Annie Heloise Abel

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

Annie Heloise Abel's monumental work, "The Slaveholding Indians" (Vol. 1-3), presents an exhaustive examination of the complex relationship between Native American tribes and the institution of slavery in the United States. Written in a narrative style that is both scholarly and engaging, Abel meticulously unveils the historical intricacies surrounding tribes such as the Cherokee, Choctaw, and Creek, who not only participated in slavery but also adapted their social structures to incorporate enslaved African Americans. Her research is anchored in primary sources, providing a nuanced perspective that challenges the oversimplified narratives prevalent in contemporary historiography regarding Indigenous peoples and American slavery. An influential historian, Abel's pioneering work arose from her commitment to amplifying marginalized voices in history. Born in 1871, she became a prominent figure in the early 20th-century academic landscape, at a time when the contributions of women and minority groups were often overlooked. Her deep understanding of American history and culture undoubtedly fueled her investigation, revealing the multidimensional identities of Native tribes that included both sovereignty and complicity in the institution of slavery. This groundbreaking trilogy is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, Indigenous studies, or the history of slavery. Abel's thorough analysis not only enriches our understanding of the complexities of race and culture but also invites readers to reconsider their preconceptions about Native American history. Her work remains an essential contribution to the field, illuminating a crucial chapter in the American historical narrative.

Billy Wellman

The Spanish conquest of the Americas is a pivotal part of the history of colonization.  
Christopher Columbus’s discovery, albeit accidental, of a new landmass turned the world upside-down. Beginning in the late 15th century, the kingdom of Spain spearheaded the effort of colonization, sending expedition after expedition to the Caribbean islands and then to mainland North and South America. Through violence, bloodshed, and conquest, the Spanish conquistadors were able to gain control of the rich and prosperous lands of indigenous American civilizations, laying waste to magnificent political and social entities like the Aztec and Inca Empires. 
This audiobook tells the story of how Spain managed to conquer the Americas in the span of half a century, from the late 1400s to the mid-1500s. Although exploitation and warfare continued between the colonizers and the colonized after this period, the largest campaigns against the indigenous peoples were undertaken in this short time span, which is the focus of this audiobook. 
This comprehensive guide will cover the following:Columbus and his expeditions, which encouraged other Europeans to start colonizationThe makeup of indigenous American societies, from their social hierarchies and complex cultures to diverse political structuresColonization of the Caribbean islands and the establishment of the Spanish West IndiesThe arrival of Hernán Cortés and his groundbreaking expedition into the Aztec Empire in modern-day MexicoThe conquest of the Maya civilization in the Yucatán Peninsula and the power dynamics between different power-hungry conquistador groups thereThe magnificent Inca Empire in the South American Andes and its conquest by Francisco Pizarro

A Realistic Blacktopia - Why We...

Derrick Darby

The United States is dogged by racism and racial disparities in income, wealth, health, education, and criminal justice. Philosophers disagree on what kind of politics is needed to address this problem. Do we pursue race-specific remedies to undo racism or do we assume the permanence of racism and opt for non-race-specific remedies in pursuit of a more egalitarian society? Paradoxically, the way to make racial progress in racist America is to downplay race. 
 
 
 
In A Realistic Blacktopia, political philosopher Derrick Darby challenges the "small tent" approach by examining U.S. Supreme Court cases on education and voting rights arguing that they hold general lessons about the limits of racial politics. Securing racial justice in racist America calls for "big tent" remedies, and Darby argues that pursuing non-race-specific remedies with maximal democratic inclusion is a necessary strategy for mitigating racial inequality and achieving racial justice. 
 
 
 
A Realistic Blacktopia offers clarity on how racism persists, contrary to claims that America is a post-racial society. Explaining why the myth of post-racialism cannot be ignored in crafting remedies for racial inequality, Darby supplies a principled pragmatic proposal for achieving racial justice. Darby also explains why achieving racial justice requires inclusive democracy.
