WINNER OF THE BANCROFT PRIZEA New York Times Book Review and Atlantic Monthly Editors' ChoiceThomas Jefferson denied that whites and freed blacks could live together in harmony. His cousin, Richard Randolph, not only disagreed, but made it possible for ninety African Americans to prove Jefferson wrong. Israel on the Appomattox tells the story of these liberated blacks and the community they formed, called Israel Hill, in Prince Edward County, Virginia. There, ex-slaves established farms, navigated the Appomattox River, and became entrepreneurs. Free blacks and whites did business with one another, sued each other, worked side by side for equal wages, joined forces to found a Baptist congregation, moved west together, and occasionally settled down as man and wife. Slavery cast its grim shadow, even over the lives of the free, yet on Israel Hill we discover a moving story of hardship and hope that defies our expectations of the Old South.

The Adventures of Amos 'n' Andy

Forty million Americans indulged in a national obsession in 1930: they eagerly tuned in Amos 'n' Andy, the nightly radio comedy in which a pair of white actors portrayed the adventures of two black men making a new life in the big city. Meanwhile, some angry African Americans demanded that Amos 'n' Andy be banned, even as others gathered in the barbershops and radio stores of Harlem to chuckle over the adventures of Amos, Andy, and the Kingfish. Melvin Patrick Ely unveils a fascinating tale of America's shifting color line, in which two professional directors of blackface minstrel shows manage to produce a serives so rich and complex that it wins admirers ranging from ultra-racists to outspoken racial egalitarians. Eventually, the pair stir further controversy when they bring their show to television. In a preface written especially for this new edition of his acclaimed classic, Ely shows how white and black responses to his Adventures of Amos 'n' Andy since 1991 tell a revealing story of their own about racial hopes and fears at the turn of the twenty-first century.

On the eve of the Civil War, around 60,000 Black men, women and children lived free in the state of Virginia, often alongside enslaved neighbours. This volume is a history documenting the richness and variety of their lives. Although many stayed in Virginia, living, working and thriving despite serious threats to their lives, some moved north or, further still, across the Atlantic to Liberia. In studying the lives of free Black Virginians prior to emancipation, this volume explores an under-told and inspirational story of Virginia’s past. By delving into collections across the Commonwealth, whether the records of the state or testimonies left by free Black people themselves, this new volume fills a critical gap in our understanding of Virginia’s Black history.

Ekonomi handlar i grunden om att hushålla med knappa resurser – en fråga som varit central genom hela det moder- na samhällets historia. Vad som räknats som god ekonomi har däremot skiftat över tid. I Sätt ekonomin på plats utforskar forskare och praktiker lokal ekonomi både som kunskapsfält och som ett växande samhällsfenomen. Boken visar hur lokal ekonomi kan fungera som en drivkraft för hållbar samhällsförändring och belyser de idéer och det handlande som utvecklas i relation till den lokala ekonomin. I bokens texter diskuteras också hur lokalekonomiska perspektiv kan komplettera andra ekonomiska idétraditioner. Sätt ekonomin på plats har sin bakgrund i den nationella konfer- ensen Lokalekonomidagarna, som har arrangerats sedan år 2000. Den är en uppföljare till Lokal ekonomi för en hållbar tillväxt (2005). Ur innehållet Lokalekonomisk analys Den lokala ekonomins smörjmedel Kapitalförsörjning i den lokala ekonomin Allmänningens återkomst i den lokala ekonomin Ideella aktiebolag Lokalekonomi som kunskaps- och forskningsfält Hållbar lokal ekonomi genom kooperativa strukturer Lokal rådighet och lokal ekonomi Lokalekonomiska brytpunkter.
