Tales From The Lands Of Nuts And Grapes (Spanish And Portuguese
Folklore) - By Charles Sellers - PREFACE - FIRMLY believe that the
following tales have never seen the light of publicity. They are
the folklore of Spain and Portugal. Since the day when Hernando del
Castillo, published sorne of the romances of Spanish chivalry
collected from the people, varios works have appeared at different
times, adding to the already rich store from that inexhaustible
mine of song and story. But, unfortunately for those who appreciate
originality in a people, it was discoverecl that Boccaccio had been
most unceremoniously plagiarized, and, what was still worse, that
his defects had not been avoided. The Decameron has, in fact, been
the foundation of the majority of the romances............
The abolition movement is perhaps the most salient example of the
struggle the United States has faced in its long and complex
confrontation with the issue of race. In his final book, historian
Paul Goodman, who died in 1995, presents a new and important
interpretation of abolitionism. Goodman pays particular attention
to the role that blacks played in the movement. In the half-century
following the American Revolution, a sizable free black population
emerged, the result of state-sponsored emancipation in the North
and individual manumission in the slave states. At the same time, a
white movement took shape, in the form of the American Colonization
Society, that proposed to solve the slavery question by sending the
emancipated blacks to Africa and making Liberia an American
"colony." The resistance of northern free blacks was instrumental
in exposing the racist ideology underlying colonization and
inspiring early white abolitionists to attack slavery straight on.
In a society suffused with racism, says Goodman, abolitionism stood
apart by its embrace of racial equality as a Christian
imperative.
Goodman demonstrates that the abolitionist movement had a far
broader social basis than was previously thought. Drawing on census
and town records, his portraits of abolitionists reveal the many
contributions of ordinary citizens, especially laborers and women
long overshadowed by famous movement leaders. Paul Goodman's humane
spirit informs these pages. His book is a scholarly legacy that
will enrich the history of antebellum race and reform movements for
years to come.
