Breen and Innes: "Myne Owne Ground": Race and Freedom on Virginia's Eastern Shore (1980)
[ send me this essay ]
(5 pp) In the seventeenth century, blacks who were either slaves or indentured servants had, at least in one part of the South, a unique window of opportunity open to freedom. Their story is seldom known, and worth a closer look because of the lessons it teaches about the power of free markets and personal freedom. In "Myne Owne Ground," professors, T. H. Breen and Stephen Innes describe settlements on the Eastern Shore of Virginia between the years 1640 and 1680, and reflect the impacts these free blacks had on the surrounding community. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

[ send me this essay ]
This 6 page report discusses Brian Ward’s 1998 book that looks at forty years of Black music in America and the ways in which its development paralleled that of the political and civil rights movements of the times. Ward makes the point that it was Rhythm and Blues that became the first musical genre to successfully permeate white American culture. As a cultural historian, Ward is able to eloquently present a number of fascinating correlations between white admiration for black music (and culture) and how it related to and still relates to racial inequalities.

Briton Hammon’s “Narrative of the Uncommon Sufferings, and Surprizing Deliverance of Briton Hammon”: Against the Status Quo
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing Briton Hammon’s narrative and elements which seem to go against the norms of the time. Briton Hammon’s narrative of his thirteen years at sea seems in many ways to go against the norms of society believed to have existed at that time. Hammon, a slave, was released by his Master to serve at sea. Throughout the narrative, Hammon relates his treatment and his impression of others as if he is a British citizen and this is reflected in his story. Although it appeared he wished to go to sea at the beginning, his final passages express his relief and gratitude for being returned to his Master and his “Native” land, America. Hammon’s story breaks with the status quo and the impressions of the time in that not only was he the first African American prose writer, he also considered himself properly treated by his Master, felt an alliance with Britain and America, was desired and sought after by the Indians and the Governor of Havana and received full wages for his work on the ships while serving Britain. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Bryce Courtenay's "The Power Of One": Alternative Ending
[ send me this essay ]
7 pages in length. Rising up against social dictate is never an easy objective, particularly when one is a child of African apartheid. Peekay, the protagonist in Bryce Courtenay's The Power of One overtly abandons all he knows of racial and political limitations, choosing instead to focus his life upon the elements of positive approach. Clearly, the only means by which Peekay could break free from the inherent constraints of racial tension was to rise above it. Changing the ending from the unexpected tryst between the hero and the neo-Nazi is not that difficult a task, inasmuch as one might readily envision a majority of South Africa's white voters ratifying de Klerk's decision to progress toward black majority rule. No additional sources cited.
