For his senior thesis, Silas Altheimer, a graduate of Haverford College, writes a damning examination of the Harriet Beecher Stowe's writing of Tom in Uncle Tom's Cabin. Rather than solely examine how Tom's non-violence shortens his life, Silas examines how Tom's humanity is limited. Additionally, Altheimer examines Tom's masochism and how the author Stowe, romanticizes it. Such romanticization raises questions about the extent to which Stowe wrote Tom as a prototype of an acceptable Black man post-slavery.
