Sinossi
Il Dr. Arthur Vaughn condivide la storia del viaggio della sua famiglia dalla schiavitù fino alla Grande Migrazione, il periodo in cui 6 milioni di persone precedentemente schiavizzate viaggiarono a nord dal sud dell'era Antebellum. Condivide storie che sua nonna Rosa Mae Woodall gli ha raccontato nel corso della sua vita attraverso conversazioni e lettere. Utilizzando documenti storici e ricerche dettagliate, offre una storia avvincente della sua famiglia materna attraverso la prospettiva delle donne che l"hanno vissuta.
La storia inizia con la sua prima antenata conosciuta, Katy Dawkins, nata nel 1801 in Virginia e successivamente venduta a uno schiavista del sud nella Carolina del Sud. Successivamente, la nonna Rosa Mae Woodall ci mostra com'era la vita per una donna che si prendeva cura dei suoi fratelli quando sua madre morì, ha vissuto la Grande Depressione e ha gestito la propria attività negli anni '50. Con grande dettaglio storico, Vaughn scopre le dure realtà vissute dalle donne durante la vita delle piantagioni, nonché le realtà di Jim Crow e del Nord segregato dopo la guerra civile.
Il Dr. Vaughn fa un lavoro meraviglioso descrivendo accuratamente i pensieri e le emozioni provati durante questo viaggio familiare di oltre 100 anni che ha gettato le basi per le generazioni a venire. Through Her Eyes riprende il contesto storico su cui abbiamo sfiorato a scuola e le case sulle lotte interne e le conquiste personali di persone reali che hanno vissuto tempi di schiavitù e anteguerra. La passione e l'attenzione ai dettagli di Vaughn rendono questa lettura obbligata per chiunque sia interessato a visitare un momento fondamentale della nostra storia.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Dr. Arthur Vaughn shares the story of his family's journey from enslavement all the way through the Great Migration-the period when 6 million formerly-enslaved people journeyed North from the Antebellum-era South. He shares stories his grandmother Rosa Mae Woodall told him over the course of her life though conversation and letters. Using historical records and detailed research, he offers a compelling tale of his maternal family through the perspective of the women who lived it.The story begins with his earliest known ancestor, Katy Dawkins, who was born in 1802 in Virginia and later sold to a southern enslaver in South Carolina. Next, Grandma Rosa Mae Woodall shows us what life was like for a woman who looked after her siblings when her mother passed, lived through the Great Depression, and ran her own business in the 1950's. In great historical detail, Vaughn uncovers the harsh realities women experienced during plantation life as well as the realities of Jim Crow and the segregated North after the Civil War.Dr. Vaughn does a marvelous job accurately portraying the thoughts and emotions felt throughout this over 100-year family journey that set the foundation for generations to come. Through Her Eyes takes the historical context we skimmed over in school and homes in on the internal struggles and personal achievements of real people who lived through slavery and antebellum times. Vaughn's passion and attention to detail make this a must read for anyone interested in visiting a foundational time in our history. This item is printed on demand.
