The World Atlas of Rivers, Estuaries, and Deltas
The World Atlas of Rivers, Estuaries, and Deltas
A stunningly illustrated atlas of the world’s rivers, estuaries, and deltas, and their ecosystems From the Congo and the Mekong to the Seine and the Mississippi, Earth’s rivers carve through landscapes before coursing into the world’s oceans through estuaries and deltas. Their inexorable flow carries sediment and more, acting as lifeblood for a variety of ecosystems and communities. More than any other surface feature of Earth, rivers, estuaries,…
Spiritual understandings of psychosis
Pathologizing spiritual beliefs has been an ongoing challenge in mental health services. Spiritual care services have been working alongside clinicians in discerning psychosis-like experiences that present with a spiritual or religious content. This study aimed to explore how spiritual care staff make sense of experiences otherwise termed as “psychosis” by interviewing a multi-faith sample of six participants using Interpretative Phenomenological…
The Parker Sisters
Lucy Maddox tells the story of Elizabeth Parker and Rachel Parker, free African American sisters kidnapped from southern Pennsylvania several weeks apart in 1851. Elizabeth spent six months enslaved in New Orleans, and they both spent six months in jail while a court determined their status. Ultimately, they went free, as did their kidnappers. This interesting story embodies many of the issues relating to race and slavery that Americans were stru…
Plaçage and the Performance of Whiteness
Depictions of plaçage, a type of concubinage found in pre-Civil War New Orleans, have tended toward the romantic. A group of scholars have shown recently that, contrary to popular perception, many plaçage unions were no different from common-law marriages. This article takes a case-study approach to examine one such relationship in detail – one that was the subject of a legal challenge involving the fortune of perhaps the wealthiest free black wo…
The Two Lives of Sally Miller
In 1843, the Louisiana Supreme Court heard the case of a slave named Sally who claimed to have been born a free white person in Germany. Sally, a very light-skinned slave girl working in a New Orleans cafe, might not have known she had a case were it not for a woman who recognized her as Salome Muller, with whom she had emigrated from Germany over twenty years earlier. Sally decided to sue for her freedom, and was ultimately freed, despite strong…
The Pearl
Front Line of Freedom
Antislavery from the Bottom-UpBold, imaginative, and important, Griffler's short masterpiece will join the front line of classics on the antislavery movement.Focusing on the north bank of the Ohio River, Griffler is the first person to do an exhaustive regional study of African-American participation in the Underground Railroad.Until I read Griffler, I thought that James and Lois Horton had done all that was possible in this area, but I was very …
The Elite of Our People
Sketches of the Higher Classes of Colored Society in Philadelphia, first published in 1841, was written by Joseph Willson, a southern black man who had moved to Philadelphia. He wrote this book to convince whites that the African-American community in his adopted city did indeed have a class structure, and he offers advice to his black readers about how they should use their privileged status. The significance of Willson's account lies in its sop…

Passing and the Fictions of Identity
Shadrach Minkins
The story of how an illiterate black man from Virginia found himself to be the catalyst of a dramatic episode of rebellion and legal wrangling before the Civil War. As the story unfolds, the reader sees what life was like for a slave in Norfolk, Virginia, and for a free black man in Montreal, where a community was established by Minkins and other refugee blacks from the United States. Minkins life is traced from Virginia to Boston to Montreal, th…
Sojourner Truth
Sojourner Truth: ex-slave and fiery abolitionist, figure of imposing physique, riveting preacher and spellbinding singer who dazzled listeners with her wit and originality. Straight talking and unsentimental, Truth became a national symbol for strong black women - indeed, for all strong women. Like Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass, she is regarded as a radical of immense and enduring influence; yet unlike them, what is remembered of her cons…
Bond of Iron
Freedom at Risk
Freedom at Risk
Kidnapping was perhaps the greatest fear of free blacks in pre-Civil War America. Though they may have descended from generations of free-born people or worked to purchase their freedom, free blacks were not able to enjoy the privileges and opportunities of white Americans. They lived with the constant threat of kidnapping and enslavement, against which they had little recourse.Most kidnapped free blacks were forcibly abducted, but other methods,…

Sojourner Truth
Bloody Dawn
When four young men, slaves on Edward Gorsuch's Maryland farm, escaped to rural Pennsylvania in 1849, the owner swore he'd bring them back. Two years later, Gorsuch lay dead outside the farmhouse in Christiana where he'd tracked them down, as his federal posse retreated pell-mell before the armed might of local blacks--and the impact of the most notorious act of resistance against the federal Fugitive Slave Law was about to be felt across divided…
