Send Back the Money!: The Free Church of Scotland and American Slavery
ISBN: 9780227173893 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Send Back the Money ' is a thorough and gripping examination of a fascinating and forgotten aspect of Scottish and American relations and Church history. A seminal period of Abolition activity is exposed by Iain Whyte through a study of the fiery campaign 'Send back the Money ' named after 'the hue and cry of the day' that encapsulated the argument that divided families, communities, and the Free Church itself. This examination of the Free Church's involvement with American Presbyterianism in the nineteenth century reveals the ethical furore caused by a Church wishing to emancipate itself...

Zachary Macaulay 1768-1838: The Steadfast Scot in the British Anti-Slavery Movement
ISBN: 9781846316968 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 263 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In 1833 Thomas Fowell Buxton, the parliamentary successor to William Wilberforce, proposed a toast to 'the anti-slavery tutor of us all. - Mr. Macaulay.' Yet Zachary Macaulay's considerable contribution to the ending of slavery in the British Empire has received scant recognition by historians. This book seeks to fill that gap, focussing on his involvement with slavery and anti-slavery but also examining the people and events that influenced him in his life's work. It traces his Scottish roots and his torrid account of years as a young overseer on a Jamaican plantation. His accidental...

Scotland and the Abolition of Black Slavery, 1756-1838
ISBN: 9780748624331 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Although much has been written about Scottish involvement in slavery, the contribution of Scots to the abolition of black slavery has not yet been sufficiently recognised. This book starts with a Virginian slave seeking his freedom in Scotland in 1756 and ends with the abolition of the apprenticeship scheme in the West Indian colonies in 1838.
Contemporary documents and periodicals reveal a groundswell of revulsion to what was described as "the horrible traffik in humans." Petitions to Parliament came from remote islands in Shetland as well as from large public meetings in cities. In a...

Bruno Taut and the Architecture of Activism
ISBN: 9780521131834 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Bruno Taut was the leading architectural theorist in Germany during the years 1914 1920. The architectural and social premises which he developed in this seminal period were to be of paramount importance in the subsequent development of modern architecture in Germany in the 1920s. The German example, in turn, was to become a model for the international modern movement. Whereas the history of the modern movement in architecture has generally been written in terms of functionalism, and the availability of materials and technology, Dr Whyte suggests that many of the roots of modern architecture...
