Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a collection of stories, events, and incidents that Master Chief Petty Office was present or received firsthand knowledge of those present at the time they occurred. The collection of stores reflects the American society at the time these sailors served on active duty in the United States Navy. Times and attitudes have changed over the years, and it may be easy to judge them by todays standards, but those same standards were not at the time. I am aware that today, commanding officers of United States ships do not have the same judgmental options and authority as they did in the past. Therefore, many of the incidents if occurred today would result in court-martials and discharges from the service. Sailors walk in the footsteps of the sailors before them. The navy is tradition; therefore, sailors today think in some ways that they have to do as the sailors before them. To wearing the white hat on the back of the heads, create wings on the brim of covers, and to be a little mischief on libertyto many, this is what they think is what a sailors doeswork hard at sea, see the world, pull into a liberty port, see the sites, enjoy meeting the people, drink and have fun. Keep in mind as you read these stores, these are sailors that not only served their country, also made history. The sailors that are in the navy today are making history, one day at a time that will be in history books of the future. The highest form of respect that you can give any individuals that goes to sea is to call them a sailor or a shipmate. I, Master Chief Petty Officer Howard, wish all my follow sailors and shipmatesfair winds and smooth seas.

Download or read book The Conjure Woman and Other Conjure Tales written by Charles Waddell Chesnutt and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories in The Conjure Woman were Charles W. Chesnutt's first great literary success, and since their initial publication in 1899 they have come to be seen as some of the most remarkable works of African American literature from the Emancipation through the Harlem Renaissance. Lesser known, though, is that the The Conjure Woman, as first published by Houghton Mifflin, was not wholly Chesnutt's creation but a work shaped and selected by his editors. This edition reassembles for the first time all of Chesnutt's work in the conjure tale genre, the entire imaginative feat of which the published Conjure Woman forms a part. It allows the reader to see how the original volume was created, how an African American author negotiated with the tastes of the dominant literary culture of the late nineteenth century, and how that culture both promoted and delimited his work. In the tradition of Uncle Remus, the conjure tale listens in on a poor black southerner, speaking strong dialect, as he recounts a local incident to a transplanted northerner for the northerner's enlightenment and edification. But in Chesnutt's hands the tradition is transformed. No longer a reactionary flight of nostalgia for the antebellum South, the stories in this book celebrate and at the same time question the folk culture they so pungently portray, and ultimately convey the pleasures and anxieties of a world in transition. Written in the late nineteenth century, a time of enormous growth and change for a country only recently reunited in peace, these stories act as the uneasy meeting ground for the culture of northern capitalism, professionalism, and Christianity and the underdeveloped southern economy, a kind of colonial Third World whose power is manifest in life charms, magic spells, and ha'nts, all embodied by the ruling figure of the conjure woman. Humorous, heart-breaking, lyrical, and wise, these stories make clear why the fiction of Charles W. Chesnutt has continued to captivate audiences for a century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Conjure Woman is a collection of fantastical stories narrated by Julius, a former slave, about life on the nearby plantations prior to the Civil War. Each involves an element of magic, be it a vine that dooms those who eat from it or a man transformed into a tree to avoid being separated from his wife. Julius’s audience, a married couple who have just moved to the South to cultivate grapes, listen on with mixed sympathy and disbelief. They disagree on whether Julius is telling the truth and whether there is some deeper significance to the tales. At turns humorous and unsettling, these stories provide a surprising lens into the realities of slavery. The text is notable for spelling out Julius’s spoken accent. Although Julius has some stereotypical features of a simple-minded old slave, he is often regarded as a more clever and complicated figure. He seems to tell his tales not only to entertain his listeners, but to trick them to his advantage. Many of these stories first appeared in national magazines, where they received popular acclaim, before being assembled as their own volume in 1899. Charles W. Chesnutt’s race was not mentioned by the publisher, nor could many guess his African heritage based on his appearance. However, Chesnutt embraced his African-American identity and was a prominent activist for black rights. The Conjure Woman, his first book, is considered an important early work of African-American fiction. This edition includes four additional Julius tales that appeared in magazines but were not collected during Chesnutt’s lifetime.
