Beschreibung

In "The Boy Captives: An Incident of the Indian War of 1695," John Greenleaf Whittier crafts a compelling narrative that explores themes of captivity, resilience, and cultural conflict during a tumultuous period in Colonial America. Written in a lyrical style that combines vivid imagery with historical detail, the poem captures the harrowing experiences of young captives taken by Native Americans. Whittier's work is steeped in Romanticism, emphasizing emotion and nature while drawing on the rich oral traditions of both colonists and Indigenous peoples, thus providing a nuanced view of a complex historical event. John Greenleaf Whittier, a prominent figure in the American Romantic movement and a Quaker, drew inspiration from both his deep-rooted abolitionist beliefs and his fascination with local histories. His commitment to social justice and the common man's plight is evident in this poignant retelling of the 1695 Indian War, reflecting his anti-slavery sentiments and desire for understanding and reconciliation between differing cultures. "The Boy Captives" is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, literature, or the dynamics of early colonial life. Whittier's masterful storytelling not only elucidates a significant historical event but also invites readers to reflect on the enduring impact of war and captivity, making it relevant and thought-provoking for contemporary audiences.

    What does it mean to belong? In The Land is Sung, musicologist Thomas M. Pooley shows how performances of song, dance, and praise poetry connect Zulu communities to their ancestral homes and genealogies. For those without land tenure in the province of KwaZulu-Nata, performances articulate a sense of place. Migrants express their allegiances through performance and spiritual relationships to land are embodied in rituals that invoke ancestral connection while advancing well-being through intergenerational communication. Engaging with justice and environmental ethics, education and indigenous knowledge systems, musical and linguistic analysis, and the ethics of recording practice, Pooley's analysis draws on genres of music and dance recorded in the midlands and borderlands of South Africa, and in Johannesburg's inner city. His detailed sound writing captures the visceral experiences of performances in everyday life. The book is richly illustrated and there is a companion website featuring both video and audio examples.

    Physicians for the People chronicles the remarkable stories of 241 Black doctors who practiced medicine in Alabama during the Jim Crow era. Historian Jack D. Ellis reveals the ingenuity and resilience of these trailblazing doctors who defied segregation by establishing hospitals and clinics and providing vital healthcare to underserved Black communities. 
     
    This meticulously researched work draws on archival sources, oral histories, and an unparalleled database to dismantle the myth of a monolithic medical system in the Jim Crow South. Jack D. Ellis argues that the post–Civil War lives of Black physicians, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, and midwives hold special significance, illuminating both the causes of health care disparities among African Americans and the reasons for their continued underrepresentation in the medical professions. 
     
    Offering much of interest to students and scholars of Black history, medical history, and the civil rights movement, Physicians for the People exposes the deliberate exclusion faced by Black doctors within the white medical establishment and their ongoing fight for racial equality in medicine.
