This Is Our Home: Slavery and Struggle on Southern Plantations Stewart Whitney Nell
The cultural memory of plantations in the Old South has long been clouded by myth. Plantations are no longer simply seen as places of beauty and grandiose hospitality; their reality as spaces of enslavement, exploitation, and violence is increasingly at the forefront of our scholarly and public narratives. A recent reckoning with the centrality of slavery to the US national story, however, has shifted the meaning of these sites.
Yet even this reckoning obscures what these sites meant to so many forced to live and labor on them: plantations were Black homes as much as white.Insightfully reading the built environment of plantations, considering artifact fragments found in excavations of slave dwellings, and drawing on legal records and plantation owners' papers, Whitney Nell Stewart illuminates how enslaved people struggled to make home amid innumerable constraints and obstacles
