This groundbreaking collection of essays brings together studies from diverse disciplines, including architectural history, historical archaeology, geography, and American studies. The contributors analyze urban sites and landscapes that are likewise varied, from the back lots of nineteenth-century Charleston townhouses to movements of enslaved workers through the streets of a small Tennessee town. These essays not only highlight the diversity of the slave experience in the antebellum city and town but also clearly articulate the common experience of conflict inherent in relationships based on power, resistance, and adaptation. \u003ci\u003eSlavery in the City\u003c\/i\u003e makes significant contributions to our understanding of American slavery and offers an essential guide to any study of slavery and the built environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRebecca Ginsburg, Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Director of the Education Justice Project, is the author of \u003ci\u003eAt Home with Apartheid: The Hidden Landscapes of Domestic Service in Johannesburg\u003c\/i\u003e (Virginia).
