Tiya Miles

Tales from the Haunted South

Dark Tourism and Memories of Slavery from the Civil War Era

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Explores the popular yet troubling phenomenon of "ghost tours", frequently promoted and experienced at plantations, urban manor homes, and cemeteries throughout the US South. Examining popular sites and stories from these tours, Tiya Miles shows that haunted tales routinely appropriate and skew African American history to produce representations of slavery for commercial gain.
