Download or read book The Manor: Three Centuries at a Slave Plantation on Long Island written by Mac Griswold and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mac Griswold's The Manor is the biography of a uniquely American place that has endured through wars great and small, through fortunes won and lost, through histories bright and sinister—and of the family that has lived there since its founding as a Colonial New England slave plantation three and a half centuries ago. In 1984, the landscape historian Mac Griswold was rowing along a Long Island creek when she came upon a stately yellow house and a garden guarded by looming boxwoods. She instantly knew that boxwoods that large—twelve feet tall, fifteen feet wide—had to be hundreds of years old. So, as it happened, was the house: Sylvester Manor had been held in the same family for eleven generations. Formerly encompassing all of Shelter Island, New York, a pearl of 8,000 acres caught between the North and South Forks of Long Island, the manor had dwindled to 243 acres. Still, its hidden vault proved to be full of revelations and treasures, including the 1666 charter for the land, and correspondence from Thomas Jefferson. Most notable was the short and steep flight of steps the family had called the "slave staircase," which would provide clues to the extensive but little-known story of Northern slavery. Alongside a team of archaeologists, Griswold began a dig that would uncover a landscape bursting with stories. Based on years of archival and field research, as well as voyages to Africa, the West Indies, and Europe, The Manor is at once an investigation into forgotten lives and a sweeping drama that captures our history in all its richness and suffering. It is a monumental achievement.

Book excerpt: "As this true story unfolds, each detail seems more shocking: a young man forced to methodically kill his friends; his calm, unresisting compliance; men chained together, two by two, weighted down with rocks, and slowly driven to the bridges where they would be thrown over, alive and terrified; men ordered to dig their own graves."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the Last Plantation, James Jones uses the plantation metaphor to investigate how Congress operates as a racialized governing institution, a state body organized through racism that imposes the rules that structure our society along racial lines. He develops his argument in two parts by analyzing the career experiences of Black congressional workers. First, he shows how the congressional workplace produces inequality. Lawmakers' decisions to exempt themselves from the regulations that they impose on other employers have led to insular work processes that perpetuate racial inequality. They have created and managed an unequal workplace where positions are racially stratified, space is segregated, and identities and interactions are racialized. This hierarchy constrains the agency of non-White workers and leads to the credentialing of a White power elite. Second, he demonstrates how Black workers from legislative staffers to cafeteria servers have fought back against these unequal work processes and injustices on Capitol Hill. He shows how Black workers have reimagined Congress as a black capitol, a site of minority empowerment where they have used their institutional positions to promote racial justice. Examining these processes, The Last Plantation argues that Congress and its workplace operate both as sites of oppression and, through the labor of Black workers, as sites of resistance. By exploring the Last Plantation from "above" and "below," Jones shows both how racism is maintained by this governing institution and how racism is confronted. Through this argument, he develops a theory of legislative inequality to show how the unequal distribution of resources and rewards among workers influences the creation of public policy and the organization of the American political system. He draws on interviews with 75 congressional staffers, archival research, ethnographic observations, and statistical analysis of personnel records"--
