摘要

Atlantic and American historians have sought to unravel slavery's monolithic narratives since the dawn of social history studies a generation ago. But rarely do researchers investigate the institution in an urban context beyond a handful of major southern cities. A slim new volume from University of Virginia Press, Slavery in the City: Architecture and Landscapes of Urban Slavery in North America, offers compelling evidence that the lives of enslaved Africans and African Americans in places other than Richmond, Charleston, and New Orleans are indeed hidden in plain sight. Its eight essays push beyond the familiar fields and big houses of the plantation to small Tennessee towns and Texas' very edges to prove that "many of the urban environments that are familiar to us today are the legacy of [slavery's] violence, as well as of ingenuity, courage, and perseverance" (10).
