Book Description
In a world where hypocrisy and lies were elevated to an art form masquerading as "tolerance" and "politically correctness", In Once a Slave, Always a Slave, a book written by a black to other blacks (and whites, yellows and browns), Anaya Binta, a black essayist argues that if Africa doesn't build a cognitive elite, the continent will be doomed forever. Once a Slave, Always a Slave is about slavery, history, colonization, racism and black men's incapacity to build states where most Africans would like to live, hence mass immigration from Africa to live with and obey African's former masters and complain about the racism they suffer. Once a Slave, Always a Slave is about African's favourite default mode: victimization and moral posturing and how Africans, Afro-Americans, Afro-Europeans must abandon both if they want to have meaningful changes in Africa, and in African diaspora around the world, and if they want to any chance of removing Africa's stain and its consequences in African men's lives...In Africa and all around the world. By now, of course, it should be known, that, Africa men's stain is the African Slavery that black men allowed to happenOnce a Slave, Always a Slave is a thought-provoking essay, as powerful as Aimé Césaire's "Discourse on Colonialism" and a work that may shock but which is the truth as Anaya Binta sees it, and believes All Africans should, if they want to respect the memory of those millions of Africans who were enslaved and treated as chattels.

Pages : 99
Book Description
Newbery Medal Winner: A young Louisiana boy faces the horrors of slavery when he is kidnapped and forced to work on a slave ship in this iconic novel. Thirteen-year-old Jessie Bollier earns a few pennies playing his fife on the docks of New Orleans. One night, on his way home, a canvas is thrown over his head and he’s knocked unconscious. When he wakes up, Jessie finds himself aboard a slave ship, bound for Africa. There, the Moonlight picks up ninety-eight black prisoners, and the men, women, and children, chained hand and foot, are methodically crammed into the ship’s hold. Jessie’s job is to provide music for the slaves to dance to on the ship’s deck—not for amusement but for exercise, as a way to to keep their muscles strong and their bodies profitable. Over the course of the long voyage, Jessie grows more and more sickened by the greed of the sailors and the cruelty with which the slaves are treated. But it’s one final horror, when the Moonlight nears her destination, that will change Jessie forever. Set during the middle of the nineteenth century, when the illegal slave trade was at its height, The Slave Dancer not only tells a vivid and shocking story of adventure and survival, but depicts the brutality of slavery with unflinching historical accuracy.

Once We Were Slaves
Author: Laura Arnold Leibman
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0197530494
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
An obsessive genealogist and descendent of one of the most prominent Jewish families since the American Revolution, Blanche Moses firmly believed her maternal ancestors were Sephardic grandees. Yet she found herself at a dead end when it came to her grandmother's maternal line. Using family heirlooms to unlock the mystery of Moses's ancestors, Once We Were Slaves overturns the reclusive heiress's assumptions about her family history to reveal that her grandmother and great-uncle, Sarah and Isaac Brandon, actually began their lives as poor Christian slaves in Barbados. Tracing the siblings' extraordinary journey throughout the Atlantic World, Leibman examines artifacts they left behind in Barbados, Suriname, London, Philadelphia, and, finally, New York, to show how Sarah and Isaac were able to transform themselves and their lives, becoming free, wealthy, Jewish, and--at times--white. While their affluence made them unusual, their story mirrors that of the largely forgotten population of mixed African and Jewish ancestry that constituted as much as ten percent of the Jewish communities in which the siblings lived, and sheds new light on the fluidity of race--as well as on the role of religion in racial shift--in the first half of the nineteenth century.

The Slave's Narrative
Author: Henry Louis Gates
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 0195066561
Category : American prose literature
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
The autobiographical narratives of black ex-slaves published in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries constitute the largest body of literature produced by slaves in human history. Black slaves in the New World created a veritable "literature of escape" depicting the overwhelming horrors of human bondage. These narratives served the abolitionist movement not only as evidence of the slaves' degradation but also of their "intellectual capacity." Accordingly, this literature has elicited a wealth of analysis- and controversy- from its initial publication right up to our day. This volume charts the response to the black slave's narrative from 1750 to the present. The book consists of three sections: selected reviews of slave narratives, dating from 1750 to 1861; essays examining how such narratives serve as historical material; and essays exploring the narratives as literary artifacts.
