This title remaps slave society. In this new interpretation of
antebellum slavery, Anthony Kaye offers a vivid portrait of slaves
transforming adjoining plantations into slave neighborhoods. He
describes men and women opening paths from their owners'
plantations to adjacent farms to go courting and take spouses, to
work, to run away, and to otherwise contend with owners and their
agents. Demonstrating that neighborhoods prevailed across the
South, Kaye reformulates ideas about slave marriage, resistance,
independent production, paternalism, autonomy, and the slave
community that have defined decades of scholarship. This is the
first book about slavery to use the pension files of former
soldiers in the Union army, a vast source of rich testimony by
ex-slaves.
