He takes as a tutor in Chinese the young Belgian Ren Leys, who claims to be in the know about strange goings-on in the Imperial Palace: love affairs, family quarrels, conspiracies that threaten the very existence of the empire.

Описание: Republication on the 25th Anniversary of Pretends to be Free: Runaway Slave Advertisements from Colonial and Revolutionary New York and New Jersey recognizes the signal importance of its sterling presentation of northern self-emancipation. Today, even more than a quarter-century ago, these fugitive slave notices are the best verbal snapshots of enslaved Americans before and during the American Revolution. Black allegiances during our War for Independence are now standard aspects of the revolutionary narrative. Pretends to be Free, with its illuminating glossary of forgotten terms and clothing styles, double index of names and escape methods, and useful statistics, remains the best collection available on early American self-emancipation through flight. Replete with a preface by Ed Baptist, the leading scholar of slavery and capitalism and director of a massive project aimed at digitalizing every escape notice, and with a new introduction and teacher's guide by Graham Hodges, this new edition makes this documentary study more relevant than ever. Long out-of-print, and now available in this handy reprint, Pretends to be Free offers over eight hundred notices, some with extraordinary sagas. Long before enslaved African Americans wrote their own narratives, their angry and frustrated masters and mistresses offered vivid descriptions of their bodies, personalities, clothing, skills and often their powerful interactions. Instructors can find innumerable examples or create group biographies in the classroom. Any reader will find fascinating tales of those who fled be free.

Upon the 25th anniversary of his passing, this collection addresses the wide application of Victor Turner’s thought to cultural performance in the early 21st century. From anthropology, sociology, and religious studies to performance, cultural, and media studies, Turner’s ideas have had a prodigious interdisciplinary impact. Examining his relevance in studies of performance and popular culture, media, and religion, along with the role of Edith Turner in the Turnerian project, contributors explore how these ideas have been re-engaged, renovated, and repurposed in studies of contemporary cultural performance.

The cartmen—unskilled workers who hauled goods on one horsecarts—were perhaps the most important labor group in early American cities. The forerunners of the Teamsters Union, these white-frocked laborers moved almost all of the nation’s possessions, touching the lives of virtually every American. New York City Cartmen, 1667–1850 tells the story of this vital group of laborers. Besides documenting the cartmen’s history, the book also demonstrates the tremendous impact of government intervention into the American economy via the creation of labor laws.
The cartmen possessed a hard-nosed political awareness, and because they transported essential goods, they achieved a status in New York City far above their skills or financial worth. Civic support and discrimination helped the cartmen create a community all their own. The cartmen's culture and their relationship with New York's municipal government are the direct ancestors of the city's fabled taxicab drivers. But this book is about the city itself. It is a stirring street-level account of the growth of New York, growth made possible by the efforts of the cartmen and other unskilled laborers. Containing 23 black-and-white illustrations, New York City Cartmen is informative reading for social, urban, and labor historians.
