A Desolate Place for a Defiant People
In the 250 years before the Civil War, the Great Dismal Swamp of Virginia and North Carolina was a brutal landscape—2,000 square miles of undeveloped and unforgiving wetlands, peat bogs, impenetrable foliage, and dangerous creatures. It was also a protective refuge for marginalized communities, including Native Americans, African-American maroons, free African Americans, and outcast Europeans. Here they created their own way of life, free of the exploitation and alienation they had escaped. In the first thorough examination of this vital site, Daniel Sayers examines the area’s archaeological record, exposing and unraveling the complex social and economic systems developed by these defiant communities that thrived on the periphery. He develops an analytical framework based on the complex interplay between alienation, diasporic exile, uneven geographical development, and modes of production to argue that colonialism and slavery inevitably created sustained critiques of American capitalism.

Union
Since the development of photography in the mid-nineteenth century, the camera has been used as a tool of both discovery and preservation. Photographs bring alive our image of the past and can open a floodgate of memories and nostalgia or inspire curiosity and a sense of history. Union began in the early 1700s as a small farming community called Connecticut Farms. After is was burned to the ground by British and Hessian troops during the Revolutionary War, residents rebuilt their homes and renamed their town Union. Life remained essentially unchanged in the small rural town into the 1930s when main roads were still unpaved and cows disrupted traffic on Morris Avenue. Following World War II, however, Union began to expand and grow into the thriving community that it is today. The selection of photographs in this delightful visual history chronicles the many changes that Union has undergone from the 1870s to the 1980s.
