All That She Carried: The Journey of Ashley's Sack, a Black Family Keepsake by Tiya Miles

4.0

Tiya Miles is a scholar and a researcher. This book makes it clear how little we know about unfree people of color whose existence was predominately documented as numbers, ages, and sex. Names not so much. I did not know much about South Carolina and how different slave culture was in that state due to many of the slave owners had come from Barbados. Slavery in the West Indies was very cruel and this practice was continued in our south eastern states.
