Texts of Our Institutional Lives. "Don't You Mean "Slaves," Not "Servants"?": Literary and Institutional Texts for an Interdisciplinary Classroom
Ashton, Susanna
College English, v69 n2 p156-172 Nov 2006
The author describes an undergraduate course she taught on "Representations of Slavery." In particular, she explains how the course involved studying an historic site on her university's campus: the former slave plantation of leading antebellum racist John C. Calhoun. She also analyzes how her school represents the site on its Web pages. (Contains 3 figures and 4 notes.)
