A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In this book Durrill describes in graphic detail the disintegration, during the Civil War, of Southern plantation society in a North Carolina coastal county. He details struggles among planters, slaves, yeoman farmers, and landless white labourers, as well as a guerrilla war and a clash between two armies that, in the end, destroyed all that remained of the county's social structure. He examines the failure of a planter-yeoman alliance, and discusses how yeoman farmers and landless white labourers allied themselves against planters, but to no avail. He also shows how slaves, when refugeed upcountry, tried unsuccessfully to reestablish their prerogatives--a subsistence, as well as protection from violence--owed them as a minimal condition of their servitude.

Revue de presse

Gives a lively and much-needed account of the underside of the Confederacy that heretofore only occasionally has seen the light of day. (North Carolina Historical Review)

Funkhousers book raises several interesting, engaging and timely problems in both metaphysics and philosophy of mind and is a book that should not be missed by philosophers working in these fields. (Katarina Perovic, Analysis)
