Описание: 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 deomnstrating the persistence of slavery in Delaware, she raises important questions about postslavery race relations.

Описание:
Bringing together historically and ethnographically grounded studies of the social and political life of Brazil and Mexico, this collection of essays revitalizes resistance as an area of study. Resistance studies boomed in the 1980s and then was subject to a wave of critique in the 1990s. Covering the colonial period to the present day, the case studies in this collection suggest that, even if much of that critique was justified, resistance remains a useful analytic rubric. The collection has three sections, each of which is preceded by a short introduction. A section focused on religious institutions and movements is bracketed by one featuring historical studies from the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries and another gathering more contemporary, ethnographically-based studies. Introducing the collection, the anthropologist John Gledhill traces the debates about resistance studies. In the conclusion, Alan Knight provides a historian’s perspective on the broader implications of the contributors’ findings.

Описание: Children often do not understand why they have to wait for something to happen. "Just Wait" is a lesson in patience. It teaches that having to wait can be a good thing. "All things come to those who wait" is a phrase well remembered. In this charming story, a small caterpillar is told to wait, but he does not know why. He simply obeys and waits. In the end, he finds out why he had to remain patient for so long. He spreads his wings as a beautiful butterfly, and he relays the message to another. Beautifully illustrated and written with plenty of heart, this wonderful story shares an important message that children - and adults - should hold onto for life. Waiting is not always easy, but it can lead to the greatest rewards.
