Download or read book Black Rice written by Judith A. Carney and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few Americans identify slavery with the cultivation of rice, yet rice was a major plantation crop during the first three centuries of settlement in the Americas. Rice accompanied African slaves across the Middle Passage throughout the New World to Brazil, the Caribbean, and the southern United States. By the middle of the eighteenth century, rice plantations in South Carolina and the black slaves who worked them had created one of the most profitable economies in the world. Black Rice tells the story of the true provenance of rice in the Americas. It establishes, through agricultural and historical evidence, the vital significance of rice in West African society for a millennium before Europeans arrived and the slave trade began. The standard belief that Europeans introduced rice to West Africa and then brought the knowledge of its cultivation to the Americas is a fundamental fallacy, one which succeeds in effacing the origins of the crop and the role of Africans and African-American slaves in transferring the seed, the cultivation skills, and the cultural practices necessary for establishing it in the New World. In this vivid interpretation of rice and slaves in the Atlantic world, Judith Carney reveals how racism has shaped our historical memory and neglected this critical African contribution to the making of the Americas.

Download or read book Lowcountry Time and Tide written by James H. Tuten and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2012-11-26 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thorough account of rice culture's final decades and of its modern legacy. In mapping the slow decline of the rice kingdom across the half-century following the Civil War, James H. Tuten offers a provocative new vision of the forces—agricultural, environmental, economic, cultural, and climatic—stacked against planters, laborers, and millers struggling to perpetuate their once-lucrative industry through the challenging postbellum years and into the hardscrabble twentieth century. Concentrating his study on the vast rice plantations of the Heyward, Middleton, and Elliott families of South Carolina, Tuten narrates the ways in which rice producers—both the former grandees of the antebellum period and their newly freed slaves—sought to revive rice production. Both groups had much invested in the economic recovery of rice culture during Reconstruction and the beginning decades of the twentieth century. Despite all disadvantages, rice planting retained a perceived cultural mystique that led many to struggle with its farming long after the profits withered away. Planters tried a host of innovations, including labor contracts with former slaves, experiments in mechanization, consolidation of rice fields, and marketing cooperatives in their efforts to rekindle profits, but these attempts were thwarted by the insurmountable challenges of the postwar economy and a series of hurricanes that destroyed crops and the infrastructure necessary to sustain planting. Taken together, these obstacles ultimately sounded the death knell for the rice kingdom. The study opens with an overview of the history of rice culture in South Carolina through the Reconstruction era and then focuses on the industry's manifestations and decline from 1877 to 1930. Tuten offers a close study of changes in agricultural techniques and tools during the period and demonstrates how adaptive and progressive rice planters became despite their conservative reputations. He also explores the cultural history of rice both as a foodway and a symbol of wealth in the lowcountry, used on currency and bedposts. Tuten concludes with a thorough treatment of the lasting legacy of rice culture, especially in terms of the environment, the continuation of rice foodways and iconography, and the role of rice and rice plantations in the modern tourism industry.

Download or read book The South Carolina Rice Plantation as Revealed in the Papers of Robert F W Allston written by Robert Francis Withers Allston and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reissue of The South Carolina Rice Plantation as Revealed in the Papers of Robert F.W. Allston makes available for a new generation of readers a firsthand look at one of South Carolinas most influential antebellum dynasties and the institutions of slavery and plantation agriculture upon which it was built. Often cited by historians, Robert F.W. Allstons letters, speeches, receipts, and ledger entries chronicle both the heyday of the rice industry and its precipitate crash during the Civil War. As Daniel C. Littlefield underscores in his introduction to the new edition, these papers are significant not only because of Allstons position at the apex of planter society but also because his views represented those of the rice planter elite.

Download or read book Deep Roots written by Edda L. Fields-Black and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-20 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mangrove rice farming on West Africa's Rice Coast was the mirror image of tidewater rice plantations worked by enslaved Africans in 18th-century South Carolina and Georgia. This book reconstructs the development of rice-growing technology among the Baga and Nalu of coastal Guinea, beginning more than a millennium before the transatlantic slave trade. It reveals a picture of dynamic pre-colonial coastal societies, quite unlike the static, homogenous pre-modern Africa of previous scholarship. From its examination of inheritance, innovation, and borrowing, Deep Roots fashions a theory of cultural change that encompasses the diversity of communities, cultures, and forms of expression in Africa and the African diaspora.
Download or read book Carolina Gold Rice written by Richard Schulze and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-08-06 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carolina Gold, the celebrated variety of rice established in the South Carolina Lowcountry, perhaps saved the fledgling colony at the beginning of the eighteenth century and remained integral to the local economy for nearly two hundred years. However, the labor required to produce it encouraged the establishment of slavery, ultimately contributing to the region's economic collapse following the Civil War. Richard Schulze, who reintroduced this crop in South Carolina after nearly a century's absence, provides this fascinating inside story of an industry that helped build some of the largest fortunes in America. Drawing on both historical research and personal experience, Schulze reveals the legacy of this once-forgotten Lowcountry icon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recent Foreign Explorations: As Bearing on the Agricultural Development of the Southern States The introduction of Kiushu rice by the Section of Seed and Plant Introduction of the United States Department of Agriculture in 1899 was the first step taken toward improving the conditions of rice grow ing in southern Louisiana and Texas, and the marked development of the rice industry since that time is in a large measure due to the value of this variety. There were still other problems connected with the rice industry, however, as well as those which concerned the improve ment of extensive tracts of pine. Lands occurring in many of the Southern States, which remained unsolved. These problems could be best approached by first securing all the information available in foreign lands, and Dr. S. A. Knapp was commissioned to go to Asia to make a careful study of the rice industry and to secure such seeds as he might decide were valuable. Dr. Knapp's report deals with the life of the peoples among whom he traveled, as well as with the methods and cost of rice production and the cultivation and production of certain other crops, and alto gether it constitutes a unique contribution to our knowledge of the agriculture and the condition of the farming communities of these countries. The report is submitted for publication as Bulletin No. 35 of the Bureau of Plant Industry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
