From Afro-Indigenous communities of the Sea Islands and the Okefenokee Swamp to inter-racial networks of anti-Confederate resistance during the Civil War and post-war labor strikes by Black and white granite workers at Stone Mountain, this new study of Georgia’s freedom movements tells the story of oppressed peoples of African, Indigenous, and even European descent who fought together against slavery and colonialism while building multi-racial communities of resistance in remote areas outside of state or colonial authority.
