Document Summary
Poster: no white man may teach an african servant to read: Means of keeping the power amongst the white people. If i ofend you, if i hurt your dignity . If she had never used the word dignity beyond the grasp of his language (72) The present was his, he would arrange the past to suit his (96) July"s realizaion that he"s no longer a servant, and realizing the historical consequences of it. Realizing he can recreate parts of the history, and distance himself from the old oppressive history. But july seemed to be fumbling his part but he wouldn"t, couldn"t, as if there were no term to replace it, none that would express exactly what the relaionship between bam, and him was, for him (111) There is no adequate word to describe the relaionship. They are trying to downplay the fact that they are in a master role that is in line with simon legree and slave ownership.
