Book Description
THE SEA PEARL is an exciting tale from the days of piracy on the High Seas. Read of the Wildest, Wickedest Port on Earth, where once gold, ivory and pearls changed hands by the basketful. Once there was a legend that claimed on still nights when the sea is calm, a mellow resonance of a bell calls out from the depths. Some say it is the golden bell of THE SEA PEARL. Others believe it is the bell of St. Paulâ¿¿s Cathedral, also swept away. It has also been said that when mists are across the waters a phantom ship can be seen, mermaid on its bow, sails unfurled. Upon its deck stand a young man and his lady in passionate embrace.

A Gift of the Spirit
Author: Eugene Victor Wolfenstein
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501719580
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
In A Gift of the Spirit, Eugene Victor Wolfenstein offers a reading of W. E. B. Du Bois's The Souls of Black Folk aimed at demonstrating its organic unity and coherence. He takes as his interpretive key the experience of the color line with which Du Bois's narrative begins—the incident from his youth in which a white girl refused his offer of a visiting card. Wolfenstein contends that this instance of misrecognition makes visible an aesthetic and affective configuration involving insult and injury, both racial and personal; anger as the immediate response to the humiliating wound; and, when that anger is suppressed, a melancholy retreat from the site of injury. As Wolfenstein reconstructs it, Souls tells the story of Du Bois's twofold approach to waging the battle for recognition: proud and disciplined resistance to the impositions and injustices of white supremacy; and the development of an intellectual station above the field of battle, where it could be surveyed from on high.With its serious and respectful approach to this canonical work in African American social theory, A Gift of the Spirit is a fitting tribute to the enduring relevance of Du Bois's singular achievement.

Languages : en
Pages : 395
Book Description
Neither Bond Nor Free draws heavily on real events and from the lives of historical figures to weave a tale of suffering and redemption in antebellum America. Across a violent landscape of virulent racial prejudice and hatred pitted against the aid and protection of free black communities and abolitionists of the Underground Railroad, self-emancipated refugees from the South’s Peculiar Institution navigate their way north to freedom in Canada. One highly literate mulatto’s escape from slavery intersects closely with the lives of free blacks and Quakers in a small Indiana community until the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 shatters his hopes but not his indomitable desire to be free. In his adventures and struggle to fully secure his freedom, he makes surprising discoveries about the nature of suffering and his own humanity.
