T‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‌‍‍‍‌his paper is centered around the black masculinity from the time of slavery to the modern world. Black masculinity is a combination of both black and male identities. The paper needs to have three quotes per body paragraph. These quotes need to be from the three stories which need to match up with the outside sources and be on the same page. The three readings we are using are from the Narrative from the life of Frederick Douglas, Incidents in the Life of A Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs, and The New Negro.

Frederick Douglas: black masculinity

I need eight outside sources for Frederick Douglas I need one for superiority complex from the point of view of the white slave master. The second outside for Frederick Douglass needs to be about inferiority complex of being a slave.

Incidents in the Life of A Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs

Incidents of a Slave Girl outside sources should focus around her father, lover later husband, and her brother plus son. The outside sources for these male relationships Harriet has need to be about what is a man’s natural freedoms and what separates a freedman from a slave man? Also, elaborate on how black during and after slavery had no permission to be seen as boys with Harriets brother and son. Explain with her father if he was truly free or did he just illusion himself in‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‌‍‍‍‌to believing he was freer than other black men. For Jacobs lover later husband how or what made in a free black man with masculinity defines as a man.

The New Negro: black masculinity

The New Negro outside sources need to be about the 20th century black man living during Jim Crow and the Harlem Renaissance. There needs to be no first or second person writing everything must be written in third person. No slang or contractions at all. Now, after every main body paragraphs that reference that affect each of the three eras for Douglass Jim Crow, Jacobs with Nat Turner’s rebellion and of course, New Negro with the KKK, civil rights, and the modern world. I also want advanced wordplay but the choice of diction needs to fit with the narrative. Overall theme with this essay and I want that theme to dominance. This is because masculinity teaches young men to be proud of physical strength and always stand up for yourself.
