Modern Medea: A Family Story of Slavery and Child-Murder
from the Old South. by Steven Weisenburger Review by:Peter W. Bardaglio
The Journal of American History, Vol. 86, No. 3, The Nation and Beyond:
Transnational Perspectives on United States History: A Special Issue (Dec.,
1999), pp. 1341-1342
- In this article the author
tells of the Maragret Garner case of Cinncinati Ohio. Tjey convey what details
are known about the case. Sometimes throught the article the author speculates
at the causation behind the instance of infantcide that took place in January
of 1856.
- The last portion of this
book describes the role reversal of genders after the Civil War. What we
found was especially pertinent to Beloved was the gender reversal between the
North and the South. Barney notes that while the South has stereotypically
been viewed as hardworking, burly men that this changed as the South became
more romanticized
- This source
discusses the impact blacks had on the economy and recovery of the country in
1860-1880, after the Civil War. We will use this source when we discuss
men occupations.
- The main information taken
from this article was about the expectations of women in the 19th century and
the ideas around pregnancy at the time. Women were expected to continue
their household work throughout their entire pregnancy but to also stay out of
sight of the public. This handbook was very helpful for information about
gender roles, but it did not specify the differences of race.
- This article
explains that even though the novel Beloved is a story on the slavery and
escape on the main character, the main purpose of the story is about motherhood
and the care of her children. It explains the experience a mother
had while living with the fact that she killed her daughter for what she
thought was right.
- This is a
portrait of a woman in domestic work in the 1900s. The photograph was based in
Richmond, Virginia and will be used to help visualize the work force for women.
- Women were
looked down as worthless. They were seen as the peasants, slaves, and piece of
property to trade. They had to work and rely on each other to try to build
their rights and self-respect up. Together women helped each other develop and
keep their sanity without the help of men.
- In this review the author
tells of and speculates on the a conversation she had with the author Toni
Morrison. In this conversation they discuss the
literature written by Toni Morrison such as Beloved.
- I choose this photo for the Gender Roles tab because
it shows Rosa Parks sitting in front of a white man on the bus which in
that time was not the right thing to do and it really shows how gender and race
plays into society.
Griffith, Ezra
H. "Personal Narrative and an African-American Perspective on Medical
Ethics." (Article, 2005) [University of Kentucky Libraries]. The Journal
of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law, 2005. Web. 11 Oct. 2014.
- This article
goes into the fine detail of the moral foundations of medical
professionals. The author explains the perspectives of medical
ethics that black physicians have. He uses this to argue forensic
psychiatry ethics.
- Because of the
hands on learning style for doctors, they wanted bodies to practice on. Slave
bodies were an options, as well as dead slaves or immigrants. Slave owners sold
dead workers to doctors to practice on. Stories of the “night doctors” became a
tale told among the community as bodies were being old and bought at night.
- This is a good
source for our website because it gives many examples of black women in the
work force and the opportunities that were available for them. It also
talks about the pay that the women had in the 1900s.
- This book
contains information on the work that black women did after they were freed.
We plan to specifically focus on chapter 2 and 3 entitled, “Enslaved
Women Becoming Freed Women” and “Bent Backs and Laboring Muscles”. This
source will be helpful when we discuss the jobs women did after they were freed.
- Statistics
about African American in the workforce will be helpful in giving credible
information to the reader. It will aid the reader in buying into the
topic and gaining a bigger understanding of the topic as a whole.
- Towards the
middle of this google book it begins to discuss a woman’s typical role in
society and how they changed over the span of 100 or so years. This will be
beneficial in describing our section over women’s job opportunities.
- I found two
facts that give a good description on what the jobs of men and women were
specifically in a family. We can use this source to make a comparison
between black men and women. This will give a contrast to the rest of our
work because we generally found information on how these two differed.
- This case study/ blog looks into and describes through a
time line the reasons infantcide might have developed in London in the year
1856 through the nineteenth century.
"Map of
Cincinnati." Some Cincinnati-Area Resources. WordPress, n.d.
Web. 13 Oct. 2014.
- I like this
map because it gives an accurate portrayal of how 1860 Cincinnati looked.
This image will be very helpful of our website to give out audience an
idea of the area that we are focusing on.
- Like the map
of Cincinatti, this image is accurate in showing the area in and
around Louisville. Louisville is part of the Golden Triangle and
we thought it was an important part to show.
- In this article the author
tells of the Maragret Garner case of Cinncinati Ohio. Tjey convey what details
are known about the case. Sometimes throught the article the author speculates
at the causation behind the instance of infantcide that took place in January
of 1856.
Morrison,
Toni. Beloved. New York: Penguin Group, n.d. Print.
- This book is
vital to our paper because we need to use information
out of it to compare with the other
research we did. We think that this
source will be the source we use most
often because it is the main topic of the project.
- Dr. Simms
discovered how to successfully repair vesicovaginal fistulus by performing
multiple surgeries on female African American slaves during the 19th century.
His mistreatment of slaves represents a period of time where this was a common
occurrence among doctors. However as Dr. Simms was glorified during his time,
no one acknowledged this mistreatment until now.
