Book Description
Excerpt from An Oration, Delivered in Newburyport, on the Forty-Fifth Anniversary of American Independence, July 4, 1821 What expedient then Shall the established govern ments of Europe employ to arrest the rapid advance ment of liberal principles? Will they put their trust in the blind respect, with which mankind have been ac customed to regard superior birth? They might have done this in the dark ages, when the v'assal was but lit tle raised in estimation above the brute beasts in whose company he tilled the soil; but centuries are since gone by, and the oppressed and the Oppressor have descend ed to the tomb together, where their remains are moul dering and corrupting into the same undistinguishable dust. SO capricious and changeable is fortune that the very names of the haughty lords of other times are pre served only in the fugitive and decaying records of the historian, their race extinct, their titles transferred to the upstart courtier of yesterday, and their palaces be come the banqueting-hall in which the posterity Of their meanest Slave may now be revelling as gaily and arro gantly as ever they did in the proudest moments of their glory.

History and Memory in African-American Culture

Book Description
As Nathan Huggins once stated, altering American history to account fully for the nation's black voices would change the tone and meaning--the frame and the substance--of the entire story. Rather than a sort of Pilgrim's Progress tale of bold ascent and triumph, American history with the black parts told in full would be transmuted into an existential tragedy, closer, Huggins said, to Sartre's No Exit than to the vision of life in Bunyan. The relation between memory and history has received increasing attention both from historians and from literary critics. In this volume, a group of leading scholars has come together to examine the role of historical consciousness and imagination in African-American culture. The result is a complex picture of the dynamic ways in which African-American historical identity constantly invents and transmits itself in literature, art, oral documents, and performances. Each of the scholars represented has chosen a different "site of memory"--from a variety of historical and geographical points, and from different ideological, theoretical, and artistic perspectives. Yet the book is unified by a common concern with the construction of an emerging African-American cultural memory. The renowned group of contributors, including Hazel Carby, Werner Sollors, Vèvè Clark, Catherine Clinton, and Nellie McKay, among others, consists of participants of the five-year series of conferences at the DuBois Institute at Harvard University, from which this collection originated. Conducted under the leadership of Geneviève Fabre, Melvin Dixon, and the late Nathan Huggins, the conferences--and as a result, this book--represent something of a cultural moment themselves, and scholars and students of American and African-American literature and history will be richer as a result.
