Dixie Be Damned
Author: Neal Shirley
Publisher: AK Press
ISBN: 1849352089
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
In 1891, when coal companies in eastern Tennessee brought in cheap convict labor to take over their jobs, workers responded by storming the stockades, freeing the prisoners, and loading them onto freight trains. Over the next year, tactics escalated to include burning company property and looting company stores. This was one of the largest insurrections in US working-class history. It happened at the same time as the widely publicized northern labor war in Homestead, Pennsylvania. And it was largely ignored, then and now. Dixie Be Damned engages seven similarly "hidden" insurrectionary episodes in Southern history to demonstrate the region's long arc of revolt. Countering images of the South as pacified and conservative, this adventurous retelling presents history in the rough. Not the image of the South many expect, this is the South of maroon rebellion, wildcat strikes, and Robert F. Williams's book Negroes with Guns, a South where the dispossessed refuse to quietly suffer their fate. This is people's history at its best: slave revolts, multiracial banditry, labor battles, prison uprisings, urban riots, and more. Neal Shirley grew up in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and now lives in Durham, NC, where he is involved in several anti-prison initiatives and runs a small publishing project called the North Carolina Piece Corps. Saralee Stafford was born in the Piedmont of North Carolina. Her recent political work has focused on connecting the struggles of street organizations with those of anarchists in the area. She teaches gender-related health in Durham, North Carolina.

Death Was My Next Step
Author: Dixie Pebworth

ISBN: 9780988928183
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
"I sentence you to a total of eighty years in the Department of Corrections. " The judge struck the desk with his gavel. Considered hopeless by the court system and labeled by society as worthless, twenty-four-year-old Dixie Pebworth was banished to a prison yard that was labeled in the 1980's as a "gladiator school." Odds were that Dixie would never get out of prison alive. But, God looked at his heart. Following a series of miracles, Dixie walked out of prison a free man. The greatest miracle is how God took a child raised by the streets - who had not been fortunate enough to have been taught morals and values - and transformed him spiritually, mentally, and physically into a man who is reaching thousands with the good news of God's love. If you feel that you or someone you love is in a hopeless situation, this book will give you hope. If you feel abandoned, this book will help you know you're not alone. If you wonder if people can ever "really" change, this book will surprise and inspire you to believe that God can change anyone whose heart seeks after Him. THIS STORY MAY CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
