Frankenstein's Monster: Constructing a Legal Regime to Regulate Race and Place
Abstract:The paper presents the mechanisms of displacement of Gullah Geechee people of the Sea Islands as an inheritance of colonial systems used to regulate Indigenous and Black peoples who came before them. As a sort of "Frankenstein's Monster," these systems were pieced together to fit the needs of desperate colonies at the expense of the majority of the land's occupants. I aim to show that the dispossession associated with heirs property is merely an extension of centuries of practices used to control race and place in La Florida and Carolina, illustrated through events related to the Yamasee War and Stono Rebellion.
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.
