Abstract:

Slavery has always been condemned across the world; however in the end of the XX century, such canonical concept was rectified based on the extensive examination by American scholars of compilation of narratives of the former slaves collected in 1930s in the United States. At that time, 2,300 former slaves from 17 states were interviewed about their life in the era of slavery. Later, these interviews were placed in open access on the website of the Library of US Congress, reconstructing a contradictory picture of everyday life of African-Americans in the conditions of plantation economy: some

Abstract:

While the last few years have witnessed an upsurge of studies into enslaved motherhood in the antebellum American South, the role of the enslaved father remains largely trapped within a paradigm of enforced absenteeism from an unstable and insecure familial unit. The origins of this lie in the racist assumptions of the infamous “Moynihan Report” of 1965, read backwards into slavery itself. Consequently, the historiographical trajectory of work on enslaved men has drawn out the performative aspects of their masculinity in almost every area of their lives except that of fatherhood. This has prod

Abstract:

Unlike historians, qualitative researchers’ engagement in studies in which archival sources form the core data corpus is less common than the exploration of newly generated data. Following scholars who have argued for secondary analysis of qualitative data, in this article, I illustrate how qualitative researchers might explore archival data methodologically. Examinations of archival records help us think about how research methods change over time and compare approaches to current practice. This article draws on records from the Federal Writers’ Project (FWP), one of the New Deal initiatives

Abstract:

This paper examines the gendered nature of slave resistance in the nineteenth-century United States and illustrates the ways in which both gender and race shaped the institution of slavery. This examination is based on a collection of ex-slave oral interviews which were gathered in the 1930s in the Slave Narrative Collection of the Federal Writer's Project of the Works Progress Administration. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the data reveal that slave women defended their own needs as slaves and challenged the system itself. The analysis broadens the traditional definition of resistan

Abstract:

In 1936, Federal Writers’ Project (FWP) employees began interviewing formerly enslaved men and women, allowing them to speak publicly of their experiences under slavery. Defying racism and the repressions of Jim Crow, ex-slaves discussed intimate details of their lives. Many researchers considered these interviews unreliable, but if viewed through the lens of gender and analyzed using recent scholarship on slavery and sexuality, FWP interviews offer new insights into the lives of enslaved men and women. Using a small number of ex-slave interviews, most of them drawn from Louisiana, this thesis

Abstract:

The second chapter examines slavery’s distorting effects on age. It reveals how racism and slavery operate through age, buttressing a system that distributed maturity, and humanity, according to an invented logic that age discourse helped to naturalize. The chapter explores the vexed status of age under slavery Frederick Douglass’s My Bondage and my Freedom (1855) and Harriet Jacobs’ Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl (1861) as well as Federal Writers’ Project interviews with former slaves who seem to defy the boundaries of human longevity. These narratives acknowledge not merely the corruption of childhood but the exclusion from adulthood as among the most troubling aspects of slavery. Ultimately, they lament slavery’s use of age as a metric of economic value and a tool for dehumanization, and their narratives stage willful refusals to accommodate this logic.
