Edward came from a background of Sumner County planters, doctors, businessmen, and horse breeders. His uncles, Isaac Franklin and John Armfield, gained historic infamy as America's biggest dealers in the domestic slave trade. Edward grew up in the Armfield household, returning in Armfield's last years to nurse him at Beersheba Springs resort, atop the Cumberland Plateau.
Nannie was the educated daughter of industrialist Daniel Hillman, the South's "Iron King." Her brothers would be top players in the industrial development of Birmingham and Pittsburgh. When she visited Beersheba Springs in 1871, she and Edward began a courtship, and after she returned home Edward wrote regularly.
Describing the people and events at the resort, he also writes of the death of John Armfield. Moving afterwards to Nashville, Edward continued his correspondence until their wedding. Yet the occasion was preceded by tragedy--the shocking death of Edward's brother, a four-year Confederate veteran. The brother's will led to a family rift between Edward and his father, respected Gallatin physician, Dr. John W. Franklin. The sensational case of "Franklin v. Franklin" would make its way to the Tennessee Supreme Court.
The Hillman family role in the industrial development of Alabama, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania is also highlighted.
Martin sets the stage for the original 27 letters, following up with an afterword on the family. 90 photos detail the history, and a selection of articles recounts the famous case, "Franklin v. Franklin." Other articles on Beersheba Springs describe the celebrated resort. Martin ends with a rebuttal of slave trader John Armfield's 1871 eulogy in order to contribute to the slave-legacy, reconciliation conversation.

Описание: “Important and provocative . . . There are many tempting reasons to pick up Global Woman.” —The New York Times Women are moving around the globe as never before. But for every female executive racking up frequent flier miles, there are multitudes of women whose journeys go unnoticed. Each year, millions leave third world countries to work in the homes, nurseries, and brothels of the first world. This broad-scale transfer of labor results in an odd displacement, in which the female energy that flows to wealthy countries is subtracted from poor ones—easing a “care deficit” in rich countries, while creating one back home. Confronting a range of topics from the fate of Vietnamese mail-order brides to the importation of Mexican nannies in Los Angeles, "Global Woman" offers an original look at a world increasingly shaped by mass migration and economic exchange. Collected and with an Introduction by bestselling social critics Barbara Ehrenreich and Arlie Russell Hochschild, this groundbreaking anthology reveals a new era in which the main resource extracted from developing nations is no longer gold or silver, but love.
Stroll through any public park in Brooklyn on a weekday afternoon and you will see black women with white children at every turn. Many of these women are of Caribbean descent, and they have long been a crucial component of New York’s economy, providing childcare for white middle- and upper-middleclass families. Raising Brooklyn offers an in-depth look at the daily lives of these childcare providers, examining the important roles they play in the families whose children they help to raise. Tamara Mose Brown spent three years immersed in these Brooklyn communities: in public parks, public libraries, and living as a fellow resident among their employers, and her intimate tour of the public spaces of gentrified Brooklyn deepens our understanding of how these women use their collective lives to combat the isolation felt during the workday as a domestic worker. Though at first glance these childcare providers appear isolated and exploited—and this is the case for many—Mose Brown shows that their daily interactions in the social spaces they create allow their collective lives and cultural identities to flourish. Raising Brooklyn demonstrates how these daily interactions form a continuous expression of cultural preservation as a weapon against difficult working conditions, examining how this process unfolds through the use of cell phones, food sharing, and informal economic systems. Ultimately, Raising Brooklyn places the organization of domestic workers within the framework of a social justice movement, creating a dialogue between workers who don’t believe their exploitative work conditions will change and an organization whose members believe change can come about through public displays of solidarity.

The study of race and ethnicity should be considered as an overlooked subject in the field of Iranian photography. One of the important themes in this regard which requires special attention is photography of enslaved people in Iran during the Qajar period. Students of the field have not shown any particular interest in photography of the enslaved in general, nor of African slaves in particular. Therefore, photography of Africans enslaved during the last decades of the Qajar period (1840s-1920s) should be considered as a new topic in the field of visual studies of modern Iran.
Qajar photographs in which the presence of African slaves (children, women and men) can be observed were mostly taken by Nasser al-Din Shah inside his harem, or in his own studio. The remainder of such photographs were taken by court photographers inside the court, during the king's travels, or on other occasions and locations but outside the court.
This book is the first of its kind to use photographs of the Qajar period to prove the level of ability of the medium to document and simultaneously pathologise the history, culture, story, and maybe struggle of African slave communities in Qajar Iran.
Pedram Khosronejad has amassed an incredible collection of major interest to historians of slavery, Africanists, scholars of photography, anthropologists, and others.
Uniquely and collectively these affecting portraits of stone-faced, sad-eyed men, women and children tell poignant stories of loss, violent separations, and brutal dislocation. Those are their stories and, as is too often forgotten, also those of their families, who lost them forever.
Looking at the vanished world Pedram Khosronejad rescued from oblivion and forces us to confront should also lead us to learn about the resilient contemporary Afro-Iranian community and its place in today's society.
