Recenzje

'… no one has presented the 'New Plantation World' of the South Carolina lowcountry as comprehensively as Vivian. His book is rich in details and exhaustively footnoted. He draws on a wealth of primary and secondary sources to support his argument, including public and private manuscript collections. Vivian does for the South Carolina lowcountry what Stephanie Yuhl did for the city of Charleston, South Carolina, with A Golden Haze of Memory: The Making of Historic Charleston (2005). Indeed, Yuhl's and Vivian's books could serve as companion pieces that present a picture of how the both the urban and rural built environment and landscape of the South Carolina coast were rehabilitated and transformed in the early twentieth century to create an imagined past.'
