Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Synopsis for Jubilation Deferred The story begins with the two brothers decision to purchase land in the distant Mississippi Delta. Here they would seek their fortunes in farming the highly profitable cotton fields and thereby join in the wealthy agrarian base of the British Industrial Revolution. The principal advisories were believed to originate not from the unforgiving misqueto or the heat or the annual per-pound price of their produce but in the existing battle of dominance of the slave ambition. While this story centers on the savagery bestowed on the slave, it also attempts to demonstrate the shallow lives of the plantation owners as uninhibited, strong-willed malevolence. I believe you will find this story a great read. As for conclusions, this author cannot recognize conclusions to an ongoing struggle. Advancements, yes, but not to the degree of acceptance of this African American generation as compared to other races that have recently ascended our shores, thus establishing the major point of view: jubilation deferred. The story contains the slaves long-held belief that through the years of harsh treatment, their god was watching over them. This truth is verified in what you will find as a surprise ending to this fantasia. Thomas Hill

  • Author : Julie Buckler
  • Publisher : Northwestern University Press
  • Release : 2013-08-31
  • ISBN : 0810166593
  • Pages : 349 pages

Download or read book Rites of Place written by Julie Buckler and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2013-08-31 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ranging widely across time and geography, Rites of Place is to date the most comprehensive and diverse example of memory studies in the field of Russian and East European studies. Leading scholars consider how public rituals and the commemoration of historically significant sites facilitate a sense of community, shape cultural identity, and promote political ideologies. The aims of this volume take on unique importance in the context of the tumultuous events that have marked Eastern European history—especially the revolutions of 1905 and 1917, World War II, and the collapse of the Soviet Union. With essays on topics such as the founding of St. Petersburg, the battle of Borodino, the Katyn massacre, and the Lenin cult, this volume offers a rich discussion of the uses and abuses of memory in cultures where national identity has repeatedly undergone dramatic shifts and remains riven by internal contradictions.

Book Revolutionary Aftereffects

  • Author : Megan Swift
  • Publisher : University of Toronto Press
  • Release : 2022-05-30
  • ISBN : 1487529589
  • Pages : 309 pages

Download or read book Revolutionary Aftereffects written by Megan Swift and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2022-05-30 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty years after the fall of the Soviet Union, the 1917 Revolution still looms large: not only because Russians remain divided over whether the revolution arrived forcibly or inevitably and whether it was a colossally tragic or colossally generative event, but also because its social, cultural, scientific, and even moral residues remain everywhere in Putin’s Russia. Revolutionary Aftereffects looks at the ways in which 1917 has been and continues to be commemorated in Russia. Although post-Soviet Russia has emphasized its complete break with the past, this study of the memorialization and legacy of 1917 explores a fundamental continuity underlying an apparent discourse of discontinuity in post-socialist Russia. Contributors provide insight into the continuing reverberations of the revolution from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, including history and literary studies as well as heritage studies, anthropology, geography, and sociology. Collectively, these essays demonstrate the changing nature of the revolution’s memorialization in the Soviet Union and post-Soviet Russia and the ambivalence and contradictions within those narratives.
