By emphasizing her narrator's maternal sentiments, Jacobs resists prevailing beliefs concerning black women's indifference to their children while also establishing an important association between her protagonist Linda Brent and domestic ideologies.1 Much like Harriet Beecher Stowe and other nineteenthcentury writers of sentimental fiction, Jacobs describes "nurture as a quintessence of the maternal that crosses race and class boundaries" (Stephanie Smith 215).
The second work, "Incidents" (1998), takes its title from the 1861 autobiography of Harriet Jacobs, "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl," which chronicles her journey from slavery to freedom. [Ronald K Brown]'s program notes describe the dance as an exploration of how "the remnants of the slave narrative live in the body and actions of women. Its music begins and concludes with Duke Ellington's soaring gospel composition, "Come Sunday," sung first by Jinmiy McPhail, then by Jennifer Holiday. In between are "Gabriel and Rock Shock," a pulsing spul-house track by Roy Davis, Jr., and the Nigerian Afrobeat hit "Shakara" by FeIa Anikulapo Kuti. Performed by all eight dancers, including Brown, the dance seamlessly shifts from Ellington to hip-hop and back, finding exalting jubilation in e...

Assimilation through adoption is represented as a betrayal of one's race and a shirking of one's duty toward one's people.17 If the beliefs of both pro- and antislavery writers converged at the idea that whites were responsible for blacks' care, manifested either as paternalism in slavery or the liberal tradition in abolitionism, Harper's separatist solution rejects the model of care/dependence entirely and advocates blacks' independence.

Published in 1952, [Ralph Ellison]'s Invisible Man shared a title and mission of social commentary with H.G. Wells' satire of the previous century. Invisible Man has been for many reasons an enduring American presence. Ellison's nameless protagonist is invisible not through his own agency but precisely because people refuse to see him. This depiction of societal invisibility is haunting in light of the paradoxical hypervisibility and invisibility of the black segment of American society. The father of pan-Africanism, W.E.B. Du Bois was among many black thinkers and activists who defined the parameters of protest and resistance and laid down the underlying principles upon which blacks in the United States and around the world were to demand equal political and economic rights. The pr...

Given the relative absence of African Americans from the public record as well as the archive, Yellin and her colleagues Joseph M. Thomas, Kate Culkin, and Scott Korb selected other documents for inclusion as well: wills and other legal documents, newspaper articles and advertisements for lecture tours and publications, and letters and diary entries by people whose lives intersected with those of Jacobs and her family. The Papers are supplemented by a table of contents, a brief editorial introduction, a chronology combining events in Jacobs's life and relevant events in United States and abolitionist history, brief biographies of people who figure prominently in the lives of Jacobs and her family, a list of documents not included in the edition, a Jacobs family tree, and an index.
