Nat Huggins' "Black Odyssey: The African-American Ordeal In Slavery"
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Huggins asserts that the deforming mirror of truth originated with America's constitutional Framers and the blatant move away from democracy they demonstrated by establishing a "model totalitarian society" (Huggins PG); purposefully omitting the words 'slave' or 'slavery' when composing the Constitution clearly reflected the desire to "sanitize their new creation" (Huggins PG) and dodge "the deforming mirror of truth" (Huggins PG). According to the author, this alleged pledge towards freedom and democracy was nothing more than a veiled perpetuation of subjugation and was "a bad way to start" (Huggins PG).

Nathan Irvin Huggins' "Black Odyssey: The African-American Ordeal In Slavery": How African Euro-American Cultures Contributed To The Creation Of A United States Slave Culture
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Defined as a spiritual wandering or quest, the significance of Nathan Irvin Huggins' title "Black Odyssey" speaks to the notion of struggle amidst pursuit of a life embraced by freedom. Indeed, Huggins' treatment of how African-Americans evolved from the slave trade is indicative of a much more significant challenge than most will ever realize; in essence, the author illustrates the dichotomy of slavery within an otherwise free and democratic society by transporting readers back in time when the color of one's skin was the only determining factor that cast the black community into enslavement.

Nelson Mendela, "an ordinary man."
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) Personal tribal history, and sheer force of will propelled Nelson Mendela into politics; it is unlikely that apartheid would have been abolished with his tenacity, and organizational skills. To say that the right person was in the right place at the right time is not to negate any of Medela's skills, but neither can time and situation be ignored. According to Brink (2000), Mandela himself argues, that "I was not a messiah, but an ordinary man, who had become a leader because of extraordinary circumstances."

Nuclear Colonialism And Environmental Racism
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. In a perfect world, all entities, every race and each person would be represented in the same fair light. However, this is not a perfect world, and people of various races and origins are not given the same fair treatment in virtually every aspect of social, economic, political and racial representation. Historically, the terms "nuclear colonialism" and "environmental racism" have functioned to condemn certain peoples and regions to a cycle of exploitation, an accusation that can be wholly supported by contemporary perpetuation of this ethnic torment. Technological progress has brought significant advancement to mankind in the way of myriad life-altering improvements, however, in order to reap these benefits untold minority populations continue to pay the price with their homelands and their lives. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Olaudah Equiano's "Interesting Narrative And Other Writings": Historical Significance
[ send me this paper ]
2.5 pages in length. As much as the slave narrative of such extraordinary people as Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs became an American staple in the nineteenth century, the precursor to this particular type of literary expression was chartered by Olaudah Equiano, an African who, at age ten, was kidnapped to first serve as a British naval officer's slave and then upon various slave ships. Earning enough to ultimately buy his freedom in 1766, Equiano dedicated the rest of his life to becoming an outspoken and highly respected advocate of England's antislavery movement.

Orientalism in “Wide Sargasso Sea” by Jean Rhys
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing the idea of Orientalism and the novel the “Wide Sargasso Sea”. Jean Rhys’ novel “Wide Sargasso Sea” is a good example of imperialism and colonization from the perspective of someone other than the colonists which makes it a good example of the Orientalist method of literature. As the Orientalists vision can promote the difference between the ‘familiar’, in the case of the novel, England and the ‘strange’, or the Caribbean, Rhys does a good job at distinguishing her main character’s acceptance of the people, culture and landscape in contrast to the English colonists who live there.
Bibliography lists 4 sources.
