Puynode, a French abolitionist, feeling the importance of this view, strives to show that slavery diminishes the increase of the slave population. De l'Esclavage et des Colonies, p. 35. 3 The Conquerors of the New World, and their Bondsmen, vol. ii, p. 151, gives a striking instance where several thousand Indians and fifty negroes were employed by the Spaniards in transporting the timbers for vessels across the Isthmus. The Indians perished by hundreds--not a single negro died. As early as 1511, the King of Spain directs his Colonial Governor so to act, that the Indians may increase, and not diminish, as in Hispaniola. Ibid, vol. i, p. 232. steady and remarkable increase in the slave population. From a few hundred thousand, they now number more than four millions; and, making allowance for emigration and other causes, the ratio of increase is at least equal to that of the white population of the same States.1 On the contrary, the increase among the free black population of the Northern States, notwithstanding the element of fugitives from the South, and emancipated slaves, shows a ratio of increase very inferior.2 The Census of 1850 shows, also, the fact, that the duration of life is greater among the slaves of the South, than among the free negroes of the North.3 The same unerring testimony also shows, that there are three times as many deaf mutes, four times as many blind, more than three times as many idiots, and more than ten times as many insane, in proportion to numbers, among the free colored persons, than among the slaves. The same is true of the free blacks of Liberia. Notwithstanding the constant...

This book was released on 1856 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Philadelphia judge's work is an essential reference for the library for slavery. It analyzes the law of slavery in each state, including the mid-Atlantic region; and reviews constitutional provisions bearing on slavery. The first edition, issued in 1827, is substantially updated to reflect the sea-change in Southern thinking, which now regarded slavery as a positive good rather than a necessary evil. Issued at the height of the Kansas-Nebraska controversy, its new material on slavery in the Territories, the fugitive slave laws, and slavery's interference with the First Amendment is particularly significant. A shorter, 125-page version was also issued in wrappers in 1856. -- Bookseller.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This collection brings together an eclectic range of prominent scholars in architecture, education, history, law, literary criticism, and cultural studies to explore how the field of childhood studies questions some of the most basic tenets of humanities scholarship-and to consider how these questions can bridge disciplines. Each essay pairs childhood studies with another field of inquiry to ask explicitly how foregrounding the child reorients long-established scholarly foundations in that field. Childhood studies' insistence that we need to rethink the symbolic work of the child necessarily realigns a host of other fields that, often uncritically, draw upon the false dichotomy separating the vulnerable, dependent child from the allegedly independent and autonomous adult. By complicating our assumptions about the child, we are also providing a new way of thinking through some of the most basic tenets of the humanities. Anna Mae Duane notes that much of the exciting work in the humanities seeks to recover the voices of those who have been infantilized, including women, people of color, and the GLBT community. This volume features thirteen essays by leading scholars who reveal how childhood studies offers a vital methodological and theoretical roadmap for engaging issues that are among the most important and provocative in the humanities-the recovery of colonized voices, the definition of agency, the performance of identity, and the construction of gender and race, to name a few. Each of the essays seeks to understand how rhetorical views of childhood shape views of power, politics, knowledge, and sociality"--

This book was released on 2023-09-26 with total page 567 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A prize-winning scholar draws on astonishing new research to demonstrate how Black people used the law to their advantage long before the Civil Rights Movement. The familiar story of civil rights goes like this: once, America’s legal system shut Black people out and refused to recognize their rights, their basic human dignity, or even their very lives. When lynch mobs gathered, police and judges often closed their eyes, if they didn’t join in. For Black people, law was a hostile, fearsome power to be avoided whenever possible. Then, starting in the 1940s, a few brave lawyers ventured south, bent on changing the law. Soon, ordinary African Americans, awakened by Supreme Court victories and galvanized by racial justice activists, launched the civil rights movement. In Before the Movement, acclaimed historian Dylan C. Penningroth brilliantly revises the conventional story. Drawing on long-forgotten sources found in the basements of county courthouses across the nation, Penningroth reveals that African Americans, far from being ignorant about law until the middle of the twentieth century, have thought about, talked about, and used it going as far back as even the era of slavery. They dealt constantly with the laws of property, contract, inheritance, marriage and divorce, of associations (like churches and businesses and activist groups), and more. By exercising these “rights of everyday use,” Penningroth demonstrates, they made Black rights seem unremarkable. And in innumerable subtle ways, they helped shape the law itself—the laws all of us live under today. Penningroth’s narrative, which stretches from the last decades of slavery to the 1970s, partly traces the history of his own family. Challenging accepted understandings of Black history framed by relations with white people, he puts Black people at the center of the story—their loves and anger and loneliness, their efforts to stay afloat, their mistakes and embarrassments, their fights, their ideas, their hopes and disappointments, in all their messy humanness. Before the Movement is an account of Black legal lives that looks beyond the Constitution and the criminal justice system to recover a rich, broader vision of Black life—a vision allied with, yet distinct from, “the freedom struggle.”
