Woman From Bondage to Freedom (Classic Reprint) by Ralcy Husted Bell Pdf

Excerpt from Woman From Bondage to Freedom Naturally, a work of this kind must be abridged. When woman started from her ancient bondage for modern freedom, she hit a long trail. I shall try to blaze that trail. She has been on the way some time, but she never knew where she was going - nobody does. Progress has no ultimate goal - it can't have. It has an instinct. It is a wanderer. It passes through successive zones that are repeated. They can not be infinite in number and diversity, because being is limited in its reactions. There is not even conception of infinity. Being is necessarily provincial. It is characterized by its surroundings. Cosmic consciousness is an idea. God is hope. Immortality is a dream. Is there truth in the idea? Is there reality in the hope? Is there prophecy in the dream? No one knows. The very soul of our race is dumb, or, at best, inarticulate in its cries and vague in its longings. In the long run, progress may be like a dog chasing his tail.

Woman by Ralcy Husted Ralcy Husted Bell,James Zimmerhoff Pdf

(ATUEALLY, a work of this kind must be abridged. When woman started from her ancient bondage for modern freedom, she hit a long trail. I shall try to blaze that trail. She has been on the way some time, but she never knew where she was going nobody does. Progress has no ultimate goal it can 't have. It has an instinct. It is a wanderer. It passes through successive zones that are repeated. They can not be infinite in number and diversity, because being is limited in its reactions. There is not even conception of infinity. Being is necessarily provincial. It is characterized by its surround- ings. Cosmic consciousness is an idea. God is hope. Immortality is a dream. Is there truth in the idea? Is there reality in the hope? Is there prophecy in the dream? No one knows. The very soul of our race is dumb, or, at best, inarticulate in its cries and vague in its longings. In the long run, progress may be like a dog chasing his tail. Activity is good for the dog even if he misses the rabbit; but if we assume ix X PREFACE that he will catch the rabbit, what then? Shall he stop, or catch another and another forever and ever! Still, if progress turns out to be only a movement with an active instinct, I like to think that the instinct makes for well-being. The bewildering fact is that it doesn't. For nothing so bedevils us as that which we call progress. Let us say then that bedevilment is good (for the soul) since we can not abate it. Let us go in for progress, as everybody does. Here the trouble begins. Each knows the road that all the world should take, but no two roads are alike. I see one that looks prom- ising. It seems to be a continuation of the trail, leading to broader human rights from the narrower rights of sex or class. This road passes I hope to an equal spiritual dignity of manhood and womanhood, opening up the pos- sibilities of human nature through orderly activity. Of course, no wise woman travels alone if she can help it. Nature loves nothing better than mating. Nature is hard-headed. According to her, almost any kind of a mate is better than none. In general, her children obey her, in one way or another. Those who do not obey the mother are weaned before it is good for them; that is to say, they are runted out of existence. So we find that woman in her trail from relative bondage to comparative freedom had PEEFACE XI company all along. She was both helped and hindered by her companion ; but she was helped more than hindered, because her very hindrance often was a help. At all events, a stage has been reached where no one doubts the desirability of equal oppor- tunity and equal responsibility of men and women under the law ; and nobody should ques- tion the wisdom of their equal moral obligations to society, on given conditions. There also is common agreement on the right to freedom of speech within the limits of decency, regardless of sex ; and no one now who loathes caste doubts the fitness of women for full citizenship with men.

