Product Description

Uses archaeological data and historical records to document the treatment of enslaved people at L’Hermitage Plantation in Maryland. Megan Bailey uses the concept of the ‘nervous landscape’ - a space where power is not absolute and resistance possible - to show how the Vincendiere family’s fear of losing control drove their brutality.
