomplishments of W.E.B. Du Bois in so many ways.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Voice From South America First then, with respect to education, - and I would here premise, that it would be as unfair, as it would be unwise, to compare the progress of the countries we are Speaking of, with that of any of the settled States of Europe or North America. The circum stances Of South America are peculiar she has had much to struggle against. During the dominion Of Spain, which continued for about three centuries, no encouragement was given to the Creole population, to make any advances in mental improvement, in consequence of the monopolies and reservations in favour of her European subjects. NO sooner was the colossal power of Spaininthe Indies shaken to its centre, than a host of sovereign states emerged from the wreck. Private jealousies, and public feuds, like rank weeds in a neglected soil, were immediately engendered, and it has too tre quently happened that, instead of mutually assisting each other, when that friendly aid was most needed.

Download or read book Man from the South A Roald Dahl Short Story written by Roald Dahl and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Man from the South is a short, sharp, chilling story from Roald Dahl, the master of the shocking tale. In Man from the South, Roald Dahl, one of the world's favourite authors, tells a sinister story about the darker side of human nature. Here, a man takes part in a very unusual bet, one with appalling consequences . . . Man from the South is taken from the short story collection Someone Like You, which includes seventeen other devious and shocking stories, featuring the wife who serves a dish that baffles the police; a curious machine that reveals the horrifying truth about plants; the man waiting to be bitten by the venomous snake asleep on his stomach; and others. 'The absolute master of the twist in the tale.' (Observer ) This story is also available as a Penguin digital audio download read by Stephen Mangan. Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, and many more classics for children, also wrote scores of short stories for adults. These delightfully disturbing tales have often been filmed and were most recently the inspiration for the West End play, Roald Dahl's Twisted Tales by Jeremy Dyson. Roald Dahl's stories continue to make readers shiver today.
Download or read book Exit Voice and Loyalty written by Albert O. Hirschman and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1970 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An innovator in contemporary thought on economic and political development looks here at decline rather than growth. Albert O. Hirschman makes a basic distinction between alternative ways of reacting to deterioration in business firms and, in general, to dissatisfaction with organizations: one, “exit,” is for the member to quit the organization or for the customer to switch to the competing product, and the other, “voice,” is for members or customers to agitate and exert influence for change “from within.” The efficiency of the competitive mechanism, with its total reliance on exit, is questioned for certain important situations. As exit often undercuts voice while being unable to counteract decline, loyalty is seen in the function of retarding exit and of permitting voice to play its proper role. The interplay of the three concepts turns out to illuminate a wide range of economic, social, and political phenomena. As the author states in the preface, “having found my own unifying way of looking at issues as diverse as competition and the two-party system, divorce and the American character, black power and the failure of ‘unhappy’ top officials to resign over Vietnam, I decided to let myself go a little.”

Massachusetts may well be considered the mother of Abolitionism; indeed _her State Abolition Society lays claim to this honor for her; and no one will dispute it with her. She has been the most restless agitator upon this subject by far, of any State in the Union. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: First published in 1963, James Baldwin's A Fire Next Time stabbed at the heart of America's so-called ldquo;Negro problemrdquo;. As remarkable for its masterful prose as it is for its uncompromising account of black experience in the United States, it is considered to this day one of the most articulate and influential expressions of 1960s race relations. The book consists of two essays, ldquo;My Dungeon Shook mdash; Letter to my Nephew on the One Hundredth Anniversary of Emancipation,rdquo; and ldquo;Down At The Cross mdash; Letter from a Region of My Mind.rdquo; It weaves thematic threads of love, faith, and family into a candid assault on the hypocrisy of the so-say ldquo;land of the freerdquo;, insisting on the inequality implicit to American society. ldquo;You were born where you were born and faced the future that you facedrdquo;, Baldwin writes to his nephew, ldquo;because you were black and for no other reason.rdquo; His profound sense of injustice is matched by a robust belief in ldquo;monumental dignityrdquo;, in patience, empathy, and the possibility of transforming America into ldquo;what America must become.rdquo;
