It is a study of slavery that provides a global perspective on the subject with an emphasis on the United States.David Brion Davis has long been recognized as the leading authority on slavery in the Western World. His books have won every major history award--including the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award--and he has been universally praised for his prodigious research, his brilliant analytical skill, and his rich and powerful prose. Now, in Inhuman Bondage , Davis sums up a lifetime of insight in what Stanley L. Engerman calls "a monumental and magisterial book, the essential work on New World slavery for several decades to come." Davis begins with the dramatic Amistad case, which vividly highlights the international character of the Atlantic slave trade and the roles of the American judiciary, the presidency, the media, and of both black and white abolitionists. The heart of the book looks at slavery in the American South, describing black slaveholding planters, the rise of the Cotton Kingdom, the daily life of ordinary slaves, the highly destructive internal, long-distance slave trade, the sexual exploitation of slaves, the emergence of an African-American culture, and much more. But though centered on the United States, the book offers a global perspective spanning four continents. It is the only study of American slavery that reaches back to ancient foundations (discussing the classical and biblical justifications for chattel bondage) and also traces the long evolution of anti-black racism (as in the writings of David Hume and Immanuel Kant, among many others). Equally important, it combines the subjects of slavery and abolitionism as very few books do, and it illuminates the meaning of nineteenth-century slave conspiracies and revolts, with a detailed comparison with 3 major revolts in the British Caribbean. It connects the actual life of slaves with the crucial place of slavery in American politics and stresses that slavery was integral to America's success as a nation--not a marginal enterprise. A definitive history by a writer deeply immersed in the subject, Inhuman Bondage offers a compelling narrative that links together the profits of slavery, the pain of the enslaved, and the legacy of racism. It is the ultimate portrait of the dark side of the American dream. Yet it offers an inspiring example as well--the story of how abolitionists, barely a fringe group in the 1770's, successfully fought, in the space of a hundred years, to defeat one of human history's greatest evils.SlaveryUnited StatesHistorySlaveryAmericaHistoryAntislavery movementsUnited StatesHistoryAntislavery movementsAmericaHistorySlaveryHistory.SlaveryHistory.Antislavery movementsHistory.Antislavery movementsHistory.306.3620975Davis David Brion127695MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777615603321Inhuman bondage3848078UNINA03794oam 2200577I 450 991015468780332120230808200807.01-351-95539-X1-315-26155-31-351-95540-310.4324/9781315261553 (CKB)3710000000971780(MiAaPQ)EBC4770085(OCoLC)973028007(BIP)63370701(BIP)58362133(EXLCZ)99371000000097178020180706e20162009 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierBiblical women's voices in early modern England /Michele OsherowLondon :Routledge,2016.1 online resource (202 pages) illustrationsWomen and Gender in the Early Modern WorldFirst published 2009 by Ashgate Publishing.1-138-26590-X 0-7546-6674-3 Includes bibliographical references and index.1.

"Naked against the enemy" : the feminization of David.Biblical Women's Voices in Early Modern England documents the extent to which portrayals of women writers, rulers, and leaders in the Hebrew Bible scripted the lives of women in early modern England. Attending to a broad range of writing by Protestant men and women, including John Donne, Mary Sidney, John Milton, Rachel Speght, and Aemilia Lanyer, the author investigates how the cultural requirement for feminine silence informs early modern readings of biblical women's stories, and furthermore, how these biblical characters were used to counteract cultural constraints on women's speech. Bringing to bear a commanding knowledge of Hebrew Scripture, Michele Osherow presents a series of case studies on biblical heroines, juxtaposing Old Testament stories with early modern writers and texts. The case studies include an investigation of references to Miriam in Lady Mary Sidney's psalm translations; an unpacking of comparisons between Deborah and Elizabeth I; and, importantly, a consideration of the feminization of King David through analysis of his appropriation as a model for early modern women in writings by both male and female authors. In deciphering the abundance of biblical characters, citations, and allusions in early modern texts, Osherow simultaneously demonstrates how biblical stories of powerful women challenged the Renaissance notion that women should be silent, and explores the complexities and contradictions surrounding early modern women, their speech, and their power.Women and gender in the early modern world.Protestant womenEnglandLanguageHistoryLanguage and languagesReligious aspectsProtestant churchesHistory of doctrinesWomen in the BibleBiographyHistory and criticismHebrew poetry, BiblicalHistory and criticismProtestant womenLanguageHistory.Language and languagesReligious aspectsProtestant churchesHistory of doctrines.Women in the BibleHistory and criticism.Hebrew poetry, BiblicalHistory and criticism.274.2/06082Osherow Michele.896275MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154687803321Biblical women's voices in early modern England2002084UNINA
