Gender, Genre and Slavery: The Other Rowson, Rowson\u27s Others
Get PDFReaders familiar with Susanna Rowson as the author of Charlotte Temple (1791, 1794) do not think of her as an abolitionist. But in 1805 Rowson articulated an anti-slavery position in Universal Geography, a textbook addressed to schoolgirls such as those she herself taught at the Young Ladies Academy in Boston. Condemning those who viewed sugar and slavery as a winning equation that would make them rich, Rowson denounced the “purchase and sale of human beings,” and insisted that anyone “enlightened by reason and religion” would oppose the “horrid trade,” and see it as she did, as “a disgrace to humanity.”1 At other points in the text, she condemned both the slave drivers in the West Indies, who “exercise[d] the most unpardonable barbarity and tyranny” over “unresisting sufferers,” and North American slave owners, whose characters, she argued, registered the obvious negative effects of their immoral practice.

Properties of heavy quark jets produced by e/sup +/e/sup -/ annihilation at 29 GeV
No full textThe Mark II detector in the e/sup +/e/sup -/ storage ring PEP at the Stanford Liner Accelerator Center (SLAC) is used to measure selected properties of hadronic events corresponding to produced bottom or charm quarks. Heavy flavor enrichment is accomplished by tagging events with prompt electrons or muons. Differences between bottom, charm and average jets are observed for momentum, transverse momentum, rapidity and jet mass distributions. A detailed study of the charged multiplicity of b- and c-enriched events finds the mean multiplicity of bottom and charm events to be 16.2 +- 0.5 +- 1.0 and 13.2 +- 0.5 +- 0.9, respectively, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. The corresponding 'non-leading' multiplicities of charged particles accompanying the pair of heavy hadrons are 5.2 +- 0.5 +- 0.9 for bottom, and 8.0 +- 0.5 +- 0.9 for charm. We find from these non-leading multiplicities that bottom and charm hadrons fragment with mean energy fractions of /sub b/ = 0.79/sub -0.05//sup +0.10/ and /sub c/ = 0.60/sub -0.11//sup +0.09/. These results confirm the expected hard fragmentation of heavy quarks and agree with previous measurements based on leptonic inclusive spectra and D* fragmentation. 48 refs., 29 figs