Perplexing Patriarchies: Fatherhood Among Black Opponents and White Defenders of Slavery by Pierre Islam Pdf

'Perplexing Patriarchies' examines the rhetorical usage (and lived experience) of fatherhood among three African American abolitionists and three of their white proslavery opponents in the United States during the nineteenth century. Both the prominent abolitionists (Frederick Douglass, Martin Delany, and Henry Garnet), as well as the prominent proslavery advocates (Henry Hammond, George Fitzhugh, and Richard Dabney), appealed to the popular image of the father, husband, and head of household in order to attack or justify slavery. How and why could these opposing individuals rely on appeals to the same ideal of fatherhood to come to completely different and opposing conclusions? This book strives to find the answer by first acknowledging that both the abolitionists and the proslavery men shared similar concerns about the contested status of fatherhood in the nineteenth century. However, due to subtle differences in their starting assumptions, and different choices of what parts of a father’s responsibilities to emphasize, the black abolitionists conceived of an ideal father who protected the autonomy of his dependents, while the proslavery men conceived of one whose authority necessitated the subordination of those he protected. Finding that these differences arose from choices in starting assumptions and emphases rather than total disagreement on what the role of the father should be, this work reveals that black abolitionists were not radically critiquing the gender conventions of their day, but innovatively working within those conventions to turn them towards social reform. This discovery opens up a new way for historians to consider how oppressed peoples negotiated the intellectual boundaries of the societies which oppressed them: Not necessarily breaking entirely from those boundaries, nor passively accepting them, but ingeniously synthesizing a worldview from within their confines that still allowed for freedom and personal autonomy.

Freedom Narratives of African American Women by Janaka Bowman Lewis Pdf

Stories of liberation from enslavement or oppression have become central to African American women's literature. Beginning with a discussion of black women freedom narratives as a literary genre, the author argues that these texts represent a discourse on civil rights that emerged earlier than the ideas of racial uplift that culminated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. An examination of the collective free identity of black women and their relationships to the community focuses on education, individual progress, marriage and family, labor, intellectual commitments and community rebuilding projects.

The Future of Feminist Eighteenth-Century Scholarship by Robin Runia Pdf

There is an unfortunate argument being made that feminist scholarship of eighteenth-century literary studies has fulfilled its potential in academic circles. The Future of Eighteenth-Century Feminist Scholarship: Beyond Recovery shows us otherwise. Each of the essays in this volume reaffirms the feminist principles that form the foundation of this area, then builds upon them by acknowledging the inevitable conflicts they or their subjects have faced and the contradictions they or their subjects have lived.

Tropical Freedom by Ikuko Asaka Pdf

In Tropical Freedom Ikuko Asaka engages in a hemispheric examination of the intersection of emancipation and settler colonialism in North America. Asaka shows how from the late eighteenth century through Reconstruction, emancipation efforts in the United States and present-day Canada were accompanied by attempts to relocate freed blacks to tropical regions, as black bodies were deemed to be more physiologically compatible with tropical climates. This logic conceived of freedom as a racially segregated condition based upon geography and climate. Regardless of whether freed people became tenant farmers in Sierra Leone or plantation laborers throughout the Caribbean, their relocation would provide whites with a monopoly over the benefits of settling indigenous land in temperate zones throughout North America. At the same time, black activists and intellectuals contested these geographic-based controls by developing alternative discourses on race and the environment. By tracing these negotiations of the transnational racialization of freedom, Asaka demonstrates the importance of considering settler colonialism and black freedom together while complicating the prevailing frames through which the intertwined histories of British and U.S. emancipation and colonialism have been understood.

Antislavery Discourse and Nineteenth-Century American Literature by J. Husband Pdf

Antislavery Discourse and Nineteenth-Century American Literature examines the relationship between antislavery texts and emerging representations of "free labor" in mid-nineteenth-century America. Husband shows how the images of families split apart by slavery, circulated primarily by women leaders, proved to be the most powerful weapon in the antislavery cultural campaign and ultimately turned the nation against slavery. She also reveals the ways in which the sentimental narratives and icons that constituted the "family protection campaign" powerfully influenced Americans sense of the role of government, gender, and race in industrializing America. Chapters examine the writings of ardent abolitionists such as Frederick Douglass, non-activist sympathizers, and those actively hostile to but deeply immersed in antislavery activism including Nathaniel Hawthorne.
