The Southern Awakenings were a climax to a long period of intensive racial interaction, and, as a result, the culture of Americans--blacks and whites--was deeply affected by African values and perceptions. The interpenetration of Western and African values took place very early, beginning with the large-scale importation of Africans into the South in the last decades of the seventeenth century. In spite of a significant interpenetration of values between the two races, the whites were usually unaware of their own change in this process. Nevertheless, in perceptions of time, in esthetics, in approaches to ecstatic religious experience and to understanding the Holy Spirit, in ideas of the afterworld and of the proper ways to honor the spirits of the dead, African influence was deep and far-reaching.

In the recent past, enormous creative energy has gone into the study of American slavery, with major explorations of the extent to which African culture affected the culture of black Americans and with an almost totally new assessment of slave culture as Afro-American. Accompanying this new awareness of the African values brought into America, however, is an automatic assumption that white traditions influenced black ones. In this view, although the institution of slaver is seen as important, blacks are not generally treated as actors nor is their "divergent culture" seen as having had a wide-ranging effect on whites. Historians working in this area generally assume two social systems in America, one black and one white, and cultural divergence between slaves and masters. It is the thesis of this book that blacks, Africans, and Afro-Americans, deeply influenced white's perceptions, values, and identity, and that although two world views existed, there was a deep symbiotic relatedness that must be explored if we are to understand either or both of them. This exploration raises many questions and suggests many possibilities and probabilities, but it also establishes how thoroughly whites and blacks intermixed within the system of slavery and how extensive was the resulting cultural interaction.

One day in 1698, Robert Pyle of Pennsylvania decided to buy a black slave. The next night he dreamed of a steep ladder to heaven that he felt he could not climb because he carried a black pot. In the dream, a man told him the ladder was the light of Jesus Christ and would bear any whose faith held strong; otherwise, the climber would fall. Pyle woke that morning positive that he should eschew slaves and slavery, having equated the pot with the slave he wished to buy. In fact, so acutely did this dream awaken him to his sins that he became a dynamic advocate of liberation. This dream literally changed his outlook and his life. Teach Me Dreams delves into the dream world of ordinary Americans and finds that as their self-perception increased, transforming them on a personal level, so did a revolutionary spirit that wrought momentous political changes. Mechal Sobel considers dreams recorded in the life narratives of 100 people, revealing the America of the Revolutionary Era to have been a truly dream-infused culture in which analysis of dreams was encouraged, and subsequent personal reevaluation was striking. Sobel uses a wealth of information--letters, diaries, and over 200 published autobiographies from a wide range of "ordinary" people; black, white, male, female. In these accounts, many previously neglected by historians, dreamers explain how their nighttime adventures opened their eyes to aspects of themselves, or unveiled new paths they should take both personally and politically. Such paths often led them to challenge those in power. Charting the widely dreamed of opposition between blacks and whites, men and women, Sobel offers astounding new insights into how early Americans understood their lives. Her analysis of the dreams and lives of ordinary Revolutionary-Era people demonstrates links between dreaming, self reevaluation, and participation in the radically changing politics of the time. This book will appeal to specialists in the fields of American and African-American history, and anyone interested in dreams and self-development.

Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race,” a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of black women and men—bodies exploited through slavery and segregation, and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’s attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son. Coates shares with his son—and readers—the story of his awakening to the truth about his place in the world through a series of revelatory experiences, from Howard University to Civil War battlefields, from the South Side of Chicago to Paris, from his childhood home to the living rooms of mothers whose children’s lives were taken as American plunder. Beautifully woven from personal narrative, reimagined history, and fresh, emotionally charged reportage, Between the World and Me clearly illuminates the past, bracingly confronts our present, and offers a transcendent vision for a way forward.

How can we make the world better? Together, through increasing awareness and initiating action, we can make the world better. This socially conscious children's book includes an integrated discussion guide with vocabulary and facts. Perfect for school, community, or home, adults and teens can encourage children to pay attention to the world around them, ignite compassion, and inspire them to take action that initiates positive change. Together, We Can Make The World Better! Recommended for ages 3 to 7 Learn more at togetherwecanseries.com. Let's get social: #togetherwecanbook. A note to the reader (excerpted from the book): The goal of this book is to increase awareness and initiate action. Increasing social consciousness can decrease implicit bias (unconsciously-held set of associations about a social group). When more people hold fewer biases, and when more people serve those who have historically been marginalized, the world will be a better place! To make a change, we must increase awareness and take action. One action is to talk! Each page has discussion questions to help you engage children in reflection and dialogue. Some pages share facts and definitions. In the first part of the book, there are multiple dualities. The objective of the dualities is not to teach either/or thinking, but rather to introduce children to the concepts of: privilege (a special advantage or benefit not enjoyed by all), social consciousness (awareness of important social issues), and compassion (desire to help someone who's in distress). The goal is to encourage children to pay attention to the world around them and begin to recognize unearned disparities. While reading and discussing, it is essential to not make negative assumptions, associations, or encourage blaming. For example, we can teach children: If a child experiences food insecurity (the state of being without reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food),it isn't their fault. If a child always feels safe, they didn't do anything to deserve that more than someone else. A person experiencing a disability can still be strong, healthy, and capable. Someone can be sad and happy at the same time. A person's circumstances don't define them, and shouldn't limit them. When discussing, it is useful to use people or person-first language (PFL). PFL puts a person before a diagnosis or circumstance, describing what a person has rather than asserting what a person is. Examples include a person experiencing homelessness or a student experiencing depression. Remember, together, we can make the world better! About the Author Dr. Meagan Pollock envisions a world where personal and social circumstances are not obstacles to achieving potential, and where kindness, inclusivity, and conservation prevail. An international speaker, teacher, engineer, and equity leader, her mission is to provide services, tools, and resources that inspire awareness and initiate action.

The colorful charts, graphs, and maps presented at the 1900 Paris Exposition by famed sociologist and black rights activist W. E. B. Du Bois offered a view into the lives of black Americans, conveying a literal and figurative representation of "the color line." From advances in education to the lingering effects of slavery, these prophetic infographics —beautiful in design and powerful in content—make visible a wide spectrum of black experience. W. E. B. Du Bois's Data Portraits collects the complete set of graphics in full color for the first time, making their insights and innovations available to a contemporary imagination. As Maria Popova wrote, these data portraits shaped how "Du Bois himself thought about sociology, informing the ideas with which he set the world ablaze three years later in The Souls of Black Folk."

A charming book for all ages to enjoy. The delightful, alphabetically rhymed animal verses, with wonderful illustrations, include the timeless message of the interconnection of all life--that being kind to each other, animals and the Earth will make the world the "greatest home for every generation." It's also clear, from the words around the cover picture, that the book is intended not just for children but for the "grown-ups" and those "in-between" who will be reading it to them. The two animal pieces, about the world's largest and one of the smallest, and their significance in Earth's vital, glorious "Web of Life," contribute fascinating facts about these animals which can be shared with children.
