Collected Black Women's Narratives Zusammenfassung

Collected Black Women's Narratives Anthony G. Barthelemy (Louisiana State University)

These narratives by four black women - Louisa Picquet, Susie King Taylor, Bethany Veney, and Nancy Prince - testify to their struggles to maintain dignity and independence in the hostile, and frequently violent, society of antebellum America. Picquet and Veney's reminiscence of slave life are complemented by Susie King Taylor's description of nursing for the Union during the Civil War, and Nancy Prince's travel writings (she visited Europe, Russia, and Jamaica). The common thread in these texts is resistance.

Collected Black Women's Narratives Bewertungen

Praise for the series: "What an astonishing gift...this collection is!"--Alice Walker "The collaboration among The Schomburg Center, Oxford University Press, and these exceptional scholars is an extraordinary event...but the collection is a spectacular achievement."--Toni Morrison "[With] The Schomburg Library, I feel as if I were watching a gigantic ebony figure being unearthed. It is a woman writing."--The Washington Post Book World "An important volume, rich in the ways it illustrates for both the student and the scholar how power, resistance, and creativity permeate African American expression."--Russ Castronovo, University of Miami Praise for the series: "What an astonishing gift...this collection is!"--Alice Walker "The collaboration among The Schomburg Center, Oxford University Press, and these exceptional scholars is an extraordinary event...but the collection is a spectacular achievement."--Toni Morrison "[With] The Schomburg Library, I feel as if I were watching a gigantic ebony figure being unearthed.
