Download Uncle Tom or New Negro?: African Americans Reflect on Booker T. Washington and 'Up from Slavery' 100 Years Later AudioBook Free
Within the 90th wedding anniversary of Booker T. Washington's death comes a passionate, provocative dialogue on his complicated legacy, like the complete wording of his basic autobiography, Up from Slavery. Booker T. Washington was born a slave in 1858, yet approximately forty years later he previously proven the Tuskegee Institute. Befriended by way of a U.S. chief executive and commercial titans, favorite and reviled by the dark-colored community, Washington was one of the very most important voices on the postslavery world. But Washington's meaning of gradual accommodation was accepted by some and turned down by others, and, almost a hundred years after his death, he is still one of the very most controversial and misunderstood characters in American background. Uncle Tom or New Negro? will much more than provide another critical edition of Washington's memoirs. Instead, Carroll has interviewed an outstanding array of African American luminaries including Julianne Malveaux, cultural critics Debra Dickerson and John McWhorter, and Pulitzer Award–receiving journalist and radio talk-show coordinator Karen Hunter, among others. In a stunning collection bursting with invigorating and differing perspectives, (e.g. What would Booker T. think of Sean Combs or Russell Simmons? Was Washington a "tragic buffoon" or "a giver of desire to those on the margins of the margins"?) this cutting-edge reserve allows you to attain your own conclusions about a controversial and perhaps ultimately enigmatic body.
