The Narrative of Bethany Veney, a Slave Woman (Classic Reprint)
Author: Bethany Veney
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780243301690
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 50
Book Description
Excerpt from The Narrative of Bethany Veney, a Slave Woman Already, this fact in our national history is largely overlooked and to the generation now coming upon the stage of action is almost unknown. Compared with the lives of many of her class, Betty's was uneventful. Yet in it was much of tragic adventure and tender pathos. Her endurance under hardship, her fidelity to trust, and, withal, her religious faith, commend her as a fit subject, not only to impress the lesson of Slavery in the past, but to inspire and deepen a sense of responsibility toward the wronged and perse outed race which She represents. Beyond these considerations is this: her days have already far outrun the allotted threescore years and ten, and her natural strength is much abated. If sold, these pages may help to render her declining years easier and freer from care. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Sexual Violence and American Slavery
Author: Shannon Eaves
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469678829
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 153
Book Description
It is impossible to separate histories of sexual violence and the enslavement of Black women in the antebellum South. Rape permeated the lives of all who existed in that system: Black and white, male and female, adult and child, enslaved and free. Shannon C. Eaves unflinchingly investigates how both enslaved people and their enslavers experienced the systematic rape and sexual exploitation of bondswomen and came to understand what this culture of sexualized violence meant for themselves and others. Eaves mines a wealth of primary sources including autobiographies, diaries, court records, and more to show that rape and other forms of sexual exploitation entangled slaves and slave owners in battles over power to protect oneself and one's community, power to avenge hurt and humiliation, and power to punish and eliminate future threats. By placing sexual violence at the center of the systems of power and culture, Eaves shows how the South's rape culture was revealed in enslaved people's and their enslavers' interactions with one another and with members of their respective communities.
