A9781433101588Hardback. New. Since her forced migration to the United States the African American woman has consciously developed a literary tradition based on fundamental evolutionary principles of mind and body. She has consistently resisted attempts by patriarchs and matriarchs alike to romanticize and redefine that biologically-based literary heritage. This volume of ten classic texts including such nineteenth-century writers as Jarena Lee Harriet Jacobs and Angelina Grimké documents for teachers and general readers how African American female self-portraits gradually crystallized over some three centuries of brutality imposed by white men and their surrogates who legally raped and then branded her immoral precisely because she was black and female. This anthology also explores how her literary features were further defined during the postbellum era of Jim Crow segregation and civil rights abuses. Readers cannot adequately understand this woman’s unique story without learning how and more importantly why mental and physical atrocities so gruesome that most people cringe to think of them were inflicted upon her black female self in this land. hardcover
A9781433100680Hardback. New. <i>Race Riots and Resistance</i> uncovers a long-hidden tragic chapter of American history. Focusing on the «Red Summer» of 1919 in which black communities were targeted by white mobs the book examines the contexts out of which white racial violence arose. It shows how the riots transcended any particularity of cause and in doing so calls into question many longstanding beliefs about racial violence. The book goes on to portray the riots as a phenomenon documenting the number of incidents describing the events in detail and analyzing the patterns that emerge from looking at the riots collectively. Finally and significantly <i>Race Riots and Resistance</i> argues that the response to the riots marked an early stage of what came to be known as the Civil Rights Movement. hardcover
