SUMMARY:Contested Space and the Pursuit of Freedom in the Great Dismal Swa
 mp by Dr. Hyman
DESCRIPTION:Come learn about the Great Dismal Swamp\, located in Coastal P
 lain Region of Virginia and North Carolina\, and hear the history of how 
 enslaved peoples found freedom here.\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more than two centuri
 es\, enslaved people sought refuge in the Great Dismal Swamp of southeast
 ern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. These freedom seekers estab
 lished and sustained communities on precarious mesic islands within the G
 reat Dismal Swamp. Archaeologists have explored the maroon settlements es
 tablished on these islands and historians have discussed these communitie
 s in general terms. However\, the journeys of the diasporic exiles who re
 ached the Great Dismal Swamp have not previously been addressed. This pre
 sentation examines those journeys. Using data from newspaper advertisemen
 ts for runaway slaves\, Dr. Hyman explores relationships between the plan
 tations from which enslaved individuals liberated themselves and their is
 land destinations in the Great Dismal Swamp. This examination shows how g
 eospatial approaches within historical geography\, coupled with historica
 l analysis\, animate obscured geographies of containment and domination t
 o reveal the range of antagonisms that enslaved freedom seekers faced in 
 their journeys to freedom.\n\n\n\n\n\n
