Uncle Tom charts the dramatic cultural transformation of perhaps the most controversial literary character in American history. From his origins as the heroic, Christ-like protagonist of Harriet Beecher Stowe's anti-slavery novel, the best-selling book of the nineteenth century after the Bible, Uncle Tom has become a widely recognized epithet for a black person deemed so subservient to whites that he betrays his race. Readers have long noted that Stowe's character is not the traitorous sycophant that his name connotes today. Adena Spingarn traces his evolution in the American imagination, offering the first comprehensive account of a figure central to American conversations about race and racial representation from 1852 to the present. We learn of the radical political potential of the novel's many theatrical spinoffs even in the Jim Crow era, Uncle Tom's breezy disavowal by prominent voices of the Harlem Renaissance, and a developing critique of "Uncle Tom roles" in Hollywood. Within the stubborn American binary of black and white, citizens have used this rhetorical figure to debate the boundaries of racial difference and the legacy of slavery. Through Uncle Tom, black Americans have disputed various strategies for racial progress and defined the most desirable and harmful images of black personhood in literature and popular culture.

Описание: The little town of Lewes was ordinary, but it had the dubious distinction of hosting 'the biggest bonfire in England' by burning ten Protestants at once outside the Star Inn in High Street. False martyrdom is looked at, and genuine martyrdom is defined - it has nothing to do with psyching yourself up with glazed eyes, or personal determination True martyrdom is something only God can allow. Christians must be alert, for Christians are martyred every day in Islamic countries, and Indian Hinduism is following the same pattern. Will Christian Martyrs be found in the West, one day soon?
