E-BooksCrossings Africa, the Americas and the Atlantic Slave Trade





Crossings Africa, the Americas and the Atlantic Slave Trade
Crossings: Africa, the Americas and the Atlantic Slave Trade by James Walvin
English | October 15, 2013 | ISBN: 1780231946 | EPUB | 256 pages | 9.4 MB
We all know the story of the slave trade-the infamous Middle Passage, the horrifying conditions on slave ships, the millions that died on the journey, and the auctions that awaited the slaves upon their arrival in the Americas. But much of the writing on the subject has focused on the European traders and the arrival of slaves in North America. In Crossings, eminent historian James Walvin covers these established territories while also traveling back to the story's origins in Africa and south to Brazil, an often forgotten part of the triangular trade, in an effort to explore the broad sweep of slavery across the Atlantic.

E-BooksAtlantic Outlooks on Being at Home Gaelic Place-Lore and the Construction of a Sense of Place in Medieval Iceland





Atlantic Outlooks on Being at Home Gaelic Place-Lore and the Construction of a Sense of Place in Medieval Iceland
Atlantic Outlooks on Being at Home: Gaelic Place-Lore and the Construction of a Sense of Place in Medieval Iceland By Matthias Egeler
2018 | 324 Pages | ISBN: 9514111257 | PDF | 28 MB
Much of both Icelandic and medieval Irish literature is, in one way or another, storytelling about places, reflecting a deep engagement with the concept of 'place' and the creation of a 'sense of place'. This book takes as its starting point the shared interest that Icelandic and Irish storytelling have in 'place' and asks whether the medieval Icelandic sense of place, as reflected in Icelandic narrative culture, has been influenced by the close contacts that existed during the Viking Age between Iceland and the Gaelic-speaking world of Ireland and Scotland. In attempting to answer this question, the book contributes to the long-standing debate about Gaelic influences in Icelandic culture, the much more recent discourse on the spatiality of medieval Icelandic literature and storytelling, and the cultural history of the Icelandic Settlement Period. Obliquely, the findings of the book may even shed light on the origins of Icelandic saga literature. Along the way, it also offers insights on a number of general points of spatial theory as well as, in particular, on two medieval Icelandic texts that are especially place-focused: 'Landnámabók', the 'Book of Settlements', and 'Eyrbyggja saga', the 'Saga of the Inhabitants of Eyr'.

E-BooksQueer Atlantic Masculinity, Mobility, and the Emergence of Modernist Form





Queer Atlantic Masculinity, Mobility, and the Emergence of Modernist Form
Daniel Hannah, "Queer Atlantic: Masculinity, Mobility, and the Emergence of Modernist Form"
English | ISBN: 0228005663 | 2021 | 240 pages | PDF | 1035 KB
The instability of modernist form has everything to do with the social, political, and economic shakeups of the nineteenth century that left masculinity a site of contestation, racial anxiety, homophobic paranoia, performative display, and queer desire. Refusing to take white masculinity for granted, Daniel Hannah considers how the canonical novels of modernist fiction explore the ways that privilege is propped up and driven by factors of race, place, gender, and sexuality. Queer Atlantic examines the work of established writers - Herman Melville, Robert Louis Stevenson, Henry James, Joseph Conrad, and Ford Madox Ford - to reveal that anxieties surrounding white, masculine privilege and queer potential helped broaden the novel's formal possibilities. Demonstrating how masculine mobility, and often specifically transatlantic mobility, both enacts and queerly disorients male privilege, Hannah places these writers in the context of debates about naval impressment, piracy, emigration, colonization, and the "new imperialism." In the process he raises important questions about the current field of queer ethics, highlighting the strange companionship of queer openness to otherness and imperialist thought in modernist writing. Arguing for the surprising resilience of such fictional structures, Queer Atlantic provides a new understanding of modernism's emergence from a troubling of masculine privilege, mobility, and desire.

E-BooksChallenging the Black Atlantic The New World Novels of Zapata Olivella and Gonçalves





Challenging the Black Atlantic The New World Novels of Zapata Olivella and Gonçalves
John T. Maddox IV, "Challenging the Black Atlantic: The New World Novels of Zapata Olivella and Gonçalves"
English | ISBN: 1684481872 | 2020 | 350 pages | PDF | 3 MB
The historical novels of Manuel Zapata Olivella and Ana Maria Gonçalves map black journeys from Africa to the Americas in a way that challenges the Black Atlantic paradigm that has become synonymous with cosmopolitan African diaspora studies. Unlike Paul Gilroy, who coined the term and based it on W.E.B. DuBois's double consciousness, Zapata, in Changó el gran putas (1983), creates an empowering mythology that reframes black resistance in Colombia, Haiti, Mexico, Brazil, and the United States. In Um defeito de cor (2006), Gonçalves imagines the survival strategies of a legendary woman said to be the mother of black abolitionist poet Luís Gama and a conspirator in an African Muslim-led revolt in Brazil's "Black Rome." These novels show differing visions of revolution, black community, femininity, sexuality, and captivity. They skillfully reveal how events preceding the UNESCO Decade of Afro-Descent (2015-2024) alter our understanding of Afro-Latin America as it gains increased visibility.

