This fascinating story of Amanda America Dickson, born the privileged daughter of a white planter and an unconsenting slave in antebellum Georgia, shows how strong-willed individuals defied racial strictures for the sake of family. Kent Anderson Leslie uses the events of Dickson's life to explore the forces driving southern race and gender relations from the days of King Cotton through the Civil War, Reconstruction, and New South eras.

Although legally a slave herself well into her adolescence, Dickson was much favored by her father and lived comfortably in his house, receiving a genteel upbringing and education. After her father died in 1885 Dickson inherited most of his half-million dollar estate, sparking off two years of legal battles with white relatives. When the Georgia Supreme Court upheld the will, Dickson became the largest landowner in Hancock County, Georgia, and the wealthiest black woman in the post-Civil War South.

Kent Anderson Leslie's portrayal of Dickson is enhanced by a wealth of details about plantation life; the elaborate codes of behavior for men and women, blacks and whites in the South; and the equally complicated circumstances under which racial transgressions were sometimes ignored, tolerated, or even accepted.

Críticas

Excellent social history . . . Leslie's outstanding detective work illuminates issues of race and class in the life of a woman who escaped the limits of both.

-- Publishers Weekly

Leslie pieces together a story that provides a surprisingly detailed account of life in the nineteenth-century South.

-- Booklist

Leslie overcomes the limitations of her sources to provide new insights on the intersection of race, class, and gender in the postbellum South, through the life of this remarkable woman.

-- Choice

While painstakingly reconstructing the identity and experiences of a woman who was born a slave but raised as free, Leslie discovered and then described a South where day-to-day social relations often defied social prescription. . . . A lovingly written account of the life of a heretofore unknown southern woman. Yet it is much more than that. This slim volume is also eloquent testimony to a woman whose very identity and experiences called race-based slavery into question. It is there, where the unusual is portrayed as usual, that the book excels. For it is there that Leslie demonstrates that more open, or fluid, race relations could exist in the nineteenth-century South.

-- Journal of American History

    I found this book to be informative and compelling. It is accurate and non-judgmental in the description of life in Hancock, Co GA during that time. Amanda Dickson herself was an incredible woman to be able to withstand the intense dogging of her family members over her father's will. A must read for anyone interested in GA history, Hancock Co GA and free people of color during that time.

    I love this book I am collecting books about African-American history. Several years ago I saw the movie "A House Divided" which I just watched on you tube they have many movies on this subject. The book is very good it really reveals many things about the family and in later years tell about her sons. It is amazing how she won the case bought by her fathers' family.

    I recommend this book to readers who are American historians (novice or otherwise), those wanting to know more about American life and race relations, and to those who are interested in Black Women's Studies. I love studying American history generally, and particularly as it concerns African American females. Amanda's mother's story was as interesting to me in some ways as Amanda's story; there are two life histories being told here. This book shed light on the lengths that interracial families went to protect their loved ones under a system of aparthteid in early America. It tells a different story of America. One filled with more promise.
