Free Download The Old South’s Modern Worlds: Slavery, Region, and Nation in the Age of Progress By L. Diane Barnes, Brian Schoen, Frank Towers
2011 | 352 Pages | ISBN: 0195384016 | PDF | 2 MB
The Old South has traditionally been portrayed as an insular and backward-looking society. The Old South’s Modern Worlds looks beyond this myth to identify some of the many ways that antebellum southerners were enmeshed in the modernizing trends of their time. The essays gathered in this volume not only tell unexpected narratives of the Old South, they also explore the compatibility of slavery-the defining feature of antebellum southern life-with cultural and material markers of modernity such as moral reform, cities, and industry. Considered as proponents of American manifest destiny, for example, antebellum southern politicians look more like nationalists and less like separatists. Though situated within distinct communities, Southerners’-white, black, and red-participated in and responded to movements global in scope and transformative in effect. The turmoil that changes in Asian and European agriculture wrought among southern staple producers shows the interconnections between seemingly isolated southern farms and markets in distant lands. Deprovincializing the antebellum South, The Old South’s Modern Worlds illuminates a diverse region both shaped by and contributing to the complex transformations of the nineteenth-century world.

Free Download Going South: Jewish Women in the Civil Rights Movement By Debra L. Schultz, Blanche Wiesen Cook
2001 | 248 Pages | ISBN: 0814797741 | PDF | 1 MB
Many people today know that the 1964 murder in Mississippi of two Jewish men–Mickey Schwerner and Andrew Goodman–and their Black colleague, James Chaney, marked one of the most wrenching episodes of the civil rights movement. Yet very few realize that Andrew Goodman had been in Mississippi for one day when he was killed; Rita Schwerner, Mickey’s wife, had been organizing in Mississippi for six difficult months. Organized around a rich blend of oral histories, Going South followsa group of Jewish women–come of age in the shadow of the Holocaust and deeply committed to social justice–who put their bodies and lives on the line to fight racism. Actively rejecting the post-war idyll of suburban, Jewish, middle-class life, these women were deeply influenced by Jewish notions of morality and social justice. Many thus perceived the call of the movement as positively irresistible. Representing a link between the sensibilities of the early civil rights era and contemporary efforts to move beyond the limits of identity politics, the book provides a resource for all who are interested in anti-racism, the civil rights movement, social justice, Jewish activism and radical women’s traditions.