E-BooksAn Atlantic Crossing The Work of the International Examination Inquiry, its Researchers, Methods and Influence





An Atlantic Crossing The Work of the International Examination Inquiry, its Researchers, Methods and Influence
An Atlantic Crossing? The Work of the International Examination Inquiry, its Researchers, Methods and Influence By Martin Lawn
2008 | 210 Pages | ISBN: 1873927266 | PDF | 5 MB
This book focuses on the International Examinations Inquiry (IEI), an international, well-funded scientific project that operated in the 1930s, attracting key world figures in educational research, and which undertook significant exchanges of data.Originally involving the USA, Scotland, England, France, Germany and Switzerland, the IEI grew to include Norway, Sweden and Finland. Funded by Carnegie money, these researchers included major comparative educationalists, New Education Fellowship academics, statisticians and educational psychologists. They met at a significant time in the emergence of international scientific work in educational research between the USA and Europe; they were a midway stage between earlier individual contacts by well-travelled researchers, usually towards North America, and the development of joint research projects, sustained over time.The focus of the IEI was on methods of examining pupils for the coming expansion of secondary education, but their key problems were to do with establishing standardized methods of measurement, international scholarly communication and comparative understandings of national diversity. The IEI researchers acted to support national achievements and strategies within the borders of the nation and internationally, to exchange methods and results. In retrospect, they appear to be visible in their knowledge communities and national education histories but invisible in their internationalism.

E-BooksAtlantic Nightmare The Longest Continuous Military Campaign in World War Ii [Audiobook]





Atlantic Nightmare The Longest Continuous Military Campaign in World War Ii [Audiobook]
English | ASIN: B08YJV73RK | 2021 | 12 hours and 9 minutes |MP3|M4B | 662 MB
No other battle of the Second World War lasted longer than the 2,075 days of the Battle of the Atlantic. It raged from the opening day of the war in September 1939 until it ended almost six years later with Germany's surrender in May 1945. Vital supplies of food, fuel, and the raw materials needed by the Allies to wage war had to be transported in merchant ships in escorted convoys across the Atlantic Ocean, where they were at the mercy of German U-boats and warships. At first, many were lost. The fall of France in June 1940 gave the U-boats bases on the Atlantic coast, and U-boat production increased, allowing the Germans to now hunt in "wolf packs".

E-BooksVikings across the Atlantic Emigration and the Building of a Greater Norway, 1860-1945





Vikings across the Atlantic Emigration and the Building of a Greater Norway, 1860-1945
Vikings across the Atlantic: Emigration and the Building of a Greater Norway, 1860-1945 By Daron W. Olson
2012 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 0816651418 | PDF | 17 MB
Around the year 1000 a Viking ship landed on the Atlantic coast of what would one day be North America. Nearly a millennium later, on June 7, 1945, Norway's King Haakon VII returned from exile under guard of the American Ninety-ninth-or "Viking"-Battalion. InVikings across the Atlantic, Daron W. Olson reveals how these two moments form narrative poles for the vision of a Greater Norway that expanded the boundaries of the Norwegian nation.Looking at matters of religion, literature, media, and ethnicity, Olson explores how Norwegian Americans' myths about themselves changed over time in relation to a broader Anglo-American culture, while at the same time influencing and being influenced by the burgeoning national culture of their homeland. Beginning in the 1920s, homeland Norwegian identity-makers framed the concept of the Greater Norway, which viewed the Norwegian nation as having two halves: Norwegians who resided in the homeland and those who had emigrated from Norway, especially those in America. Far from being merely symbolic, this idea, Olson shows, was actually tested by the ordeal of World War II, when Norwegians the world over demonstrated their willingness to sacrifice and even die for the Greater Norway.In its transnational approach, Olson's book brings a new perspective to immigrant studies and theories of nationalism;Vikings across the Atlanticdepicts the nation as a larger community in which membership is constructed or imagined, a status of belonging defined not by physical proximity but through qualities such as culture and shared traditions.
