Impossible Witnesses

Truth, Abolitionism, and Slave Testimony

By: Dwight McBride

Even the most cursory review of black literary production during the nineteenth century indicates that its primary concerns were the issues of slavery, racial subjugation, abolitionist politics and liberation. How did the writers of these narratives "bear witness" to the experiences they describe? At a time when a hegemonic discourse on these subjects already existed, what did it mean to "tell the truth" about slavery? Impossible Witnesses explores these questions through a study of fiction, poetry, essays, and slave narratives from the abolitionist era. Linking the racialized discourses of slavery and Romanticism, it boldly calls for a reconfiguration of U.S. and British Romanticism that places slavery at its center. Impossible Witnesses addresses some of the major literary figures and representations of slavery in light of discourses on natural rights and law, offers an account of Foucauldian discourse analysis as it applies to the problem of "bearing witness," and analyzes specific narratives such as "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass," and "The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano." A work of great depth and originality, Impossible Witnesses renders traditional interpretations of Romanticism impossible and places Dwight A. McBride at the forefront of studies in race and literature.

As the Cannon Roar

By: Dwight Murray

A glimpse inside the pages of As the Cannon Roar: Hundreds upon hundreds of stories have been written about the American Civil War. Although set in the Antebellum era of the “Old South” this story is not one of them. This is an in depth study of a family’s struggle to hold onto the only home and the only family they have ever known as the war rages all around them. It is a gritty but true to life story. It is both heartwarming and heartbreaking. It is full of despicable men doing despicable things. It is a story of love. It is a story of a marriage that is - in that time - frowned upon. Yet in order to tell this heart-rending story of war and love, and as a way to introduce the dreadfully wounded Confederate Artillery Captain, Thaddeus Biggs and his love of a country girl, one battle, that known as “Malvern Hill,” is used as a backdrop. Lillie Beth is the daughter of a poor dirt farmer, Tink Strickland. Tink is an evil man and void of all humanity. His jealousy of the successes of his neighbors tears at him and he will stop at no depravity in his efforts to obtain similar wealth. Therefore, his family suffers greatly at his hands. Wounded and near death, a handsome, young Confederate Artillery officer is brought to Lillie’s father’s log cabin which has recently been appropriated as a field hospital. There she soothes the man’s heated brow with a wet cloth and cool well water and appoints herself as his nurse. Little does Lillie know the wounded man suffering on the tick-mattress upon the floor is from the wealthiest family in all of North Carolina. But knowing only poverty, such wealth has no meaning to her. Her life changes drastically when Captain Thaddeus Biggs’ father arrives to take his son home. The Biggs family has nearly disintegrated upon learning their beloved son and brother has been wounded in battle, while the Strickland family near the battle of Malvern Hill dissolves so completely it will never recover.

2020s Foresight

Three Vital Practices for Thriving in a Decade of Accelerating Change

By: Tom Sine,Dwight J. Friesen

In 2020s Foresight, authors Tom Sine and Dwight Friesen seek to "wake up" Christian leaders and those whom they serve to the realities that leaders in other fields must deal with all the time. We are no longer simply living in changing times. We live in the reality that we are racing into a new world of accelerating change. The authors want to enable leaders in churches and Christian organizations to learn how to lead in this time of acceleration. They focus on three vital practices: foresight (analyzing the accelerating changes and anticipating new opportunities and strategies for addressing change); reflection (discerning biblical purposes for times like these); and creating innovative ways to engage new challenges so as to advance God's purposes in our lives, congregations, and organizations in the 2020s. The book is intended to equip Christian leaders to anticipate some of the new challenges in the 2020s; discover God's shalom purposes for our lives, the church, and God's world; and create innovative new possibilities for our lives, communities, and congregations that both engage new opportunities and advance God's purposes.

Law Enforcement Responder

Principles of Emergency Medicine, Rescue, and Force Protection

By: Randy G. Stair,Dwight A. Polk,Geoff Shapiro,Nelson Tang

Public safety professionals and emergency responders today face greater threats than ever before in our history. The traditional role of law enforcement has vastly expanded to require extraordinarily broad-based emergency response capabilities. Law Enforcement Responder: Principles of Emergency Medicine, Rescue, and Force Protection prepares homeland security leaders, law enforcement officers, security professionals, and public safety officials for the wide range of emergency responses they must perform on a daily basis. The textbook addresses all of the competency statements in the National EMS Education Standards at the Emergency Medical Responder level, as well as additional lifesaving content specific to law enforcement that far exceeds the core curriculum. Important Notice: The digital edition of this book is missing some of the images or content found in the physical edition.

What the Slaves Ate

Recollections of African American Foods and Foodways from the Slave Narratives

By: Herbert C. Covey,Dwight Eisnach

Carefully documenting African American slave foods, this book reveals that slaves actively developed their own foodways-their customs involving family and food. The authors connect African foods and food preparation to the development during slavery of Southern cuisines having African influences, including Cajun, Creole, and what later became known as soul food, drawing on the recollections of ex-slaves recorded by Works Progress Administration interviewers. Valuable for its fascinating look into the very core of slave life, this book makes a unique contribution to our knowledge of slave culture and of the complex power relations encoded in both owners' manipulation of food as a method of slave control and slaves' efforts to evade and undermine that control. While a number of scholars have discussed slaves and their foods, slave foodways remains a relatively unexplored topic. The authors' findings also augment existing knowledge about slave nutrition while documenting new information about slave diets.
