The Harem, Slavery and British Imperial Culture: Anglo-Muslim Relations in the Late Nineteenth Century
ISBN: 9780719073298 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book focuses on British efforts to suppress the traffic in female slaves destined for Egyptian harems during the late-nineteenth century. It considers this campaign in relation to gender debates in England, and examines the ways in which the assumptions and dominant imperialist discourses of these abolitionists were challenged by the newly-established Muslim communities in England, as well as by English people who converted to or were sympathetic with Islam. While previous scholars have treated antislavery activity in Egypt first and foremost as an extension of earlier efforts to abolish...

The Book: Beautiful Sedition
ISBN: 9781478727521 / Angielski / Miękka / 680 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There has been a war against the American people for many decades. These aggressors are not camped out in some far away land with heat and sand or jungle and vicious insects but rather they are in corporate board rooms and in penthouse apartments; some even sit in elected offices wearing an American flag pin, all the while plotting to further destroy the principals that we once stood for as a nation. This war is to eradicate the fundamental principles that our forefathers both rich and poor sacrificed and risked everything to birth our nation. This book will cover much of the assaults against...

Through Afro-America: An English Reading of the Race Problem
ISBN: 9781450582568 / Angielski / Miękka / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "THE problem of the twentieth century," says Mr. W. B. Du Bois, "is the problem of the colour line." That, no doubt, is the view of a man born "within the veil"; but, whatever our point of view, we cannot but admit that racial adjustment is one of the two or three most urgent problems of the near future. Ought the colour-lines drawn by Nature to be enforced by human ordinance, and even by geo graphical segregation? Or ought they to be gradually obliterated by free intermingling and intermarriage? Or, while intermarriage is for bidden (whether by law or public sentiment), is it possible for...

The Perkins' family story is a microcosm of stages in the development of not only Southern colonial America, but also the developed United States. With its colonial genesis rooted in indentured servitude, first as servants, then later as masters, the Perkins family rose to heights unattainable to them in a rigidly structured seventeenth and eighteenth century English society. As entrepreneurs and landed Southern colonial planters, they first acquired white servants, then Negro slaves, and eventually the affluence and privilege which rewarded their energy and determination. Separation from the...

ISBN: 9781497443129 / Angielski / Miękka / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Slavery has existed in one form or another throughout recorded history. And while many races and nationalities have been victims of this abhorrent practice around the world, this "peculiar institution," as it was called in the United States, is particularly tragic inasmuch as our country was founded on the principle of equality for all. Since the Reconstruction, we've struggled with the embarrassing legacy of our forefathers. But as our lands fill with immigrants and generations far separated from the era who bear no responsibility for the crimes of the past century it's important to face the...

Slavery Before Race: Europeans, Africans, and Indians at Long Island's Sylvester Manor Plantation, 1651-1884
ISBN: 9781479802227 / Angielski / Miękka / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The study of slavery in the Americas generally assumes a basic racial hierarchy: Africans or those of African descent are usually the slaves, and white people usually the slaveholders. In this unique interdisciplinary work of historical archaeology, anthropologist Katherine Hayes draws on years of fieldwork on Shelter Island's Sylvester Manor to demonstrate how racial identity was constructed and lived before plantation slavery was racialized by the legal codification of races. Using the historic Sylvester Manor Plantation site turned archaeological dig as a case study, Hayes draws...

Punishment in Paradise: Race, Slavery, Human Rights, and a Nineteenth-Century Brazilian Penal Colony
ISBN: 9780822358305 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Throughout the nineteenth century the idyllic island of Fernando de Noronha, which lies two hundred miles off Brazil's northeastern coast, was home to Brazil's largest forced labor penal colony. In Punishment in Paradise Peter M.
