Abstract:
The objective of this paper is to examine the particular oppressive experiences of Blacks who became the beast of burden of the peculiar institution, a system of dehumanization that reduced them to simple objects in the South. In "My Father?s Name", through the study of a black Virginia family and its neighborhood, Lawrence P. Jackson makes a recall of the horror of slavery and Blacks` struggle for freedom in the Postbellum South. ; Indeed, Jackson reconstructs sequences of Edward Jackson and Granville Hundley`s lives, respectively his father`s grandfather and great-grandfather, two black men who experienced slavery and Reconstruction. As the South was a place that combined the materiality, the meaning, and the practice of slavery, it is viewed as a nebulous which made it difficult for African descents to construct their own identity. ; Thus, it was a place combining the location and locale of the physical and cultural alienation of the black folk. This idea is supported by Karl Marx`s historical materialism which sustains that under capitalism the inhumane process of acquiring slaves came to resemble that of acquiring raw materials because Africans were dehumanized and commoditized. In such circumstances of soul-crushing, feelings, and emotions shared by Blacks were essentially related to their slave status. ; Openly, American slavery was a racialized slavery based on the concept of Otherness chiefly originated from the use of the notions of "being white" and "better" to establish differences between human races and to consequently view the white as a superior being. This explains the option of black slaves as a response to white settlers` concern not only to get a robust and resilient workforce within their reach but also to have to manage a population accustomed to a climate similar to the American climate in their imperial expansion.
