Crafting Lives
Author: Catherine W. BishirPublisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469608766

Pages : 393
Book Description
From the colonial period onward, black artisans in southern cities--thousands of free and enslaved carpenters, coopers, dressmakers, blacksmiths, saddlers, shoemakers, bricklayers, shipwrights, cabinetmakers, tailors, and others--played vital roles in their communities. Yet only a very few black craftspeople have gained popular and scholarly attention. Catherine W. Bishir remedies this oversight by offering an in-depth portrayal of urban African American artisans in the small but important port city of New Bern. In so doing, she highlights the community's often unrecognized importance in the history of nineteenth-century black life. Drawing upon myriad sources, Bishir brings to life men and women who employed their trade skills, sense of purpose, and community relationships to work for liberty and self-sufficiency, to establish and protect their families, and to assume leadership in churches and associations and in New Bern's dynamic political life during and after the Civil War. Focusing on their words and actions, Crafting Lives provides a new understanding of urban southern black artisans' unique place in the larger picture of American artisan identity.

Book Description
A plan, for use in the San Diego schools, is outlined for a voluntary, teacher-centered, inservice training program to take place within the school day. This plan would use the many available teacher education films for inservice education, avoiding the additional inconvenience entailed in the planning and staffing of workshops or inservice programs requiring course attendance. These films would form the basis for all inservice education. Each month, the teachers in each department would select an appropriate film for their students to view in the auditorium, while they (the teachers) would be viewing a recent teacher education film chosen from a list of 66 compiled by the secondary instructional committee. The plan would be entirely voluntary, requiring no tests, term papers, or extra-curricular activities, but also offering no artificial incentives such as salary credits. The pilot project is targeted to begin in January, 1968, with one person in each secondary school in the area having been contacted to aid in explaining and promoting the program. This article appeared in sdta bulletin, volume 48, no. 3, December, 1967, P. 9. (aw)

Troubled Refuge
Author: Chandra ManningPublisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307456374
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
From the author of What This Cruel War Was Over, a vivid portrait of the Union army’s escaped-slave refugee camps and how they shaped the course of emancipation and citizenship in the United States. Chandra Manning casts in a wholly original light what it was like to escape slavery, how emancipation happened, and how citizenship in the United States was transformed. This reshaping of hard structures of power would matter not only for slaves turned citizens, but for all Americans. Integrating a wealth of new findings, this vivid portrait of the Union army’s escaped-slave refugee camps shows how they shaped the course of emancipation and citizenship in the United States. Drawing on records of the Union and Confederate armies, the letters and diaries of soldiers, transcribed testimonies of former slaves, and more, Manning allows us to accompany the black men, women, and children who sought out the Union army in hopes of achieving autonomy for themselves and their communities. It also raised, for the first time, humanitarian questions about refugees in wartime and legal questions about civil and military authority with which we still wrestle, as well as redefined American citizenship, to the benefit, but also to the lasting cost of, African Americans.
