In the 1960s, a growing number of young scholars in the U.S. and elsewhere began a renewed interest in the study of colonial British American history. Initially focused on New England, this interest gradually turned to the Lower South by the 1980s. In this volume, 15 scholars from the U.S., the U.K. and France contribute essays exploring colonial South Carolina. Coverage includes the formative decades from 1670 through the 1730s, with a focus on colonial economic growth; the colony's reliance on slave labor; and the complexities of colonial social and cultural life. Academic but accessible to the general reader interested in this period of U.S. history. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Reflecting the burgeoning interest of colonial historians in South Carolina and its role as the economic and cultural center of the Lower South, Money, Trade, and Power is a comprehensive exploration of the colony's slave system, economy, and complex social and cultural life. The first six chapters of this essay collection focus on the formative decades of South Carolina's history, from 1670 through the 1730s. Contributors Meaghan N. Duff, Bertrand Van Ruymbeke, and Gary L. Hewitt explore the colony's early settlement. R. C. Nash, Stephen G. Hardy, and Eirlys M. Barker investigate the rapidly expanding economy. Turning to the colony's reliance on slave labor, William L. Ramsay analyzes the institution and abandonment of Indian slavery; Jennifer Lyle Morgan examines the reproductive capabilities of slave women; and S. Max Edelson looks at the distinctive social position of skilled slaves. Robert Olwell considers how South Carolina public officials adapted the office of justice of the peace to the needs of a slave society, while Matthew Mulcahy shows how calamities of fires and hurricanes exacerbated the problem of slave control. Finally, Edward Pearson describes the ways in which South Carolina's emerging elite asserted their new status; G. Winston Lane and Elizabeth M. Pruden review the surprising economic independence of women; and Thomas Little examines the colony's religious life and spread of evangelicalism. Codice articolo 9781570033742
