Rations, Hunting, Fishing, and Farms: Pre- and Post-Emancipation Foodways on James Island
Author(s): Brandy Joy
Year: 2018
Summary
James Island, South Carolina is a place of intergenerational connectedness and a nexus of Lowcountry food culture. Many descendants of the agricultural plantations that once carpeted the island still reside in the area. Archaeological remains uncovered at Stono Plantation are analyzed and twentieth century oral histories of islanders are used in order to compare pre- and post-emancipation foodways. Preliminary findings are discussed.
