Gaddy tells the story of America's tumultuous years leading up to the Civil War and of the war itself from the viewpoints of four children of famous abolitionists, including those of Frederick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison. Gaddy crafts a surprisingly contemporary braided coming-of-age narrative, supported by meticulous research and featuring dozens of primary documents. Each of these four young people-two white, two Black-was strongly committed to the anti-slavery cause but felt just as keenly a need to make their own names, away from the often over-protective or disapproving shadows of the famous adults in their lives. This is a true story of how a torch of resistance is passed and how a new generation makes its mark"--Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2684360</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2684360</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gaddy, Kristina R.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2684360164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The True Story of the Young Abolitionists and Their Crusade Against Slavery</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593855522/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well of Souls]]></title><description><![CDATA["An illuminating history of the banjo, revealing its origins at the crossroads of slavery, religion, and music. In an extraordinary story unfolding across two hundred years, Kristina Gaddy uncovers the banjo's key role in Black spirituality, ritual, and rebellion. Through meticulous research in diaries, letters, archives, and art, she traces the banjo's beginnings from the seventeenth century, when enslaved people of African descent created it from gourds or calabashes and wood. Gaddy shows how the enslaved carried this unique instrument as they were transported and sold by slaveowners throughout the Americas, to Suriname, the Caribbean, and the colonies that became U.S. states, including Louisiana, South Carolina, Maryland, and New York. African Americans came together at rituals where the banjo played an essential part. White governments, rightfully afraid that the gatherings could instigate revolt, outlawed them without success. In the mid-nineteenth century, Blackface minstrels appropriated the instrument for their bands, spawning a craze. Eventually the banjo became part of jazz, bluegrass, and country, its deepest history forgotten"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2599431</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2599431</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gaddy, Kristina R.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2599431164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Uncovering the Banjo&apos;s Hidden History</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780393866803/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
