Lynching to Belong: Claiming Whiteness through Racial Violence By Cynthia Skove Nevels
2007 | 208 Pages | ISBN: 1585445894 | PDF | 10 MB
Thousands of black men died violently at the hands of mobs in the post-Civil War South. But in Brazos County, Texas, argues Cynthia Nevels, five such deaths in particular point to an emerging social phenomenon of the time: the desire of newly arrived European immigrants to assert their place in society, and the use of racially motivated violence to achieve that end.Driven by economics and the forces of history, the Italian, Irish, and Czech immigrants to this rich agricultural region were faced with the necessity of figuring out where they fit in a culture that had essentially two categories: white and black. In many ways, the newcomers realized, they belonged in neither position.In the end, they found ways to resolve the ambiguity by taking advantage of and sometimes participating directly in the South's most brutal form of racial domination. For each of the immigrant groups caught up in the violence, the deaths of black men helped to establish racial identity and to bestow the all-important privileges of whiteness.This compelling and superbly written study will appeal to students and scholars of social and racial history, both regional and national.

Katerina Kitsi-Mitakou Valerie Kennedy, "Liminal Dickens"
English | ISBN: 1443888907 | 2016 | 230 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Liminal Dickens is a collection of essays which cast new light on some surprisingly neglected areas of Dickenss writings: the rites of passage represented by such transitional moments and ceremonies as births and christenings, weddings and marriages, and death. Although a great deal of attention has been paid to the family in Dickenss works, relatively little has been said about his representations of these moments and ceremonies. Similarly, although there have been discussions of Dickenss religious beliefs, his views on death and dying and his ideas about the afterlife have not been analysed in any great detail. Moreover, this collection, arising from a conference on Dickens held in Thessaloniki in 2012, explores how Dickenss preoccupation with these transitional phases reflects his own liminality and his varying positions regarding some central Victorian concerns, such as religion, social institutions, progress, and modes of writing. The book is composed of four parts: Part One concerns Dickenss tendency to see birth and death as part of a continuum rather than as entirely separate states; Part Two looks at his unconventional responses to adolescence as a transitional period and to the marriage ceremony as an often unsuccessful rite de passage; Part Three analyses his partial divergence from certain widely held Victorian views about progress, evolution, sanitation, and the provisions made for the poor; and Part Four focuses on two of his novels which are seen as transgressing conventional genre boundaries.
