| Description: |
Best known for his books We Have Never Been Modern, Laboratory Life, and Science in Action, Bruno Latour has inspired scholarship across many disciplines. In the past few years, the fields of rhetoric and composition have witnessed an explosion of interest in Latour's work. Editors Paul Lynch and Nathaniel Rivers have assembled leading and emerging scholars in order to continue and focus the debate over what Latour means for the study of persuasion and written communication. |
| Synopsis: |
Plantation sites, especially those in the southeastern United States, have long dominated the archaeological study of slavery. These antebellum estates, how-ever, are not representative of the range of geographic locations and time periods in which slaving has occurred. The Ar-chaeology of Slavery: A Comparative Ap-proach to Captivity and Coercion, edited by Lydia Wilson Marshall, investigates slavery in diverse settings and offers a broad framework for the interpretation of slaving. Essays cover the potential material representations of slavery, slave own-ers' strategies of coercion and enslaved people's methods of resisting this co-ercion, and the legacies of slavery as confronted by formerly enslaved people and their descendants.Among the peo-ples, sites, and periods examined are a late nineteenth-century Chinese laborer population in Carlin, Nevada; a castle slave habitation at San Domingo and a more elite trading center at nearby Juf-fure in the Gambia; two eighteenth-cen-tury plantations in Dominica; the Hueda Kingdom (Benin) in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; plantations in Zan-zibar; and three fugitive slave sites on Mauritius-an underground lava tunnel, a mountain, and a karst cave. |