- This article
discusses the different types of caring and how it is applied to nursing in a
medical field and how African Americans were not given this
care. This presents the problem of nursing ethics and how it affects
African Americans as patients.
- Back in the 19th century
slaves practiced their own formed of medicine with herbs. They had their own
remedies to heal their community. Such remedies have been used to advance more
modern medicines.
- This image is
a map of the city of Cincinnati, Ohio. It will be used to show the
geography of the city and will help the view understand the area of which the
book Beloved takes place.
- We chose to
use information from this book because it pertains to our overall thesis.
We plan to look into the occupations black men, women and children had
and this source shows that they had jobs at the Post Office. We are going to
use this source as an example of an occupation for black men.
- This
source gives lots of information on child labor in the 1900s, while describing
the amounts of hours, days and wages the children would work. This will
be helpful in portraying the opportunities for children to work.
"Slaves,
Ex-Slaves, and Children of Slaves in the American South 1860." Black
History on Pintrest. N.p., n.d. Web. 13 Oct. 2014.
- We found this
picture very interesting because it shows a black woman, looking to be
pregnant, working in a field. We plan to add this picture in by our
summary of the book Beloved because we can discuss the work some enslaved women
did.
- Harper was a
man that was one of two black men accepted to practice law in Louisville, KY.
This will be a credible example to use as we describe the opportunities black
men had in certain jobs and in the Golden Triangle.
- Women were the
main target by doctor to learn anatomy and physiology. They were given no
rights or say. Their bodies were seen as animal, as if available for the
taking. Women were seen as a “different species”.
- While Dr.
Simms made a medical breakthrough in gynecology, his methods of practice
disturb many medical ethics. His contribution to surgical innovations is being
debated to be a honorable advancement or moral set back. Regardless of te
dispute, its needless to say that without Dr. Simm’s quetoinable research, we
would not as advanced in the gynecology field as we are now.
- This journal
discusses eleven characters of different books and relates their emotions to
social justice. Stanford chooses these women because of their
abuse and hardships they struggled in their stories. Stanford takes
the emotions of the characters and makes connections between social conditions
and bioethics.
- Anne Stiles is able to
give a descriptive idea of what life was like for a mentally ill man in the
time of Beloved. From this article we were able to see that men were
encouraged to engage in heavy manual labor to cure their anxiety
problems. This related to the novel’s portrayal of men’s hidden anxiety
as shown in Paul D.
"Surgical
Set By Louis V. Helmold, C.1886." Helmold Surgical Set C. 1880's. N.p., n.d. Web. 27
Oct. 2014. http://www.medicalantiques.com/civilwar/Surgery_Sets/Helmold_surgical_set_c.1886.htm
- This is an
image of black men who worked on a railroad. This photo is a prime example of
men in the working class in the 1900s and the types of jobs they had.
- In this article it shows
the harsh treatment that the few who sought outside treatment faced.
Patients would receive unethical and in many times more harmful treatment from
unqualified individuals. Using knowledge from the book along with the
realities presented in the article, it confirms why none of the characters in
Beloved would seek treatment.
The Virtues in
Medical Practice." Edmund D. Pellegrino,. Oxford University
Press,1993. Web. 07 Oct. 2014.
- During the 19th century
the virtues of medicine were disgraced. Doctors strived to rebuild their virtue
with trust, compassion, and prudence that has been torn down by past rogue
doctors.
- This book was a great
accompaniment to the novel due to its very realistic depiction of
mother-daughter roles in the 19th century. The book states that mothers
have to teach their daughters what their role is in life as they grow up, which
often shows the daughters their mother’s dissatisfaction with life.
- In this
article, Amanda Thorton does research on a Jamaican family’s paperwork in order
to find information on their social, political and cultural
life. She studies the medical aspects and identifies the diseases
and illnesses that were caught while on the plantation.
- This source is
very interesting to us. It does not give any
information on jobs of the black
men and women but it does give a brief look
behind the
word Beloved. I think we can use this while talking about the book.
- There is a
question upon ethics for Dr. Simms research methods. During his time, what he
was doing wasn’t considered wrong, but now with conflicting morals and ethics
of this time it is seen as injustice. He did what was allowed fairly, on his
own slaves. Not that this makes what he did right, but it brings up flaws in
debates against this in the medical world.
- This is a news article that tells how Jessica Price, an
employee at Khols in Louisville Kentucky, killed her newborn infant daughter
who she had apprantly given birth to in the bathroom at her place of work. The
infant was found in a dumpster outside the Kohls and was linked to Price
through DNA and Video Survelinance evidence.
- Mad in America was written
as an argument against the modern medical treatment of schizophrenic patients.
While this isn’t directly relevant to our research, there is a fair amount of
information in the book about the treatment of the mentally ill in the late
19th and early 20th century. This book’s reference and comparison shows
the incompetency of psychological treatment of the time of Beloved.
- This case discusses the
ligusitics of what took place in the Maragret Garner case. In Januaray of 1856
this article says that Margret Garner killed her infant daughter. Priscilla,
the infant who was killed was believed to be about six months old at the time.
The majority of the article discusses the Fugitive Slave Act.
