Altamaha
Formed by the confluence of the Ocmulgee and Oconee Rivers, the Altamaha is the largest free-flowing river on the East Coast and drains its third-largest watershed. It has been designated as one of the Nature Conservancy's seventy-five Last Great Places because of its unique character and rich natural diversity. In evocative photography and elegant prose, Altamaha captures the distinctive beauty of this river and offers a portrait of the man who has become its improbable guardian. Few people know the Altamaha better than James Holland. Raised in Cochran, Georgia, Holland spent years on the river fishing, hunting, and working its coastal reaches as a commercial crabber.

The Altamaha is Ray’s river, and from childhood she dreamed of paddling its entire l...
Confluences of Race and Nature in the Altamaha River Basin
Rising from urban headwaters in metro Atlanta and Athens, Georgia, the Altamaha is a large river system. Its catchment lies entirely in the state of Georgia, drains an area of roughly 14,000 square miles, making it one of the largest single contributions of freshwater to the Atlantic on the east coast of the United States. This dissertation is a study of the confluences of race and nature in the Altamaha River Basin. I approach the discursive and material qualities of race and nature in this basin as ontologically connected, emergent, and shifting in territorial assemblages. In this dissertation, I demonstrate the particular ways that race and nature are co-constituted in the territorializat...
