  • 1 After Slavery & Reconstruction: the Black Struggle in the U.S. for Freedom, Equality, and Self-Realization* —A Bibliogr
    After Slavery & Reconstruction: The Black Struggle in the U.S. for Freedom, Equality, and Self-Realization* —A Bibliography Patrick S. O’Donnell (2020) Jacob Lawrence, Library, 1966 Apologia— Several exceptions notwithstanding (e.g., some titles treating the Reconstruction Era), this bibliography begins, roughly, with the twentieth century. I have not attempted to comprehensively cover works of nonfiction or the arts generally but, once more, I have made— and this time, a fair number of—exceptions by way of providing a taste of the requisite material. So, apart from the constraints of most of my other bibliographies: books, in English, these particular constraints are intended to keep the bibliography to a fairly modest length (around one hundred pages). This compilation is far from exhaustive, although it endeavors to be representative of the available literature, whatever the influence of my idiosyncratic beliefs and 1 preferences. I trust the diligent researcher will find titles on particular topics or subject areas by browsing carefully through the list. I welcome notice of titles by way of remedying any deficiencies. Finally, I have a separate bibliography on slavery, although its scope is well beyond U.S. history. * Or, if you prefer, “self-fulfillment and human flourishing (eudaimonia).” I’m not here interested in the question of philosophical and psychological differences between these concepts (i.e., self- realization and eudaimonia) and the existing and possible conceptions thereof, but more simply and broadly in their indispensable significance in reference to human nature and the pivotal metaphysical and moral purposes they serve in our critical and evaluative exercises (e.g., and after Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum, in employing criteria derived from the notion of ‘human capabilities and functionings’) as part of our individual and collective historical quest for “the Good.” However, I might note that all of these concepts assume a capacity for self- determination.

E263.N5M85 973.3'3'09747 76-43103 ©Copyright 1976 Bureau of Geology and Topography, Department of Environ- mental Protection. All rights reserved. ". When Howe victorious our weak armies chased, And, sure of conquest, laid Cesarea waste, . " Philip Freneau, An Address The original "Battles and Skirmishes" map was researched and drawn in 1945 by John D. Alden, then Historian of the New Jersey Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. In 1965 D. Stanton Hammond made additions and revisions for the society. It was Hammond who brought the map to the attention of the Bureau of Geology and Topography and the Bureau of Archives and History with the suggestion that it be produced for the Bicen- tennial. The Bureau of Archives and History provided the research, using Alden's original files as a starting point. The Bureau of Geol- ogy and Topography provided the draftsman and the technical car- topographic assistance. The intention of the map is to suggest the approximate sites of the various battles and skirmishes that occurred during the Revo- lutionary War rather than to pinpoint the exact locations. Along the same lines, this pamphlet will provide only brief descriptions of the actions, adding bibliographic references for more detailed information. The actual number of violent events that occurred in New Jersey during the Revolutionary War years can never be determined.

  • The North Carolina Historical Review
    The North Carolina Historical Review Volume XXII July, 1945 Dumber 3 WHITE UNTO HARVEST 1 By Hubeet McNeill Poteat We may be very sure that there are in North Carolina many solid, substantial citizens who when they note in their newspapers the announcement of the annual meeting of the State Literary and Historical Association will be moved to satirical reflection and utterance. They will remark with fine scorn that the highbrows are at it again, that the professors have escaped from their cages, that the lobby of the Sir Walter is sizzling with four- dollar words, that Fayetteville Street is no place for ordinary folks, that there's an exhibit of bald domes in Raleigh, that Wake County air seems unusually stuffy, that such a gathering entails a scandalous waste of time and money, and so forth and so forth and so forth. The wretched professor, indeed, has long been a particular and favorite target of editors, cartoonists, and wags. He is habitually presented as a sort of vague and ineffectual booby, wandering abstractedly about, with glasses perched pre- cariously on the end of his nose and a mortarboard teetering on his head ; or as an absent-minded and wholly unrealistic imbecile, utterly unconcerned with actual life; or as a sort of wretched mole, burrowing about in his musty books and never coming up into the light of day. His title, too, is often an object of mirth—only partly because it has been borrowed by astrologers, ventriloquists, and performers upon the xylophone. Whether we like to do so or not, we may as well admit frankly that this sarcasm, directed at us as an Association or as indi- vidual professors and devotees of culture, is not without founda- tion.
