Join us in congratulating Dr. Jarvis C. McInnis,(English), on his new book entitled: Afterlives of the Plantation, Plotting Agrarian Futures in the Global Black South. In contrast to traditional understandings of Black modernity as urban and premised on northward migration, McInnis foregrounds rural settings and practices of place making, rootedness, and liberatory agriculture. Shedding new light on the transnational influence of a historically Black institution in the U.S. South, Afterlives of the Plantation remaps Black cultural, intellectual, and political histories down to the very soil.
