Book Description
This important work brings together the best writing in the field, including classic pieces on slave landscapes by W.E.B. DuBois and Dell Upton, alongside new essays on such topics as the building methods that Africans brought to the American South and information about slave family units and spiritual practices that can be gathered from archaeological remains. Through deep analysis of the built environment the authors invite us to reconsider antebellum buildings, landscapes, cabins, yards, and garden plots, and what these sites can teach us about the real conditions of enslavement. The starting point in any study of slavery and the built environment, this anthology makes an essential contribution to the cultural history of the United States. --Résumé de l'éditeur.
