Beschreibung

In "The Siege of Mafeking," A. Hamilton masterfully chronicles the harrowing events surrounding the prolonged siege of the small South African town during the Second Boer War. Written in a gripping narrative style that combines firsthand accounts and detailed military analysis, the book immerses readers in the tense atmosphere experienced by the besieged inhabitants. Hamilton's work sits within a broader literary context of war narratives from the late 19th century, reflecting the burgeoning interest in imperial conflicts and their impact on national identity, a theme that resonates throughout the text. A. Hamilton, having lived through the tumultuous period of the Boer War, offers a unique perspective shaped by personal experience and scholarly research. His position as a contemporary observer allows him to blend historical rigor with compelling storytelling, illuminating the complexities of colonial anxieties, heroism, and survival. His insightful reflections on the political and social dynamics of the era enhance the reader's understanding of the broader implications of the siege within the context of the British Empire. This book is a crucial read for anyone interested in military history, colonial studies, or the intricacies of human resilience under pressure. Hamilton's vivid portrayal of the Siege of Mafeking not only provides historical knowledge but also captivates with its emotional depth, making it an essential addition to the library of both scholars and general readers alike.

    Scholars of US and transatlantic slavery have largely ignored or dismissed accusations that Black Americans were cannibalized. Vincent Woodard takes the enslaved person's claims of human consumption seriously, focusing on both the starvation of the slave and the tropes of cannibalism on the part of the slaveholder, and further draws attention to the ways in which Blacks experienced their consumption as a fundamentally homoerotic occurrence. 
     
     
     
    Utilizing many staples of African American literature and culture, such as the slave narratives of Olaudah Equiano, Harriet Jacobs, and Frederick Douglass, as well as other less circulated materials like James L. Smith's slave narrative, runaway slave advertisements, and numerous articles from Black newspapers published in the nineteenth century, Woodard traces the racial assumptions, political aspirations, gender codes, and philosophical frameworks that dictated both European and white American arousal towards Black males and hunger for Black male flesh. He concludes with an examination of the controversial chain gang oral sex scene in Toni Morrison's Beloved, suggesting that even at the end of the twentieth and beginning of the twenty-first century, we are still at a loss for language with which to describe Black male hunger within a plantation culture of consumption.
