Between the Revolution and the Civil War, African-American writing
became a prominent feature of both black protest culture and
American public life. Although denied a political voice in national
affairs, black authors produced a wide range of literature to
project their views into the public sphere. Autobiographies and
personal narratives told of slavery's horrors, newspapers railed
against racism in its various forms, and poetry, novellas,
reprinted sermons and speeches told tales of racial uplift and
redemption.
The editors examine the important and previously overlooked
pamphleteering tradition and offer new insights into how and why
the printed word became so important to black activists during this
critical period. An introduction by the editors situates the
pamphlets in their various social, economic and political contexts.
This is the first book to capture the depth of black print culture
before the Civil War by examining perhaps its most important form,
the pamphlet.

This Faith By Far is a collection of biographies of many women, including gospel singers, black nuns, preachers, missionaries and civil rights workers. These biographies look at the history and experiences of African-American women, with regard to their spirituality and activities in organized religion. Main topics include the bias against women by the male leadership of the black church, the racism and sexism of mainstream religions, the relationship between spirituality and activism, and the outside-of-church ways in which women are involved in religion. The book ranges from the period of slavery to the present day and profiles figures such as Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Willie Mae Ford Smith and Ella Baker, exploring the role that religious institutions, artistic forms and impulses played in their lives.
Jewels of the Nile celebrates the very first time that the
Worcester Art Museum's internationally important collection of
Egyptian jewelry - which has undergone conservation and cleaning -
has been shown together. This strikingly illustrated book
introduces the reader to the collection of an early 20th century
Boston couple with a passion for ancient Egypt. The collectors,
Laura and Kingsmill Marrs, were guided in their acquisitions by
Howard Carter, the archaeologist who would later achieve world-wide
recognition for his discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun (1922).
Under his guidance, the Marrs's purchased an outstanding selection
of scarabs, amulets, jewellery and cosmetic-related articles,
including rare blue-toned stone vessels. They also acquired a group
of Carter's watercolor renditions of important Egyptian sites and
royal figures. These artifacts, as well as objects from Worcester's
stellar collection of Egyptian antiquities, are included in the
publication.
"The Palgrave Environmental Reader" explores America's evolving
fascination with nature and environmental concerns. From the New
England Transcendentalists to the UN convention on climate change,
this book includes works by Thomas Jefferson, Henry David Thoreau,
Theodore Roosevelt, Rachel Carson, E.O. Wilson, and others.
Consisting of thirty-five important pieces covering a variety of
issues, this reader distinguishes itself from other writing on the
subject by presenting more extensive excerpts and by emphasizing
themes such as environmental activism, racism, and law.
Antislavery and Abolition in Philadelphia considers the
cultural, political, and religious contexts shaping the long
struggle against racial injustice in one of early America's most
important cities. Comprised of nine scholarly essays by a
distinguished group of historians, the volume recounts the
antislavery movement in Philadelphia from its marginalized status
during the colonial era to its rise during the Civil War.
Philadelphia was the home to the Society of Friends, which
offered the first public attack on slavery in the 1680s; the
Pennsylvania Abolition Society, the western world's first
antislavery group; and to generations of abolitionists who
organized some of early America's most important civil rights
groups.
These abolitionists -- black, white, religious, secular, male,
female -- grappled with the meaning of black freedom earlier and
more consistently than anyone else in early American culture.
Cutting-edge academic views illustrate Philadelphia's antislavery
movement, how it survived societal opposition, and how it remained
vital to evolving notions of racial justice.
Lyde Green Roman Villa, Emersons Green, South Gloucestershire was
excavated between mid-2012 and mid-2013 along with its surroundings
and antecedent settlement. The excavations took place as part of
the Emersons Green East Development Area, funded through the
mechanism of commercial archaeology by Gardiner & Theobald LLP.
The results of the stratigraphic analysis are given here along with
specialist reports on the human remains, pottery (including thin
sections), ceramic building material, small finds, coinage and
iron-working waste. Six open-area excavations allowed the
archaeologists the rare opportunity to trace a substantial part of
the site's layout. Three ancillary buildings within the villa
compound, including a bathhouse, were excavated. Evidence of
advanced water management was uncovered in the form of lead piping,
ceramic drain tiles and an enigmatic stone structure built into a
canalised spring line. The villa's economy included stock raising,
crop processing and iron and textile production. The settlement
appears to have originated in the mid-1st century AD, or slightly
earlier.
In this, his second album on Irish buses, Richard Newman, not a
local but a native of Portsmouth, takes us on a journey through the
interesting bus scene of an Ireland very different to today, the
Ireland of the mid-1960s.In 1964, Richard had acquired an Ilford
Sportsman 35mm camera so he had the opportunity to better record
the Irish bus scene on his first visit in 1965. He returned in July
1967 for a more extensive tour and again for an extended day trip
in May 1968, this to record the closure of the Belfast trolleybus
system.Amongst other locations, Richard visited Belfast, Dublin,
Londonderry and Waterford where, as well as the interesting bus
scene, the backgrounds to his pictures also provide much interest,
some locations having changed greatly, other still very
recognisable today. In addition to the major operators - Belfast
Corporation Transport, Coras Iompair Eireann and the Ulster
Transport Authority/Ulsterbus - Richard also recorded the vehicles
of some better known operators in the independent sector, including
the Londonderry and Lough Swilly Railway Company.
An eclectic mix of short stories and poems from Yorkshire
The Green Hill by Richard Newman
"a musical confrontation with the difficult and painful recurrences
of middle age -- love lost and love renewed, the depredations of
time and change, the fear of aging as diminishing possibility . . .
a book about enduring need and the transormative power of song." --
Alan Shapiro
Amsterdam in 1950 was a country moving out of the German occupation
- a City bent on rooting out the collaborators of the war to
mitigate some of the guilt of the past in the treatment of their
Jews. Ruth is a refugee from Auschwitz having lost her family, her
home and, almost, her reason. But, she is intelligent, and when she
befriends a youth from a tugboat who also suffers from mental
illness there is a remarkable meeting of minds, as both suffer from
fear: one of the past and one of the future. The story tells of
their road to rebuilding their lives, finding happiness again among
the bustling harbour but, a place also where, through her loyalty
to her new friends Ruth becomes entangled with the traffic in Dutch
collaborators fleeing the country.
Is the world spinning out of control? Are events around the world
depicting an increasing state of decay and madness? You be the
judge and what are you prepared to do, if anything, to change
things?
Richard Newman provides a 25-page introduction to a revised autobiography of Henry Box Brown, a fugitive slave who in 1849 devised his own escape to freedom by shipping himself in a wooden crate from Virginia to an anti-slavery office in Philadelphia. This edition includes a total of six illustrations.
(Amadeus). Alma Rose's tragic story, from her birth and youth in
the exalted musical circles of Vienna (her father was leader of the
Vienna Philharmonic, her uncle was Gustav Mahler) to her death at
Auschwitz, first came to public attention through the 1980 film
Playing for Time . As leader of the only women's orchestra in the
Nazi camps, by force of her will and spirit, she molded a terrified
group of young musicians into an ensemble that became their sole
hope of survival. And although Alma herself died of a sudden
illness shortly before the liberation of the camps, she saved the
lives of some four dozen members of the orchestra. In telling her
full story for the first time, Richard Newman and Karen Kirtley
honor her and the valiant prisoner-musicians for whom music meant
life.
