The Volume 2 is a deconstruction of the work of four writers of the period, the late eighteenth century to the 1830's of the nineteenth century, who all wrote on African enslavement in the West Indies. All four writers adhere to the discourse of white supremacy, with three of them ardent supporters of African enslavement and one an ardent anti-slavery abolitionist. This work places specific emphasis on how all four white supremacists constitute, view and react to threats to white supremacy in the West Indies in the period in which they wrote. This specific emphasis then enables an understanding of the manner the discourse of white supremacy in its West Indian genesis and development constitutes and reacts to threats posed by non-white races. So vitally relevant to understanding the hegemonic 21st discourse of white supremacy which is driving the response of the North Atlantic to the grave threats to its white hegemony it now perceives.
This book is a deconstruction of the discourse of the journals of two white sl;ave owners in the Caribbean, Pierre Dessalles in the French colony of Martinique and William Lewis an absentee owner of two plantations in the British colony of Jamaica resident in the UK. The deconstruction focuses on the power relations between the white hegemonic elite and the enslaved non-whites, Africans and Mulattoes. The study reveals the expanse of power exercised by white hegemonic males especially over the enslaved, the resistance formulated and unleashed by the enslaved on a continuing basis and its impact upon the power of massa. What is ultimately reveal;ed is the white supremacist worldview which drives the white response to enslaved resistance and the singular contribution made by West Indian enslavement to the origin and evolution of white supremacist discourse in the North Atlantic.
There is an adversary in black America, one that has gone unnoticed and unpunished yet has done enormous harm to black civilization. an adversary who has been blamed and still does for the mental, physical, and chemical mutilation of black life: the white man. a hostile force that has undermined black people by committing numerous acts of treason but attributes their behavior to their condition and the activities of the white man. We know who caused the issues in Black America and Black civilization, but it is our people who are carrying the torch to keep our people under oppression and essentially dead as a nation. We need a change in Black America because it is past time for us to be held responsible for our actions. The time has come for us to wake up, band together, and expel every traitor from our midst.

Musaicum Books presents to you this meticulously collection of hundreds of life stories, recorded interviews and incredible vivid testimonies of former slaves from the American southern states, including photos of the people being interviewed and their extraordinary narratives. After the end of Civil War in 1865, more than four million slaves were set free. There were several efforts to record the remembrances of the former slaves. The Federal Writers' Project was one such project by the United States federal government to support writers during the Great Depression by asking them to interview and record the myriad stories and experiences of slavery of former slaves. The resulting collection preserved hundreds of life stories from 17 U.S. states that would otherwise have been lost in din of modernity and America's eagerness to deliberately forget the blot on its recent past.
