This volume draws together richly textured and deeply empirical
accounts of rice and how its cultivation in the Carolina low
country stitch together a globe that maps colonial economies,
displacement, and the creative solutions of enslaved people
conscripted to cultivate its grain. If sugar fueled the economic
hegemony of North Europe in the 18th and 19th century, rice fed it.
Nowhere has this story been a more integral part of the landscape
than Low Country of the coasts of Georgia, South and North
Carolina. Rice played a key role in the expansion of slavery in the
Carolinas during the 18th century as West African captives were
enslaved, in part for their expertise in growing rice. Contributors
to this volume explore the varied genealogies of rice cultivation
in the Low Country through archaeological, anthropological, and
historical research. This multi-sited volume draws on case studies
from Guinea, Sierra Leone, and South Carolina, the Caribbean and
India to both compare and connect these disparate regions. Through
these studies the reader will learn how the rice cultivation
knowledge of untold numbers of captive Africans contributed to the
development of the Carolinas and by extension, the United States
and Europe. The chapters in this book were originally published as
a special issue of Atlantic Studies.
