React to the reading in the Foreword of “Slave Songs of the United States”; pages 7-11,
ending with the second paragraph (stop reading when you get to “… boatmen’s songs he
had heard upon the Nile.”). You will find the entire document on the “Modules” page under
“Module 6”.*Note: The page numbers are those at the top, center of the page; not those in
lower-case roman numerals throughout the reading.In your reaction, please give your
impressions of various aspects of the reading, including (but not limited to (so think outside
of the box)) verbiage, (particularly within the context of the reading), how the reading
sounded (then) and was interpreted then, as opposed to how the same reading sounds now
(within a modern-day context). Do not be concerned that you do not understand some of
the archaic language; simply put the words you do not understand into a search engine and
find their definitions.
