By means of this and similar case studies, Paul H. D. Kaplan documents the ways in which American cultural encounters with Europe and its venerable artistic traditions influenced nineteenth-century concepts of race in the United States.Americans of the Civil War era were struck by the presence of people of color in European art and society, and American artists and authors, both black and white, adapted and transformed European visual material to respond to the particular struggles over the identity of African Americans. Taking up the work of both well- and lesser-known artists and writers—such as the travel writings of Mark Twain and William Dean Howells, the paintings of German American Emanuel Leutze, the epistolary exchange between John Ruskin and Charles Eliot Norton, newspaper essays written by Frederick Douglass and William J. Wilson, and the sculpture of freed slave Eugène Warburg—Kaplan lays bare how racial attitudes expressed in mid-nineteenth-century American art were deeply inflected by European traditions. By highlighting the contributions people of black African descent made to the fine arts in the United States during this period, along with the ways in which they were represented, Contraband Guides provides a fresh perspective on the theme of race in Civil War–era American art. It will appeal to art historians, to specialists in African American studies and American studies, and to general readers interested in American art and African American history.African American artEuropean influencesAfrican American art19th centuryArt, American19th centuryAfrican Americans in artHistory19th centuryArt and raceHistory19th centuryBlack people in artHistory19th centuryElectronic books.African American artEuropean influences.African American artArt, AmericanAfrican Americans in artHistoryArt and raceHistoryBlack people in artHistory704.0396073Kaplan Paul H.

Among these texts is a 600-lines long document (no. 1) recording in unusual detail the daily routine followed in the temples of the city of Larsa and thus sheds light on the religious practices of the ancient Babylonians. Using this document as its point of departure, the first part of the book examines those practices - the service of the gods and the performance of the clergy. This document is especially important for the history of ancient religion.Cuneiform monographs ;v. 33.Akkadian languageTextsCuneiform inscriptions, AkkadianBabyloniaHistorySourcesBabyloniaReligionAkkadian languageCuneiform inscriptions, Akkadian.492.1Westenholz Joan Goodnick1943-1756137Westenholz Aage635118Muzeon artsot ha-Mikra (Jerusalem)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826677203321Cuneiform inscriptions in the collection of the Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem4193253UNINA
