In this episode I speak with Daniel Livesay about the book Children of a Uncertain Fortune. This is a narrative that is not spoken or written about during the time of slavery. Mixed Raced children adults are mostly referred to as an adjunct during this time. The book details the narrative of these individuals and the type of lives that they have lived and abstracting this information from wills and the laws during that time. My own genealogy traces some of the same narratives as to what is detailed in the book Children of a Uncertain fortune.
Bio:
Daniel Livesay is a scholar of Early American and Atlantic History. His work examines the intersection of race, family, and slavery in North America and the Caribbean. He teaches courses on slavery, Native American history, the history of the family, revolutions, and racial ideologies in the Americas. Currently, Professor Livesay is completing work on a manuscript that analyzes what life was like for elderly enslaved people in Virginia and Jamaica. This research explores how old workers were instrumental to the plantation culture and economy, as well as to broader cultural conceptions of slavery during the era of abolition.
