In the era between the world wars, wealthy sportsmen and
sportswomen created more than seventy large estates in the coastal
region of South Carolina. By retaining select features from earlier
periods and adding new buildings and landscapes, wealthy sporting
enthusiasts created a new type of plantation. In the process, they
changed the meaning of the word 'plantation', with profound
implications for historical memory of slavery and contemporary
views of the South. A New Plantation World is the first critical
investigation of these 'sporting plantations'. By examining the
process that remade former sites of slave labor into places of
leisure, Daniel J. Vivian explores the changing symbolism of
plantations in Jim Crow-era America.
