Abstract

Abstract:This essay grapples with the painful, entwined legacies of chattel slavery and Indian removal in the United States through the theme of inheritance. Black and Indigenous peoples have inherited the broken promises, unfulfilled dreams, and unrealized hopes bequeathed to them by slavery, dispossession, and settler colonialism. This piece argues that in order to tackle contemporary issues of sovereignty, belonging, and anti-Blackness a reckoning with the importance of chattel slavery in Native slaveholding communities, with particular emphasis on how the institution exacerbated the trauma of dispossession and expulsion to the West in the 1830s, is necessary. The process of arriving at this reckoning may elucidate possibilities for healing and cooperation between the descendants of Black and Black Indigenous freedpeople and tribal members in the Five Nations.

南方黑人原住民的迁移、劳动和清算

摘要:本文以遗产为主题，探讨美国奴隶制和印第安人迁移的痛苦和交织的遗产。黑人和土著人民继承了奴隶制、土地剥夺和殖民主义遗留给他们的破碎的承诺、未实现的梦想和未实现的希望。这篇文章认为，为了解决当代的主权、归属和反黑人问题，有必要对土著蓄奴社区中动产奴隶制的重要性进行清算，特别强调该制度如何加剧了19世纪30年代被剥夺财产和驱逐到西方的创伤。得出这一结论的过程可能阐明在五国的黑人和黑人土著自由人后裔和部落成员之间治愈和合作的可能性。

期刊介绍： In the foreword to the first issue of the The Southern Literary Journal, published in November 1968, founding editors Louis D. Rubin, Jr. and C. Hugh Holman outlined the journal"s objectives: "To study the significant body of southern writing, to try to understand its relationship to the South, to attempt through it to understand an interesting and often vexing region of the American Union, and to do this, as far as possible, with good humor, critical tact, and objectivity--these are the perhaps impossible goals to which The Southern Literary Journal is committed." Since then The Southern Literary Journal has published hundreds of essays by scholars of southern literature examining the works of southern writers and the ongoing development of southern culture.
