Summary

In "The Abolition Fight in England," Thomas Clarkson meticulously chronicles the arduous struggle against the transatlantic slave trade, blending rigorous historical research with impassioned prose. Published in 1808, the book is an epitome of Enlightenment thought, rich with empirical data and personal testimonies that illuminate the moral and ethical dimensions of abolitionism. Clarkson's literary style is characterized by a compelling narrative interspersed with persuasive rhetoric, aiming to engage both the intellect and the emotions of his readers during a time of escalating moral awareness regarding slavery. Thomas Clarkson, a prominent English abolitionist and social reformer, was profoundly influenced by his Quaker upbringing and a fervent commitment to social justice. His dedication to the abolitionist cause stemmed from a chance encounter with a ship's captain who recounted the horrors of the slave trade. This pivotal moment ignited Clarkson's lifelong mission, marked by extensive travels and meticulous research, ultimately leading to pivotal activism that swayed public opinion. This book is indispensable for anyone interested in social justice, the history of human rights, and the interplay of morality and law. Clarkson invites readers to grapple with the complexities of moral action, making it a profound exploration of conscience and activism that resonates with contemporary struggles for equality and justice.

    This is an audiobook of Wheel Publications No. 102/103 Buddhist Reflections on Death by V. F. Gunaratne, narrated by Jonathan Nelson.  
 
"To most of us, at some moment or another, the spectacle of death must have given rise to the deepest of thoughts and profoundest of questions. What is life worth, if able bodies that once performed great deeds now lie flat and cold, senseless and lifeless? What is life worth, if eyes that once sparkled with joy, eyes that once beamed with love are now closed forever, bereft of movement, bereft of life? Thoughts such as these are not to be repressed. It is just these inquiring thoughts, if wisely pursued, that will ultimately unfold the potentialities inherent in the human mind to receive the highest truths. 
"According to the Buddhist way of thinking, death, far from being a subject to be shunned and avoided, is the key that unlocks the seeming mystery of life. It is by understanding death that we understand life; for death is part of the process of life in the larger sense. In another sense, life and death are two ends of the same process and if you understand one end of the process, you also understand the other. Hence, by understanding the purpose of death we also understand the purpose of life." 
—V.F. Gunaratne 
 
"Buddhist Reflections on Death" is in Volume 8 of The Collected Wheel Publications published by Pariyatti (https://store.pariyatti.org/collected-wheel-publications-bpe) and as a free eBook from the BPS website (https://www.bps.lk/library-search-select.php?id=wh102).

    The Delectable Negro - Human...

    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.
