"Neither The Hue Of Their Complexion Nor The Blood Of Afrik Have Any Connection With Cowardice:" The Impact Of British Slave Emancipation In The American Revolution, Murphy Macduffey Wood May 2010

"Neither The Hue Of Their Complexion Nor The Blood Of Afrik Have Any Connection With Cowardice:" The Impact Of British Slave Emancipation In The American Revolution, Murphy Macduffey Wood

Masters Theses, 2010-2019

The American Revolution teaches many important lessons concerning the struggle for freedom and independence. The voluminous record amassed by historians on the subject focuses on every aspect of the war from the Enlightenment’s influence on the writings of men like Thomas Jefferson down to the type of buttons worn on the uniforms of the combatants. The scant attention given to the role of slaves during and after the conflict belies the critical role these men and women played in shaping its outcome. Moreover, a closer evaluation of the strong desire to be free present in the slaves, and how they …


The Figure Of The Nun And The Gothic Construction Of Femininity In Matthew Lewis’S The Monk, Ann Radcliffe’S The Italian, And Charlotte Brontë’S Villette, Marie Hause May 2010

The Figure Of The Nun And The Gothic Construction Of Femininity In Matthew Lewis’S The Monk, Ann Radcliffe’S The Italian, And Charlotte Brontë’S Villette, Marie Hause

The treatment of nuns and convents in gothic novels contributes to the presentation of various attitudes toward women who resist normative female roles. This is illustrated in the consideration of three central, and very different, gothic or post-gothic works: Matthew Lewis's The Monk (1796), Ann Radcliffe's The Italian (1796), and Charlotte Brontë's Villette (1853). These novels draw on conflicting popular associations of nuns and convents, including nuns as chaste, sexual, or tragic and convents as brothels, prisons, or liberating communities. In each novel, anti-Catholicism also comes into play in the way that nuns work as foci for explorations of female …

The adults selected for interview were members of the orchestra. The responses were uniform: love of playing one’s instrument, desire for musical challenge, inspiration for practice and commitment to the …

Portfolio Of Mine Action Projects 2010, Unmas

Global CWD Repository

Since the anti-personnel mine-ban treaty was adopted in September 1997, mine action has helped an ever-increasing number of civilians reclaim their lives and restore their livelihoods. The treaty has helped mobilize the international community’s response to landmines and their impact on people. It is a testament to what can be achieved when we collectively take on a grave humanitarian and development challenge.

The United Nations pledges to assist mine-affected countries in meeting their obligations under the anti-personnel mine-ban treaty and other international norms related to mine action. The United Nations continues to clear areas known or believed to be contaminated …
