No Abolition of Slavery - Or the Universal Empire of Love A poem

James Boswell

Sinopse

In "No Abolition of Slavery," James Boswell presents a compelling discourse on the ethics and politics surrounding slavery during the late 18th century. Employing a blend of persuasive rhetoric and historical analysis, Boswell critiques the prevailing abolitionist sentiments of his time while articulating a defense of the institution of slavery. His literary style is characterized by a rich, argumentative prose that navigates complex moral questions, set against the backdrop of Enlightenment thought and emerging human rights ideologies. This work situates itself within a broader dialogue on power, colonialism, and the socio-economic dynamics of 18th-century Britain, challenging readers to scrutinize the implications of abolitionism on contemporary society. James Boswell, best known for his biography of Samuel Johnson, was acutely aware of the intellectual climate that shaped public opinion on slavery. A close observer of social and political currents, his aristocratic upbringing and education facilitated a nuanced understanding of the divisive debates surrounding slavery and freedom. His perspectives, complex and often conflicting, were influenced by his connections to the Enlightenment figures who either championed or condemned the practice, ultimately culminating in this provocative and thought-provoking examination of the issue. Readers interested in historical debates over morality and human rights will find "No Abolition of Slavery" an essential text. Boswell's intricate arguments invite reflection on the nature of justice and the historical context that shapes societal views. Scholars and general readers alike will benefit from engaging with this critical examination as it provides insight into the complex legacy of slavery and the philosophical underpinnings of 18th-century societal values.

Twelve Years a Slave

Solomon Northup

"They can take your freedom, but they cannot take your identity."

In 1841, Solomon Northup was a professional violinist and family man living in Saratoga Springs, New York. After being lured to Washington D.C. with the promise of work, he was drugged, shackled, and stripped of his name. For the next twelve years, he was passed from master to master in the bayous of Louisiana, enduring the sadistic cruelty of men like Edwin Epps while witnessing the quiet heroism of his fellow enslaved people. Twelve Years a Slave is a visceral, unflinching look at the "peculiar institution" through the eyes of a man who knew both the dignity of liberty and the agony of the lash. It remains a foundational text of American history and a testament to the endurance of the human spirit.

The Mechanics of Oppression: Northup provides a meticulous, almost journalistic description of the economics and daily operations of the slave trade. He details the cultivation of cotton and sugar, the social hierarchies of the plantation, and the psychological warfare used to keep human beings in subjection.

A Quest for Justice: The narrative is propelled by Northup's secret attempts to communicate with his family in the North. His eventual rescue is a heart-stopping moment of tension and triumph, highlighting the legal and social complexities of a divided nation where a man's status as "property" or "person" could depend entirely on the color of his skin and the geography of his location.

Why It Is a Vital Classic: While many narratives were edited to suit political agendas, Northup's account is praised for its stark realism and descriptive power. It provides names, dates, and locations that were later verified by historians, making it one of the most credible and devastating indictments of slavery ever written.

Bernardine's Shanghai Salon -...

Susan Blumberg-Kason

Bernardine Szold Fritz arrived in Shanghai in 1929 to marry her fourth husband. Only thirty-three years old, she found herself in a time and place like no other. Political intrigue and scandal lurked on every street corner. Art Deco cinemas showed the latest Hollywood flicks, while dancehall owners and jazz musicians turned Shanghai into Asia's top nightlife destination. 
 
 
 
Yet from the night of their wedding, Bernardine's new husband did not live up to his promises. Instead of feeling sorry for herself or leaving Shanghai, Bernardine decided to make a place for herself. Like other Jewish women before her, she started a salon in her home, drawing famous names from the world of politics, the arts, and the intelligentsia. And when Hollywood stars Anna May Wong, Charlie Chaplin, and Claudette Colbert passed through Shanghai, Bernardine organized gatherings to introduce them to their Shanghai contemporaries. 
 
 
 
When Bernardine's salon could not accommodate all who wanted to attend, she founded the International Arts Theater to produce avant-garde plays, ballets, lectures, and visual arts exhibits, often pushing audiences beyond their comfort zones. As civil war brewed and World War II soon followed, Bernardine's devotion to the arts and the people of Shanghai brought joy to the city just before it would change forever.
