Freedom's Children
A Story of Ordinary Human Beings
Black Reconstruction makes powerful arguments about the critical roles black Americans played in forcing emancipation during the Civil War and in the reconstruction of southern society afterward that resonate much more with recent scholarship on the era than with that of his 1930s contemporaries. Given that Du Bois's argument goes so thoroughly against the grain of the scholarship of his day and yet lacks references to any alternative archival or…
Structurally Diverse Terpenoids from the Rhizomes of Cyperus rotundus L.
An extract of the rhizomes of Cyperus rotundus L. afforded two new sesquiterpenoids (2 and 3) with rearranged secoeudesmane and germacrane skeletons, and a new 9,10-seco-cycloartane triterpenoid (9), as well as seven previously reported terpenoids, including a monoterpenoid (1), five sesquiterpenoids (4-8) with guaiane, patchoulane, and eudesmane skeletons, and a 3,4- seco-dammarane nortriterpenoid (10). The structures of 1-10 were elucidated by …
Tributes to John Hope Franklin
Mirror to America, the title John Hope Franklin gave his autobiography, implied that one might recognize important themes of the nation's life-story in his own. Be that as it may, it is indisputable that in his life one can find the main themes and plot lines of the professional study of African American history, both its origins and its maturation, in the twentieth century
The Problem of Race in the Twenty-First Century
problem of the 20th century is the problem of the colour-line, W.E.B. du Bois wrote in 1903, and his words have proven sadly prophetic. As we enter the 21st century, the problem remains - and yet it, and the line that defies it, have shifted in subtle but significant ways. This brief book speaks powerfully to the question of how the circumstances of race and racism have changed in our time - and how these changes will affect our future. Foremost …

Beyond Slavery
This journal's readers are well served by Beyond Slavery. Consisting of three case studies from across the Atlantic world, the book provides a powerful, if unsystematic, exploration of the connections between classical political economy, race, class, gender, and labor. The book suggests that the experiences of emancipated slaves in the British Caribbean, Cuba, Louisiana, and French West Africa are useful in understanding states rooted in universa…
Lectures de Michel Foucault. Volume 1
Les contributions réunies dans ce volume constituent une des premières tentatives pour prendre en compte la nouveauté qu’entraîne la mise à la disposition du public des cours de Foucault au Collège de France. Dans « Il faut défendre la société», Foucault envisage les questions du pouvoir, de la guerre comme analyseur des rapports de pouvoir et fait la généalogie du discours historico-politique de la guerre des races, depuis ses prémisses au XVIe …
Mammy et Oncle Ned
Les personnages représentés ici sont parmi les plus anodins d'une série de figurines à caractère racial, qui trouvent leur origine aux Etats-Unis à la fin du XIXe siècle, mais qui, depuis, se sont dispersées dans toute l'Amérique, en Europe et en Asie. Le personnage masculin est censé décrire le cuisinier noir, figure centrale de la maisonnée blanche imaginaire de la fin du XIXe siècle dans le sud des Etats-Unis. Imaginaire non parce que de tels …

That incoherence leads historians ultimately to invoke either inappropriate psychological analyses (of individuals or groups) or literary flourishes about tragic flaws in the American character- all in lieu of probing the historical forces at work.

The Problem of Freedom
Thomas Holt's *The Problem of Freedom* examines the intertwined histories of labor, race, and politics in Jamaica and Britain from the late eighteenth century through the early twentieth century. Challenging conventional narratives of emancipation and post-emancipation societies, Holt argues that the struggle for freedom was not a singular event but a continuous process shaped by the interplay of local and imperial forces. He analyzes how formerl…
The Political Uses of Alienation
After the Egyptian and Indian, the Greek and Roman, the Teuton and Mongolian, the Negro is a sort of seventh son, born with a veil, and gifted with second-sight in this American world, -a world which yields to him no true self-consciousness, but only lets him see himself through the revelation of the other world. It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others, of measur…
