Скачать или смотреть Hard Histories Book Talks: Tony Perry and Jennie Williams

April 15, 2021

Join Hard Histories at Hopkins for a conversation with historians and authors Tony Perry (UVA) and Jennie Williams (UC Santa Cruz). Perry’s scholarship centers on how enslaved people in nineteenth-century Maryland interfaced with their broader environments–geological, meteorological, and otherwise–as they navigated bondage. Williams writes about the coastal slave trade from Baltimore to New Orleans in the antebellum period, and the impacts of forced separation of families on the lives of enslaved people. Collectively, their work sheds light on the effects of enslavement in the Maryland area with which Johns Hopkins University must grapple.

Perry and Williams will be in conversation with Martha S. Jones, Hard Histories’ project director. Their conversation will be followed by an audience Q&A.
