Author: Rosemary T. Curran
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
At the end of the 1830s the abolitionist sisters Sarah and Angelina Grimké, along with Angelina’s new husband, Theodore Weld, begin collecting first-hand accounts of the horrors of slavery and publishing them in American Slavery as It Is. The success of the book helps to move northern opinion against slavery. But the birth of children and the challenges of domestic lives mean the sisters set aside their public roles as voices against slavery and for women’s rights. Turning inward sets the sisters into painful conflict with each other. Teens Archibald and Francis Grimké, sons of Angelina and Sarah’s brother, Henry Grimké and his colored mistress, Nancy Weston, have barely survived the unspeakable hardships of slavery. They make their way to freedom in the North, but education proves elusive. Eventually their excellence as students at Lincoln University leads to their surprising revelation to their abolitionist aunts. At Harvard Law and at Princeton Theological, the young men embark on difficult but illustrious careers. But the end of Reconstruction means a renewed struggle for African American freedom and rights. The romantic and domestic heartbreaks of Archie and Frank are intertwined with their lifelong struggle for the survival and equal rights of their people.

Theophylline

Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
What is breath for? What is archive? Why write a poem, instead of... something else? Theophylline is a work of poetry motivated by asthma, seeking poetry’s futurity in a queer and female heritage. Moure crosses a border to engage the poetry of three American modernists—Muriel Rukeyser, Elizabeth Bishop, and Angelina Weld Grimké—as a translator might enter work to translate it. But what if that work is already in English? I looked for women who had made and were formed by migrations, and who were in some way marked ‘qustionably’ by the socius, and I examined what I could of the forms and shapes of their migrations—

A Queer Capital
Author: Genny Beemyn
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317819381
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
Rooted in extensive archival research and personal interviews, A Queer Capital is the first history of LGBT life in the nation’s capital. Revealing a vibrant past that dates back more than 125 years, the book explores how lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals established spaces of their own before and after World War II, survived some of the harshest anti-gay campaigns in the U.S., and organized to demand equal treatment. Telling the stories of black and white gay communities and individuals, Genny Beemyn shows how race, gender, and class shaped the construction of gay social worlds in a racially segregated city. From the turn of the twentieth century through the 1980s, Beemyn explores the experiences of gay people in Washington, showing how they created their own communities, fought for their rights, and, in the process, helped to change the country. Combining rich personal stories with keen historical analysis, A Queer Capital provides insights into LGBT life, the history of Washington, D.C., and African American life and culture in the twentieth century.
