Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A stunning graphic history of how enslaved Africans on board the Amistad rebelled and captured the slave ship in 1839, challenging a whitewashed version of history and putting the Africans back at the center of their own freedom storyFrom the trio of Rediker, Lester, and Buhle comes another g…raphic 'history from below' about the Amistad rebellion of 1839 when 53 enslaved Africans on the slave ship Amistad slipped out of their restraints and overpowered their enslavers and ship's crew. Sold into slavery in their homeland of Sierra Leone and later bound for Puerto Príncipe, Cuba, from Havana, these Africans, led by the charismatic warrior Cinqué, forced the ship's remaining crew to sail homeward.Divided into 3 parts, The Black Schooner begins with the intense night of the uprising and takes readers on a reconstructed journey: from sailing on the open ocean to a New Haven, Connecticut, jail, where the captured Africans awaited trial for mutiny and murder; to the Supreme courtroom that found that the rebels had been illegally enslaved and would now be free to return to their native land. Through it all, artist David Lester chronicles their story using striking imagery, showing how they achieved an unexpected and powerful international victory for the abolitionist movement and forced some of the most powerful people in the world to confront the issue of human bondage.Based on Rediker's book The Amistad Rebellion: An Atlantic Odyssey of Slavery and Freedom, The Black Schooner challenges a whitewashed history and instead, puts the Africans back at the center of their own freedom storywhere they belong. Lester, David (illustrator).

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A sweeping cultural history of two iconic landmarks that reflect the spirit, character, and values of the USthe Empire State Building and the Statue of Libertyand the role they play in shaping American culture, US history, and international relationsIn Empire and Liberty, historian Dr. Vaneesa Cook…explores how the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty have served as lightning rods for debates about the irreconcilable tensions between empire and liberty that have existed since American independence, defining the contours of American identity.The two landmarks, typically considered separately not comparatively, reflect much about the struggle of American identity. When studied in tandem, it becomes clear that they represent touchpoints for debates over ideas and ideals about who Americans are and what they want.Empire and Liberty raises questions such as:- How could women embrace a Statue of Liberty that was erected before they had the right to vote - How could African Americans believe in a nation dedicated to liberty that deliberately left them out - How much freedom could immigrants feel while stuck in low-wage jobs, facing discrimination and racism How much could they appreciate the benefits of empire when they rarely reaped its fruits Cook illuminates how this story of two tied landmarks is essentially about the American people and their experienceshow they construed the structures as symbols of empire and liberty and how they imbued the structures with spirit and character.
