Summary
"The author-editors of Seen/unseen: hidden lives in a Georgia slave community draw upon the letters and documents left behind by the Cobb-Lamar family to uncover the lost histories of enslaved peoples in the South. Each of the book's three sections begins with an introductory essay that provides context regarding the primary documents and letters included in the section. The first two sections explore the daily lives and relationships of slaves on several of the Cobb-Lamar plantations and their attempts to exert agency over their enslaved conditions. The last section examines closely the life of Aggy, Howell and Mary Ann Cobb's most trusted house servant"--, Provided by publisher
