Closer to Freedom by Stephanie M H Camp

Closer to Freedom by Stephanie M H Camp

Recent scholarship on slavery has explored the lives of enslaved people beyond the watchful eye of their masters. Building on this work and the study of space, social relations, gender, and power in the Old South, Stephanie Camp examines the everyday containment and movement of enslaved men and, especially, enslaved women.

This is one of my all-time favourite booksIt’s a history of enslaved women’s efforts to escape some of the harsher and more violent moments of their enslavement. It traces enslaved women’s lives in the deep South from the antebellum period through the Civil War. Stephanie Camp looks at the different ways they resisted violence and dehumanization. They resisted physically by escaping." - Five Books
