Concentrated there were some of the richest--and most expansive--plantations of the South. It was an unhealthy region for both blacks and whites; slavery, in the swamps, was administered with particular severity. Focusing on three of the largest plantations, Dusinberre presents portraits of individuals, both black and white, who personify and exemplify the harsh realities of the slave system. \u003cem\u003eThem Dark Days\u003c\/em\u003e offers a vivid reconstruction of slavery in action; while it conveys the atmosphere and daily routine of the plantations, it also sets the analysis of slave culture within a wider context of health, discipline, privilege, and psychology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Dusinberre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195090217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195090215\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/11\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.51h x 6.41w x 1.70d","brand":"William Dusinberre","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054641770751,"sku":"9780195090215","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2e177145-81ce-485b-a804-ba46d002f10e.jpg?v=1685031136","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/them-dark-days-william-dusinberre-9780195090215","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
