Georgetown's early history, which is closely tied to that of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) in Maryland, is a microcosm of the whole history of American slavery: the entrenchment of chattel slavery in the tobacco economy of the Chesapeake in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; the contradictions of liberty and slavery at the founding of the United States; the rise of the domestic slave trade to the cotton and sugar kingdoms of the Deep South in the nineteenth century ; the political conflict over slavery and its overthrow amid civil war, and slavery's persistent legacies of racism and inequality. Georgetown is also emblematic of the complex entanglement of American higher education and religious institutions with slavery. Copious archival materials - literally, 'receipts' - document that history down to the sizes of shoes distributed to enslaved people on the Jesuit plantations that subsidized the school. Today, Georgetown's efforts at recovery, repair, and reconciliation are part of a broader contemporary moment of reckoning with that history and its legacies. Universities are uniquely situated to conduct that reckoning in a constructive way through research, teaching, and modeling thoughtful, informed discussion. We hope that this volume will contribute to that effort at Georgetown and beyond"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Georgetown University $x History. 610 20 $a Georgetown University $x History $v Sources. 610 20 $a Jesuits $z United States $x History. 610 20 $a Jesuits $z United States $x History $v Sources. 650 0 $a Slavery $z United States $x History. $0 https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85123330 650 0 $a Slavery $z United States $x History $v Sources. $0 https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010113270 650 0 $a African Americans $x History. $0 https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85001955 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $v Sources. $0 https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007100200 650 0 $a Racism $z United States. $0 https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008110339 650 0 $a Reconciliation. $0 https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85111855 650 0 $a Memory $x Social aspects $z United States. $0 https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010101438 700 1 $a Rothman, Adam, $d 1971- $0 https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2004037259 $e editor. 700 1 $a Barraza Mendoza, Elsa, $0 https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2020142220 $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20221103012810.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F282A8BA5B3C11ED8F2A915D41ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
