Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Muzzled Oxen: Reaping Cotton Sowing Hope in 1920s Arkansas. by genevieve grant Sadler. (little rock, Ar: butler center books, 2014. pp. 358, foreword, 27 photographs.)I can stand on the top of the earth feel something within me that rises up to understand everything, writes the author of Muzzled Oxen, and i would not exchange my spirit for the whole world (p. 280). readers who happen across this unheralded book will likely come away in awe of that incredible spirit, wondering why took more than 80 years to hear the voice of this most exceptional woman to see a slice of the past through her penetrating gaze.A canadian by birth californian by raising, Sadler accompanied her Arkansas-born husband back to his ancestral farm in 1920, a trip of perhaps equal parts discovery despondency that lasted until the mississippi river flood of 1927 washed the Sadlers their three boys back to the West coast to stay. Muzzled Oxen is genevieve grant Sadler's memoir of the family's seven-year sojourn in the malarial Arkansas river bottoms of yell county. like the hundreds of books that offer firsthand peeks into rural southern life in the early 20th century, Muzzled Oxen highlights a variety of by-now familiar elements of folklife material culture: cooking foods, folk popular music, square dances, singing schools, hog killings, folk remedies, snuff sticks, split-board bonnets, holy roller brush arbors. reader experiences all through Sadler's outsider perspective, with the amazement frequent condescension of a californian experiencing life in the rural South for the first time. We experience Sadler's mostly unwilling transformation from an independent headstrong 20-something in high heels to a gingham-wearing (and still independent) Arkansas farm wife. We experience the uncer- tainty of the cotton system, from boll weevils to floods, from prices to migrant cotton pickers, all of which bred a sort of fatalism among landowners tenants alike. it was almost taken for granted that either total failure or at best a meager reward would be the common lot, nothing more was expected (p. 121).Like most inheritors of a culture education level quite foreign to the sandy roads steamy river bottoms of the South, Sadler often viewed her new surroundings neighbors through dismissive or patronizing eyes. She criticized the cheap, ready-to-wear clothing available at the local general store, though she was aware that the tenants sharecroppers who shopped there could afford no better. Dissatisfied with the bare facilities lack of funds at the local one-room schoolhouse, she took the almost unprecedented step of educating her sons at home. Fed up with the bleak outlooks dim horizons of the poor white trash, she feigned surprise that these people . . . really human beings after all. like many chroniclers of the Jim crow South, she found the African Americans in her midst more redeemable than most whites, yet she harbored the condescending, maternalistic prejudices common to the era. The colored people when treated fairly, observed Sadler, were just like little children, easily managed, easily provoked, believing childishly but implicitly in a heavenly Father who watched over them (p. …
