HIST 1301: U.S. History to 1877 Instructor: Dr. Christopher Haight Book Review: DUE TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5

Read Stephanie M. H. Camp’s "Closer to Freedom: Enslaved Women and Everyday Resistance in the Plantation South" fully. Then, write a 3 to 5-page book review that summarizes the book and connects it to class discussions about slavery in the nineteenth century. Your review should include:

  • A clear statement of the author's main argument (thesis).
  • An explanation of how the author supports this argument with specific details from the book.
  • The book's contribution to the understanding of slavery and its place in the historical literature.
  • The types of sources the author uses to back her claims.
  • A discussion of how the book reinforces, challenges, or expands upon what you have learned in class about slavery in the nineteenth century.

Format your review in Times New Roman, 12-point font, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins. Do not include citations unless quoting directly from the book, and cite page numbers if you do. The paper should be well-written and grammatically correct. The header does not count toward the length. Submit a hard copy by Tuesday, December 5. Late submissions are penalized by 10 points per day and will not be accepted after three days. Electronic submission via email is permitted. PLAGIARISM will result in a zero and disciplinary action. No group work; this must be completed individually.
