Chocolate and Blackness
Author: Silke Hackenesch
Publisher: Campus Verlag
ISBN: 3593507765
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
This book draws out a number of unexpected connections between chocolate and blackness as both idea and reality. Silke Hackenesch builds her argument around four main focal points. First is the modes of production of chocolate--the economic realities of the business and the material connection between blackness and chocolate. Second is the semantics of chocolate, while its iconography is analyzed third. Finally, she addresses the use of chocolate as a racial signifier, showing that it is deployed differently by African Americans and Afro-Germans, for example.

Politics without Parliaments
Author: Esther S. Cope
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 104005031X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
First published in 1987 Politics without Parliaments discusses the period 1629-40 which preceded the English Civil wars. It focuses on the responses of local leaders in the towns and counties to the personal rule of Charles I who dissolved parliament in 1629. It describes their reactions to his religious, military, and fiscal policies and the men and measures associated with him. Charles 's efforts to force the Scots accept the new prayerbook alarmed people in England and brought them to new levels of political activity which culminated in the petitions and protests of the summer of 1640. By late September Charles yielded to the pressure and announced that he would summon a parliament to meet in November. Based on extensive research in local records and family papers, this book provides a new and comprehensive understanding of responses to Charles I’s non parliamentary governments. Professor Cope concentrates on the country rather than the court and argues that throughout this period the local leaders did not forsake politics. This book provides students and scholars of seventeenth century history with new insights into the background to the English civil wars in the 1640s.

Founding Gardeners
Author: Andrea Wulf
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307390683
Category : Gardening
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
A groundbreaking look at the Founding Fathers and their obsession with gardening, agriculture, and botany by the author of Magnificent Rebels and New York Times bestseller The Invention of Nature. • “Illuminating and engrossing.” —The New York Times Book Review For the Founding Fathers, gardening, agriculture, and botany were elemental passions: a conjoined interest as deeply ingrained in their characters as the battle for liberty and a belief in the greatness of their new nation. Founding Gardeners is an exploration of that obsession, telling the story of the revolutionary generation from the unique perspective of their lives as gardeners, plant hobbyists, and farmers. Acclaimed historian Andrea Wulf describes how George Washington wrote letters to his estate manager even as British warships gathered off Staten Island; how a tour of English gardens renewed Thomas Jefferson’s and John Adams’s faith in their fledgling nation; and why James Madison is the forgotten father of environmentalism. Through these and other stories, Wulf reveals a fresh, nuanced portrait of the men who created our nation.
