Attribution
Elizabeth DuPree McNair
Publication Details
Book, Published by Duke University Press for the American Dialect Society, 2005
Links
- TABLE OF CONTENTS
Description
Drawing on established research on the diversity of early American Englishes in the South as well as ongoing sociolinguistic investigation, this volume demonstrates how generational dialect changes are attributable to shifts in socioeconomic structure. For the farmers, many of whom have been forced to give up farming, the paternalistic and complex structure of the mill village emphasizes the loss of the postbellum goal of personal independence.

Dwelling Place : A Plantation Epic

Erskine Clarke

Book, Yale University Press, 2005

Description
history reveals in detail how the benevolent impulses of Jones and his family became ideological supports for deep oppression, and how the slave Lizzy Jones and members of her family struggled against that oppression. Through letters, plantation and church records, court documents, slave narratives, archaeological findings, and the memory of the African-American community, Clarke brings to light the long-suppressed history of the slaves of the Jones plantations?a history inseparably bound to that of their white owners.
