A Lydia Maria Child Reader
ISBN: 9780822319542 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. From the 1820s to the 1870s, Lydia Maria Child was as familiar to the American public as her Thanksgiving song, "Over the river and through the wood, / To grandfather s house we go," remains today. Hardly a sphere of nineteenth-century life can be found in which Child did not figure prominently as a pathbreaker. She crusaded against slavery and racism, combated religious bigotry, championed women s rights, publicized the plight of the urban poor, and campaigned for justice toward Native Americans. Showing an uncanny ability to pinpoint and respond to new cultural needs, Child pioneered almost...

A Refugee from His Race: Albion W. Tourgée and His Fight against White Supremacy
ISBN: 9781469627953 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. During one of the darkest periods of U.S. history, when white supremacy was entrenching itself throughout the nation, the white writer-jurist-activist Albion W. Tourgee (1838-1905) forged an extraordinary alliance with African Americans. Acclaimed by blacks as "one of the best friends of the Afro-American people this country has ever produced" and reviled by white Southerners as a race traitor, Tourgee offers an ideal lens through which to reexamine the often caricatured relations between progressive whites and African Americans. He collaborated closely with African Americans in founding an...
