Wilkins, Roger Jefferson's Pillow: The Founding Fathers and the Dilemma of Black Patriotism
Boston Beacon Press 2001 0807009563 / 9780807009567 First Edition; First Printing Hardcover Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket
0.8 x 8.4 x 5.7 Inches; 163 pages; "In Jefferson's Pillow, Wilkins returns to America's beginnings and the founding fathers who preached and fought for freedom, even though they owned other human beings and legally denied them their humanity. He asserts that the mythic accounts of the American Revolution have ignored slavery and oversimplified history until the heroes, be they the founders or the slaves in their service, are denied any human complexity. Wilkins offers a thoughtful analysis of this fundamental paradox through his exploration of the lives of George Washington, George Mason, James Madison, and of course Thomas Jefferson. He discusses how class, education, and personality allowed for the institution of slavery, unravels how we as Americans tell different sides of that story, and explores the confounding ability of that narrative to limit who we are and who we can become."
