Administration Work Projects

Beschreibung

In "Dem Days Was Hell - Recorded Testimonies of Former Slaves from 17 U.S. States," the Work Projects Administration presents a poignant anthology of firsthand accounts that illuminate the harrowing realities faced by former slaves in the United States. This seminal work is characterized by its raw authenticity and compelling narrative style, blending oral histories with social commentary. The testimonies, collected during the tumultuous era of the Great Depression, offer insights into the lived experiences of African Americans and serve not only as a historical documentation but also as a platform for the voices that have long been silenced. The WPA's efforts reflect a broader literary trend toward the preservation of folk narratives, allowing readers to engage with a past that deeply informs the present sociopolitical landscape. The Work Projects Administration, a New Deal agency established to alleviate unemployment during the 1930s, embarked on ambitious projects capturing the oral histories of marginalized communities. By assembling these narratives, the WPA aimed to document the harsh realities of American life while employing those in the arts and humanities. The initiative reflects the organization's commitment to social justice and the preservation of cultural heritage, which undoubtedly influenced the curation of this impactful compilation. "Dem Days Was Hell" is highly recommended for scholars, students, and general readers eager to explore the intricate tapestry of American history through the eyes of its most affected individuals. This book not only serves as an indispensable historical record but also as a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit in the face of systemic oppression. Engaging with these narratives will enrich one'Äôs understanding of the complexities of race, identity, and memory in America.

Doing It All - The Social Power...

Ruby Russell

A feminist exploration of single motherhood and a passionate call to reclaim the power of mothering 
 
 
 
In the United States, one child in five is raised by a single mother. Yet the single mom is still cast as victim or welfare queen, sexually irresponsible or too independent for her own (or her children's) good. 
 
 
 
In Doing It All, journalist and single mother Ruby Russell tells a different story, of single mothering not defined by loss by whole and powerful in its own right. She finds narratives of liberation in Victorian brothels and postwar British slums, in Black feminist theory and the grassroots activism of women fighting for welfare rights. 
 
 
 
Doing It All is a personal quest for empowerment, a fierce critique of the systems that leave single moms marginalized and exhausted, and a call to reclaim mothering as the life force of sustainable, connected, and radically responsible communities.
