"Open access edition: DOI 10.6069/ 9780295748733 Dominica, a place once described as "Nature's Island," was rich in biodiversity and seemingly abundant water, but in the eighteenth century a brief, failed attempt by colonial administrators to replace cultivation of varied plant species with sugarcane caused widespread ecological and social disruption. Illustrating how deeply intertwined plantation slavery was with the environmental devastation it caused, Mapping Water in Dominica situates the social lives of eighteenth-century enslaved laborers in the natural history of two Dominican enclaves. Mark Hauser draws on archaeological and archival history from Dominica to reconstruct the changing ways that enslaved people interacted with water and exposes crucial pieces of Dominica's colonial history that have been omitted from official documents. The archaeological record-which preserves traces of slave households, waterways, boiling houses, mills, and vessels for storing water-reveals changes in political authority and in how social relations were mediated through the environment. Plantation monoculture, which depended on both slavery and an abundant supply of water, worked through the environment to create predicaments around scarcity, mobility, and belonging whose resolution was a matter of life and death. In following the vestiges of these struggles, this investigation documents a valuable example of an environmental challenge centered around insufficient water. Mapping Water in Dominica is available in an open access edition through the Sustainable History Monograph Pilot, thanks to the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and Northwestern University Libraries"-- Provided by publisher.

"I tell you, Americans, that unless you speedily alter course, you and your country are gone!" In his Appeal, 30 years before the American Civil War, David Walker writes with unrelenting intensity about the abuses of white America and calls for slaves to rise up and fight for their freedom. Some abolitionists thought his views were too extreme for the time, but his radical writing laid the groundwork for future leaders like Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. "Would you not rather be killed than be a slave to a tyrant?" This book inspired those fighting against slavery and frightened slaveholders, leading to new laws in the American south restricting slaves learning and reading. Walker's stirring call to action was the most radical piece of writing by an American black man in the nineteenth century, and is as relevant today as it was nearly two hundred years ago.
