520 A Mind to Stay is a unique and extraordinary historical
narrative of generations of a Black family with roots in
slavery and in the South. This family won their freedom
with emancipation but, instead of fleeing the poverty and
oppression of the White plantation, decided to stay on the
homeland of their White masters and then to purchase it
for themselves within a decade. In a true counterpoint to
the predominant tale of the Black exodus north in the late
nineteenth and early twentieth century, these African
Americans chose to hold onto the land that they had
rightfully inherited and to risk all to keep it in the
ensuing decades. Sydney Nathans, in his deep research into
family and plantation papers and archives, as well as in
invaluable oral interviews, has uncovered a slice of
history that would otherwise have remained unknown. It is
the story of a White plantation, Cameron Place, its owners
who kept their slaves in family units, and who then sold
their plantation to the same families in the 1870s. Those
land-owning Blacks chose to remain on their land in the
South through the tumultuous years of Reconstruction and
Jim Crow and to claim all the rights due to a landowner up
to the present. It is an unusual and original story told
with great sensitivity and poignancy by Nathans who has
the perseverance of a detective in seeking out the hidden
tale and the skills and empathy of the historian in
relating it.--|cProvided by publisher.
