Ar'n't I a Woman? Female Slaves in the Plantation South, Revised Edition with a new introduction and an additional chapter Deborah Gray White W. W. Norton This new edition
of Ar'n't I a Woman? reviews and updates the
scholarship on slave women and the slave family,
exploring new ways of understanding the intersection of
race and gender and comparing the myths that stereotyped
female slaves with the realities of their lives. Above
all, this groundbreaking study shows us how black women
experienced freedom in the Reconstruction South —
their heroic struggle to gain their rights, hold their
families together, resist economic and sexual oppression,
and maintain their sense of womanhood against all odds. |

American Patriots MIS In the War Against Japan Stanley L. Falk and Warren M. Tsuneishi Japanese American Veterans Association American Patriots: MIS in the War Against Japan is not a long book, and it is not a “heavy” book, but it is an amazing and revealing book. Based on a series of interviews with Caucasian and Japanese American veterans of the Military Intelligence Service, American Patriots tells the stories of the Japanese American translators who served in the Pacific Theater during and after World War II. Some of the stories are as hair-raising, and heroic as any movie by Steven Spielberg or Tom Hanks. This book adds important stories to both World War II and American history. |
