![]() ![]() ![]() Seeking to curb young white men’s violence, elites began to shift their workforces away from white indentured servants and toward enslaved peoples of African descent. Armed, they formed a dangerous element in the colony, and in 1676 launched a bloody challenge to the authority of elites, in the form of an uprising called Bacon’s Rebellion. Once freed, former servants found themselves without money, land, or hope. ![]() Within the first half-century of Virginia’s founding, a few white men with political connections owned most of the fertile lands in the eastern part of the colony. Homesick and forced to perform new and arduous forms of work-cutting down trees to clear forests, and then toiling stooped over in tobacco fields-these servants proved to be resentful members of plantation households. Most field workers were young English indentured servants, bound to a master for a stipulated number of years. Seventeenth-century Virginia landowners cobbled together plantation labor forces from an unruly mix of Europeans, Native Americans, and people of African descent. Morgan’s book American Slavery, American Freedom: The Ordeal of Colonial Virginia(1975) seeks to account for two related historical developments: The origins of American slavery, and the fact that many of the leading Founding Fathers–-George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, James Madison, and James Monroe, to name but a few-owned enslaved workers. ![]()

From today’s perspective, the book feels a bit woo-woo, but at the time, it struck the exact right nerve. First, the author, Joseph Murphy, was a popular minister of the Church of Divine Science and second, because his book took root in both science and religion. The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind is one of few exceptions, likely because of two factors. ![]() Much of what came before was booed off the shelf, so to speak. The genre has been around for books since the turn of the 20th century, but it only really became popular in the late 80s to early 90s. Remember when the internet was new, few people were running online businesses, and everything that had to do with it felt kinda sketchy? That’s what self-help must’ve felt like in the 1960s. ![]() ![]() ![]() Men who are probably in their early 20s drink to excess after the death of the patriarch. Sometimes the language gets a little salty, but doesn't go beyond "bitch," "ass," and "bastard." And characters, including Kazi, drink. Sometimes it gets a little gory: ears severed, a finger cut off, a knife through the neck, and soldiers covered in others' blood. Besides the kidnaping, there are raids and brief battles with causalities and injuries. Another couple has a brief tryst against a tree with only moaning mentioned. There's plenty of kissing and groping, with talk of wanting to do more but not having protection. Kazi, a 17-year-old soldier, gets kidnaped with Jase, the leader of a city in the Remnant kingdoms, and sparks fly. Like the other trilogy, this is a fantasy adventure heavy on the romance. ![]() Parents need to know that Dance of Thieves is a spin-off of the Remnant Chronicles set in the same group of kingdoms. ![]() A trader smokes a pipe.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content?

In 2021 it is 25 years ago that Wallace’s magnum opus Infinite Jest (1996) was published.

He hits the reader over the head with his positions and his allegories. He didn’t write sentences as beautifully as Turgenev or Tolstoy. Hard to get through at first reading better the second time around (with a bit of speed reading through parts) when one knows what to expect and has the whole of its importance in hand. This is a book best read in chapters, like a Dickensian serial, with the mindset of a long winter. Primed on literature of the last 50-100 years, the contemporary reader is hard pressed to wade through elaborate detail, occasional plot holes, characters who are too representative to be relatable (female characters receive short shrift) and an ending that leaves the fate of its characters up in the air. Dostoyevsky’s final work, his manifesto, can be a slog. ![]() |
