Review of Howard Jones’ “Mutiny on the Amistad”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page review of Howard Jones’ “Mutiny on the Amistad”. Howard Jones’ 1987 book “Mutiny on the Amistad: The Saga of a Slave Revolt and its Impact on American Abolition, Law, and Diplomacy” tells of a true story which took place in 1839 and enhanced the cause of the abolitionists in the United States. The tale is about a group of Africans who were kidnapped for the slave trade, turn on their captors and take control of the ship Amistad. The captors, led by the 26 year old Joseph Cinque, hoped to return to their native Africa but instead ended up in New York harbour eventually begin arrested. Their case ended up in the Supreme Court which ruled in favour of the Africans who were allowed to return to their home country. The story turns from one of the dramatic events of the mutiny into the equally if not more dramatic events of the political system, the abolitionist movement and the international controversy which ensues.

Richard Wright's "Native Son" - No Man's Land
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Richard Wright's Native Son establishes the fact that the black community has long been a constant victim of dehumanizing racism. Even though contemporary populations may not be held within the grips of slavery as their ancestors were for centuries, blacks still endure a type of social slavery by being forced to abide by white rule. Looking at and living with white America through the jaded eyes of Bigger Thomas is a direct indication of just how much the concept of No Man's Land perpetuates racial intolerance.

Robert Pratt’s We Shall Not Be Moved
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page paper provides an overview of the central principles of Robert Pratt’s We Shall Not Be Moved. Robert Pratt’s We Shall Not Be Moved demonstrates the way in which these struggles are manifested. The efforts of the NAACP, Horace Ward, Charlayne Hunter and Hamilton Hughes in the desegregation of the University of Georgia provides an interesting example of the way in which the path of an organization can be changed by the actions of a few. Pratt’s book, though, not only gives a way of looking at change, but also outlines the basis for the mechanism of control, the white supremacy, that was prevalent during this era.
