Roll, Jordan, Roll

It is proof that the human soul in an oppressed condition will definitely rebel. Sooner or later, small or large scale, soft over the frontal, will inevitably cause resistance.

Roll, Jordan, Roll is one of them, very popular because it directly touches the spirituality of its victims, namely black slaves in America. Many works emerged after being inspired by the atrocities of the slavery era. Various book titles have been published with versions and ways of expressing the writing style according to the reasoning of the authors. Many songs with various genres have been published as an expression of resistance to the deprivation of human rights and humanity.


One of his most popular books is "Roll, Jordan, roll - the world the slaves made by Eugene D. Genovese" -- a Bancroft Prize winner -- challenging conventional views of slaves by explaining the various forms of resistance to dehumanization that developed in slave society. Instead of emphasizing the cruelty and degradation of slavery, historian Eugene Genovese investigates how slaves forced their owners to acknowledge their humanity through culture, music, and religion. Not just passive victims, the slaves in this report actively engage with the cultural paternalism of the slave owners in a way that supports their dignity and aspirations for freedom.

Unveil the Lost History of Early Muslims in America

Muslims have lived in America since before the country bore its name. Thousands of Muslims arrived centuries before the white settlers who claimed this land as their own, but the limitations and discrimination they faced often masked their fundamental role in the country.



Very few records are kept of their heritage and background. In addition, many Muslims may hide their religious beliefs, practicing disguises to avoid discrimination or punishment. Because if caught, slave owners do not hesitate to punish, torture, or force them out of Islam and follow the religion of their master. The instability of life under the slavery system, has made it difficult to maintain their traditions and religion from generation to generation. However, a small group of Muslims on the Georgian coast maintained their faith in the isolated community until the early 20th century.
