Closer to Freedom: Enslaved Women and Everyday Resistance in the Plantation South 240 pages | The University of North Carolina Press (December 9, 2003) | 0807828726 | PDF | 2 Mb "Very readable yet analytically sophisticated. . . . Camp seamlessly integrates a wide array of sources . . . into an engaging book that does more than recount women's experiences as slaves in the plantation South. . . . An excellent study of bondwomen and a penetrating look at the rival geographies created by enslaved people." — Journal of Southern History "Wonderfully evocative. . . . A provocative book full of astonishing, sometimes unforgettable moments." — Virginia Magazine
