Learning Slavery at Home: Garçonnières and Adolescent Enslavers in Rural Louisiana 1806–1861

Through a close reading of the narrative of Louisa Picquet, a survivor of sexual violence in Georgia and Louisiana, this article reflects on the recovery of evidence of sexual violence…
Long Past Slavery: Representing Race in the Federal Writers’ Project
Recent years have seen contemporary racial injustice in American society increasingly investigated through the lens of historic abuses. At this moment, therefore, it seems appropriate that scholars
