Archival Communities - Derek Kane O'leary - Bog - University of Virginia Press - Plusbog.dk

Archival Communities - Derek Kane O'leary - Bog - University of Virginia Press - Plusbog.dk

Recently, scholars have begun to analyze anew the ways in which the historical archives on which they rely were constructed, finding that early archivists often preserved and thereby privileged only elite stories and perspectives. Derek O'Leary now widens the lens to argue that crucial components of America's archives emerged from within an Atlantic world of circulating scholars, evidence, practices, and ideas. As he shows, US archives--and the historical narratives spanned by the documents preserved within them--derived their inspiration, materials, and meaning from this international context. Although he does not contest that archival institutions at the local, state, and national level were the domain of privileged men, O'Leary's Atlantic World frame allows him to uncover a far broader community of people engaged with archives, including women who influenced archival collecting and public perceptions of the nation’s historical record.

Creating the British Atlantic - Jack P. Greene - Bog - University of Virginia Press - Plusbog.dk

Creating the British Atlantic - Jack P. Greene - Bog - University of Virginia Press - Plusbog.dk

Set mostly within an expansive British imperial and transatlantic framework, this new selection of writings from the renowned historian Jack P. Greene draws on themes he has been developing throughout his distinguished career. In these essays Greene explores the efforts to impose Old World institutions, identities, and values upon the New World societies being created during the colonisation process. He shows how transplanted Old World components—political, legal, and social—were adapted to meet the demands of new, economically viable, expansive cultural hearths. Greene argues that these transplantations and adaptations were of fundamental importance in the formation and evolution of the new American republic and the society it represented. The scope of this work allows Greene to consider in depth numerous subjects, including the dynamics of colonisation, the development and character of provincial identities, the relationship between new settler societies in America and the emerging British Empire, and the role of cultural power in social and political formation.

Journeys of the Slave Narrative in the Early Americas - - Bog - University of Virginia Press - Plusbog.dk

Journeys of the Slave Narrative in the Early Americas - - Bog - University of Virginia Press - Plusbog.dk

Focusing on slave narratives from the Atlantic world of the eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries, this interdisciplinary collection of essays suggests the importance - even the necessity - of looking beyond the iconic and ubiquitous works of Olaudah Equiano, Frederick Douglass, and Harriet Jacobs. In granting sustained critical attention to writers such as Briton Hammon, Omar Ibn Said, Juan Francisco Manzano, Nat Turner, and Venture Smith, among others, this book makes a crucial contribution not only to scholarship on the slave narrative but also to our understanding of early African American and Black Atlantic literature. The essays explore the social and cultural contexts, the aesthetic and rhetorical techniques, and the political and ideological features of these noncanonical texts. By concentrating on earlier slave narratives not only from the United States but from the Caribbean, South America, and Latin America as well, the volume highlights the inherent transnationality of the genre, illuminating its complex cultural origins and global circulation.

Making the Early Modern Metropolis - Daniel P. Johnson - Bog - University of Virginia Press - Plusbog.dk

Making the Early Modern Metropolis - Daniel P. Johnson - Bog - University of Virginia Press - Plusbog.dk

Philadelphia was the most dynamic city in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century British America. In Making the Early Modern Metropolis, Daniel Johnson takes a thematic approach to Philadelphia''s related economic, legal, and popular cultures to provide a comprehensive view of its urban development. As he reveals, it was in the interplay of inherited and often competing systems of belief during a period of profound transformation throughout the Atlantic world that early modern cities like Philadelphia were made.

The Haitian Revolution in the Literary Imagination - Philip Kaisary - Bog - University of Virginia Press - Plusbog.dk

The Haitian Revolution in the Literary Imagination - Philip Kaisary - Bog - University of Virginia Press - Plusbog.dk

The Haitian Revolution (1791–1804) reshaped the debates about slavery and freedom throughout the Atlantic world, accelerated the abolitionist movement, precipitated rebellions in neighbouring territories, and intensified both repression and antislavery sentiment. The story of the birth of the world’s first independent black republic has since held an iconic fascination for a diverse array of writers, artists, and intellectuals throughout the Atlantic diaspora. Examining twentieth-century responses to the Haitian Revolution, Philip Kaisary offers a profound new reading of the representation of the Revolution by radicals and conservatives alike in primary texts that span English, French, and Spanish languages and that include poetry, drama, history, biography, fiction, and opera. In a complementary focus on canonical works by Aimé Césaire, C. L. R. James, Edouard Glissant, and Alejo Carpentier in addition to the work of René Depestre, Langston Hughes, and Madison Smartt Bell, Kaisary argues that the Haitian Revolution generated an enduring cultural and ideological inheritance. He addresses critical understandings and fictional reinventions of the Revolution and thinks through how, and to what effect, authors of major diasporic texts have metamorphosed and appropriated this spectacular corner of black revolutionary history.
