＜p＞＜strong＞A Pulitzer Prize finalist in History, this eye-opening rethinking of nineteenth-century American history reveals the interdependence of the Northern industrial economy and Southern slave labor.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The industrializing North and the agricultural Southーthat’s how we have been taught to think about the United States in the early nineteenth century. But in doing so, we overlook the economic ties that held the nation together before the Civil War. We miss slavery’s long reach into small New England communities, just as we fail to see the role of Northern manufacturing in shaping the terrain of human bondage in the South. Using ＜em＞plantation goods＜/em＞ーthe shirts, hats, hoes, shovels, shoes, axes, and whips made in the North for use in the Southーhistorian Seth Rockman locates the biggest stories in American history in the everyday objects that stitched together the lives and livelihoods of Americansーwhite and Black, male and female, enslaved and freeーacross an expanding nation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞By following the stories of material objects, such as shoes made by Massachusetts farm women that found their way to the feet of a Mississippi slave, Rockman reveals a national economy organized by slaveryーa slavery that outsourced the production of its supplies to the North, and a North that outsourced its slavery to the South. Melding business and labor history through powerful storytelling, ＜em＞Plantation Goods＜/em＞ brings northern industrialists, southern slaveholders, enslaved field hands, and paid factory laborers into the same picture. In one part of the country, entrepreneurs envisioned fortunes to be made from “planter’s hoes” and rural women spent their days weaving “negro cloth” and assembling “slave brogans.” In another, enslaved people actively consumed textiles and tools imported from the North to contest their bondage. In between, merchants, marketers, storekeepers, and debt collectors laid claim to the profits of a thriving interregional trade.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Examining producers and consumers linked in economic and moral relationships across great geographic and political distances, ＜em＞Plantation Goods＜/em＞ explores how people in the nineteenth century thought about complicity with slavery while showing how slavery structured life nationwide and established a modern world of entrepreneurship and exploitation. Rockman brings together lines of American history that have for too long been told separately, as slavery and capitalism converge in something as deceptively ordinary as a humble pair of shoes.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
