Open Books, 2026. Kurasa 278. $19.95\/toleo la jalada laini; $9.99\/kitabu pepe.   <\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Riwaya hii, ya tatu na ya mwisho katika mfululizo unaofanyika wakati wa Mapinduzi ya Marekani, inaweka Waquaker wa Philadelphia katikati ya tukio la Spanktown Papers. Mnamo 1777, jenerali mmoja wa Jeshi la Continental alidai kunasa nyaraka kutoka kwa Waquaker wa Spanktown (ambao leo ni Rahway, N.J.) zilizothibitisha kuwa walikuwa wakipeleleza kwa ajili ya Waingereza. Nyaraka hizo zilikuwa dhahiri bandia; hata hivyo, wanaume 20 Waquaker, wengi wao wakiwa wafanyabiashara wenye utajiri na wazee, walikamatwa, kusafirishwa, na kushikiliwa huko Winchester, Va., bila habeas corpus au mashtaka. Wanawake Waquaker waliunda ujumbe wa kusafiri kwenda kwa viongozi wa Jeshi la Continental na Bunge ili kuomba kuachiliwa kwa wanaume wa familia zao; wanahistoria wameelezea hili kuwa huenda ni kitendo cha kwanza cha kisiasa cha pamoja cha wanawake katika jamhuri hiyo mpya.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mwandishi Jane Hulse anatumia mambo muhimu ya tukio hilo kuweka simulizi katikati ya wanawake, Waquaker na wasio Waquaker, wa kaya zilizobaki kujitegemea wenyewe. Mhusika mkuu, mwandishi wa habari kijana Sarah Barrett, ni mmoja wa kundi la wahusika wanaojitokeza katika mfululizo mzima; wote wakiwa na uhusiano wa karibu na wapendwa walio pande zinazopingana za mgogoro huo. Kitabu hiki kinazingatia wale waliokataa \u201ckuchagua upande,\u201d yaani Waquaker, ambao walizidisha mashaka na hasira walipokataa kujihusisha na vitendo vya moja kwa moja au visivyo vya moja kwa moja vilivyounga mkono vita, kama vile kutumia sarafu isiyo na thamani iliyoundwa na waasi. Marafiki wa leo watahusiana na ushuhuda huo.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hadithi ndogo inahusisha bosi wa Sarah, mchapishaji tajiri wa gazeti mweupe, na mwanamke aliyekuwa mtumwa ambaye aliwekwa huru kisha akamwajiri kama mtumishi nyumbani kwake na katika biashara yake. Pia alimfanya kuwa suria wake, na jinsi mwandishi anavyoonyesha udhibiti huo wa kulazimishwa ukigeuka kuwa hadithi ya mapenzi kunahitaji uaminifu au huruma kubwa kuukubali. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Spanktown Papers<\/em> ni riwaya inayoongozwa na msuko wa hadithi, na nilisoma hadi mwisho, licha ya uandishi dhaifu. Niliona wahusika wa kike vijana wanaojitokeza mara kwa mara katika mfululizo huo wakiwa na mtazamo na lugha ya kisasa isiyoendana na wakati huo. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nilipenda jinsi Hulse alivyoshughulikia utajiri\u2014na kutojali kwa upendeleo\u2014kwa Waquaker wengi wa Philadelphia. Sarah, mwandishi wa habari asiye Mquaker anayeishi na familia ya Marafiki, hapofuki; anawakosoa Waquaker kwa kupingana kwao na kuonekana hawatambui tofauti kati ya mateso yao na yale ya askari waliowekwa Valley Forge au wengine waliokuwa wakiteseka chini ya utawala wa Kiingereza. Ilikuwa jambo la kutafakarisha kuzingatia jinsi wasio Waquaker walivyopitia matendo na misimamo ya Marafiki wa Philadelphia wenye nguvu kiuchumi lakini waliotengwa kiitikadi. Pia nilifurahia uchunguzi wa jinsi watu wanavyopatanisha mapenzi na uhusiano wao na wale wanaochukua pande tofauti kuhusu masuala ya nyakati hizo.   <\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Abigail E.
