Beloved!!! imagine being purchased as a young girl specifically for sex. This Celia had no say in how here body was ravaged by her owner. No one came to her rescue and when she finally got enough she killed him. Many believed her boyfriend assisted her but when questioned he ran away and left her to take the fall on her own. She was found guilty and sentenced to death because of course women do not have access to their now bodes. This story is important because it shows how slaves experienced trauma and when they rebelled to their mistreatment, they are punished by death.
The ninth winner of The Yale Drama Series. This is required reading for American History Classes in some colleges.Celia was fourteen years old when John Newsom, an aging widower purchased her, she was raped on the way to the plantation. This book had loads of true facts about the crimes, inquisition, trials, the verdict, and the execution.Throughout the book were political events that took place in Missouri and Kansas, how they became states, the politics and their laws. At times it was difficult for me to stay focused, I was more interested in the lives of the people than the politics. In the end it's all about the slave owners, the laws and their slaves. It reads like a history book. This is one story that will stay with me a long time.
Excellent book on a rare case of an enslaved African woman brought to trial for the murder of her master who started to sexually abuse her on the way home from the auction. She was only fourteen. The specifics of the trial are placed in a historical context: 1850's. This non-fiction is a tragic story that accentuates the double jeopardy of enslaved African females at the time.
This riveting and slim book tells what it can of the story of Celia, a slave whose tragedy played out in rural Missouri in the 19th century. As he gives us Celia's story, McLaurin clearly explains the history of slavery in Missouri and how it intertwined with the national politics of slavery. Reading the book for that alone is well worth it. A Missouri farmer buys Celia from an owner whose name is still unknown. The evil of Celia's new bondage is cruelly and fatefully enforced, even as she and her new master travel back to his farm. What happens to her from then on is a reflection of all the evils of slavery. And the fact that there is so much about Celia's life and her identity that cannot be recovered is one of those very evils.Not to be missed!
Can you imagine being executed by hanging for murdering a person who had been raping you for years? This is the story of Celia, A Slave by Melton Alonza McLaurin. At 14 years old, this young slave-girl was shipped out to work on a farm in Missouri, and like a lot of slaves at the time, she was continuously abused and raped. She accepted this life because of her distorted perception of herself and the world around her until the day she fell in love with a young man named George. Her lover was not keen on the fact that she was ‘having an affair’ with her owner. In hopes of pleasing her lover, Celia attempted to refuse the advances of her master, and one night she hit him over the head with a stick and killed him. She disposed of the body in her fireplace, only to be caught and even betrayed by George during the investigation of the crime. At 19 years old, Celia was held at trial for the murder of her owner and eventually hung for the crime.The book communicated a story of injustice, a story of a distorted self-concept of a young woman who was subjected to suffering and dehumanization. If Celia compared herself socially, she was at the bottom, and she was only a slave without any rights. She was expected to be obedient and remain quiet even though she may have been suffering deeply inside.Not only did society and her master label her as nothing more than a slave, her own lover labeled her a cheater, further feeding her self-concept negatively. Even though Celia was a victim, she saw herself as the criminal, and in her own defense she stated, “the Devil got into meâ€. She could not even say that she was being accused unjustly or that she was a victim, she could only blame an external force like the devil to explain her crime. Neither Celia nor those around her viewed her as a human being that had the right to self-defense.We can also see in the story how the development of the interpersonal relationship between her and her lover influenced her actions. Even though she despised her owner and the rapes that occurred, she never fought back. It wasn’t until her relationship George developed into a romantic one. In this relationship, Celia fell in love and trusted George. She most likely felt morally obligated to tell George what was taking place and began disclosing everything to him, including what her master was doing to her. This disclosure came at a high risk and because of this and her love for George, she listened when he demanded she no longer partakes in that ‘relationship’ which is what led to the events of the night the murder took place.As each event unfolds in the biography of Celia’s life, the author successfully communicates how societal expectations can influence our self-concept so negatively and deeply that we tend to truly believe it. He also gives a voice to a people that didn’t have one and shows how they were human beings like everyone else. He shows how an interpersonal romantic relationship, trust, and disclosure can heavily influence our actions and ultimately our destiny. In comparison to other books about the history of slaves, I believe this one offers a more personal account as opposed to only timelines and facts. Those who would benefit from this book the most are those who may feel like they have low self-esteem and low self-concept. It may help them identify the sources of which these feelings may be coming from, and this will ultimately help resolve them.
The author does a pretty good job of a case analysis going back and forth (often at dizzying speeds) between the murder case, the political scene at the time (The Missouri Compromise), and the effect this case probably had on society at the time. No doubt, it brought a lot of media attention since the author got most of his material from newspaper accounts. The author tries to be dispassionate but how can you be when covering the story. There are a lot of unknowns in the case that leaves one to thinking what really happened but a smart reader can infer.
I read this for a history class and thought it was a really good and descriptive account of slavery and the justice system. If you're interested in history, then this would be a nice read because it doesn't read like a history book.
This book was actually great and that's coming from someone that doesn't read many books. However, the author kept giving everyone's life story and family tree when mentioned. I thought it would be more about Celia instead of politics. I did learn more about how slaves were treated which was sad and interesting.
