“In winter the bare trees are black against the snow and sky in the Old Burying Ground on Pleasant Street. Like frosting, snow decorates the gravestones of our town’s early families. The Bryants, the Bucknams, the Gerrys, the Greens, the Goulds, the Hays—our founders.

But beyond the cluster of 18th and 19th century stones, there are bare spots where no markers disturb the gentle slope of the earth. Here those with no status in colonial Stoneham lie in unmarked graves. Here are buried the town’s slaves.”

So begins the untold story of slavery and abolition in a town of farmers and shoemakers just north of Boston. Once part of Charlestown, the village was incorporated in 1725 as Stoneham, Massachusetts.

A House Divided: Slavery and Emancipation in Delaware, 1638-1865 by Patience Essah

Topics
#delaware, #unitedstatesofamerika, #slavery, #blackchattelslavery, #antiblackness, #historyofdelaware, #whitesupremacy, #invadercolonialism, #demographyofdelaware

Delaware stood outside the primary streams of New World emancipation. Despite slavery's virtual demise in that state during the antebellum years and Delaware's staunch Unionism during the Civil War itself, the state failed to ratify the Thirteenth Amendment, which prohibits slavery, until 1901. Patience Essah here examines the introduction, evolution, demise, and final abolition of slavery in Delaware. In demonstrating the persistence of slavery in Delaware, she raises important questions about postslavery race relations.

Slavery in the Connecticut Valley of Massachusetts by Robert H. Romer

Topics
#blackchattelslavery, #massachusetts, #slavery, #connecticutvalley, #newengland, #unitedstatesofamerika, #britishcolonialism, #colonialism, #pioneervalley, #deerfield, #Africandiaspora, #antiblackness

In this first history of slavery in western Massachusetts in colonial times, Robert H. Romer demonstrates that slavery was pervasive in the Pioneer Valley in the 1700s, where many of the ministers and other “important people” owned black slaves. To show the role of slavery in the valley, Professor Romer presents a “snapshot” of slavery, choosing a moment (1752) and a place (the main street of Deerfield) to present detailed information about the slaves who lived in that place at that time — and their owners.

This book is the answer to a lie.

The lie is that there are no political prisoners in the United States.

The truth, as reflected in these pages, is that U.S. prisons hold almost 200 men and women jailed for their political acts. They are held because of their protests against racism, injustice, and imperialism. They come from almost every national and ethnic group. Some, like the former Black Panthers and Black Liberation Army militants, have been in jail almost as long as South Africa's Nelson Mandela before his release. Some were imprisoned for non-violent protests, some for armed action; some were out-and-out framed.

All share a profound commitment to resistance, and a deep belief in humanity. Their poems and stories, article and art works eloquently expose the human truth behind the official lie.

Elite Education and the Private School: Excellence and Arrogance at Phillips Exeter Academy by Alan H. Levy

#PhillipsExeterAcademy, #PhillipsExeter, #unitedstatesofamerika, #privateschools, #prepschools, #charterschools, #gradeschool, #eliteschools, #eliteschooling, #rulingclasseducation, #exeter, #newhampshire, #educationinnewhampshire, #educationinnewengland, #newenglandelite, #elitism, #secondaryschool, #secondaryschooling

Considers many components of current crises and dilemmas in education through an analysis of one of the most celebrated secondary schools in the nation, Phillips Exeter Academy. Illustrates how styles and techniques at Exeter have grown to eclipse educational content, a stasis resulting from an "education school" mentality among the teaching establishment that adversely affects American instruction. Levy examines the "corporate culture" of Exeter and the way in which a surreal relationship of genuine and illegitimate standards stymies intellectual development among faculty, and hence, among students. Also deals with the way students' problems with drugs, depression, sexuality, and suicide are either mishandled or ignored.
