  • Nominees and Bios
    Nominees for the Virginia Emancipation Memorial Pre‐Emancipation Period 1. Emanuel Driggus, fl. 1645–1685 Northampton Co. Enslaved man who secured his freedom and that of his family members Derived from DVB entry: http://www.lva.virginia.gov/public/dvb/bio.asp?b=Driggus_Emanuel Emanuel Driggus (fl. 1645–1685), an enslaved man who secured freedom for himself and several members of his family exemplified the possibilities and the limitations that free blacks encountered in seventeenth‐century Virginia. His name appears in the records of Northampton County between 1645 and 1685. He might have been the Emanuel mentioned in 1640 as a runaway. The date and place of his birth are not known, nor are the date and circumstances of his arrival in Virginia. His name, possibly a corruption of a Portuguese surname occasionally spelled Rodriggus or Roddriggues, suggests that he was either from Africa (perhaps Angola) or from one of the Caribbean islands served by Portuguese slave traders. His first name was also sometimes spelled Manuell. Driggus's Iberian name and the aptitude that he displayed maneuvering within the Virginia legal system suggest that he grew up in the ebb and flow of people, goods, and cultures around the Atlantic littoral and that he learned to navigate to his own advantage. 2. James Lafayette, ca. 1748–1830 New Kent County Revolutionary War spy emancipated by the House of Delegates Derived from DVB/ EV entry: http://www.encyclopediavirginia.org/Lafayette_James_ca_1748‐1830 James Lafayette was a spy during the American Revolution (1775–1783). Born a slave about 1748, he was a body servant for his owner, William Armistead, of New Kent County, in the spring of 1781.

Emerson: War Powers Legislation War Powers Legislation J. TERRY EMERSON* I. INTRODUCTION The Ninety-Second Congress has been marked by the unusual drama of a vigorous and persistent effort by the Legislative Branch to confront the President, eyeball to eyeball, over the primary issues of war and peace. Nowhere has the contest been joined in a more fundamental way, reaching to the very core of the division of powers between the two political branches, than in the bold thrust by several senators to codify the rules governing the circumstances in which the United States may go to and remain in war.' No less than 19 senators have introduced or cosponsored one of five different bills or joint resolutions seeking to define the instances when the President may use or deploy the Armed Forces of the United States.' Taken singly or severally, these measures purport to demark the sole conditions under which the President can initiate military hostilities and to restrict his authority to continue any such hostility beyond a brief period unless and until he has obtained a new and specific authorization from Congress.4 * A.B.

What Hillbilly Elegy Reveals about Race in 21st Century America Lisa R. Pruitt My initial response to the publication of Hillbilly Elegy and the media hubbub that ensued was something akin to pride.1 I was pleased that so many readers were engaged by a tale of my people, a community so alien to the milieu in which I now live and work. Like Vance, I’m from hillbilly stock, albeit the Ozarks rather than Appalachia. Reading the early chapters, I laughed out loud — and sometimes cried — at the antics of Vance’s grandparents, not least because they reminded me of my childhood and extended, working-class family back in Arkansas. Vance’s recollections elicited vivid and poignant memories for me, just as Joe Bageant’s Deer Hunting with Jesus: Dispatches from America’s Class War (2007) and Rick Bragg’s All Over but the Shoutin’ (1997) had in prior decades. I appreciated Vance’s attention not only to place and culture, but to class and some of the cognitive and emotional complications of class migration. I’m a first generation college graduate, too, and elite academic settings and posh law firms have taken some getting used to.

  • Public Records of The
    The Public Records of the STATE OF CONNECTICUT FROM 1821 TO 1822 VOLUME XXI Edited in accordance with an Act of The General Assembly Douglas M. Arnold Editor Shelby Shapiro Bevi Chagnon Associate Editor Production Consultant Hartford 2015 Published by The Connecticut State Library Kendall F. Wiggin Lizette Pelletier State Librarian State Archivist © 2015 Connecticut State Library PREFACE This volume contains a transcription of the positive actions of the General As- sembly of Connecticut during the years 1821 and 1822. The manuscript which forms the core of this volume—and of the entire Public Records series—is the official record of the acts, resolutions, and appointments made by the General Assembly. It is housed at the Connecticut State Library [CSL] in Hartford in Archives Record Group 1. The records of the 1821 session reproduced here can be found on pages 407–561 of Volume 13 of the manuscript; those for 1822 can be found on pages 8–231 of Volume 14. The appendices to each ses- sion reproduce selected supplementary documents culled from the records of the executive department at the CSL and from contemporary newspapers. Time constraints did not permit exhaustive research. The footnotes high- light the major activities of the General Assembly, identify some significant themes and developments, indicate where additional primary source materials can be found in manuscript series at the CSL, and provide information about important public figures. Brief biographies usually appear in footnotes on the first appearance of an individual in a major office and other key figures are occasionally identified when appropriate. Cross-references point to matters discussed elsewhere in this and earlier volumes of the series.

  • “Anarchists Are More Animal Than Human”: Rationality, Savagery, and the Violence of Property
    “Anarchists Are More Animal than Human”: Rationality, Savagery, and the Violence of Property Benjamin Abbott When I first read Chris Hedges’ now infamous denunciation of “Black Bloc anarchists” in the Occupy Wall Street movement, I felt as if I had stepped back in time to the turn of the twentieth century. Hedges’ charges of senseless aggression motivated by primal passions and bent only on universal destruction would fit seamlessly into an 1894 issue of the New York Herald-Tribune or Los Angeles Times. However, as Doreen Massey reminds us, such attempts to assign contemporaries to the past denies how we share space in the world and implies belief in a teleological narrative of progress. Invoking tropes of animality to rhetorically construct political opponents as – to use Chandan Reddy's words – “the enemies of modern political society” remains a key persuasive strategy as well as an enduring technology of capitalism, colonialism, and imperialism here in the twenty-first century. Even a cursory look at language of the war on terror and its production of the Islamic terrorist as national bête noire demonstrates this. Though I would like to simply dismiss Hedges’ anti-anarchist piece as an anomalous echo of discredited reactionary hyperbole, I instead interpret it as representative of a thriving modern phenomenon. The Occupy Wall Street movement has prompted a proliferation and reemphasis of the preexisting discourse of anarchists as the inhuman and unreasonably violent enemies of humanity.1 This essay takes the Hedges article as a point of departure to explore earlier expressions of this discourse specifically through the lens of property.
