Everett transports himself to the days of slavery with a handbook written by a Slave Owner. Next to each short statement hand written comments appear though many are illegible. I'm not exactly sure what the intention of this is super short story was but I can't help but think it's a nasty poke at the ongoing racism today. Not much else to say since it's a five minute read at best ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Auszeichnungen
"Percival Everett's The Book of Training by Colonel Hap Thompson of Roanoke, VA, 1843, Annotated From the Library of John C. Calhoun, is poetry within the harsh confines of a mock historical document--a guidebook for the American slave owner. The collection features lists of instructions for buying, training, and punishing, equations for calculating present and future profits, and handwritten annotations affirming the brutal contents. The Book of Training lays bare the mechanics of the peculiar institution of slavery and challenges readers to place themselves in the uncomfortable vantage point of those who have bought and enslaved human beings." -- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
