Francis is found. Beyond Francis, a family is found-in archival material that barely deigned to notice their existence. This is the story of Francis Sistrunk and her children, from enslavement into forced migration across South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. It spans decades before the Civil War and continues into post-emancipation America. A family story full of twists and turns, Finding Francis reclaims and honors those women who played an essential role in the historical survival and triumph of Black people during and after American slavery. Elizabeth West has created a remarkable 'biohistoriography' of everyday Black resistance, grounded in a determination to maintain enduring connections of family, kinship, and community despite the inhumanity and rapacity of slavery. There is inevitable heartbreak in these histories, but there is also an empowering strength and inspiration-the truth of these lives will indeed set us all free"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 30 $a Sistrunk family. 600 10 $a Sistrunk, Francis, $d approximately 1827-between 1880 and 1900 $x Family. 600 37 $a Sistrunk family. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00378534 650 0 $a African American families $z Southern States $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American women $x Social conditions $y 19th century. 650 0 $a African Americans $z Southern States $x Historiography. 650 0 $a African American families $x Genealogy. 650 7 $a African American families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799152 650 7 $a African American women $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799467 650 7 $a African Americans $x Historiography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799622 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 651 7 $a Southern States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244550 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Family histories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919924 655 7 $a Family histories. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a West, Elizabeth J. $t Finding Francis $d Columbia, South Carolina : The University of South Carolina Press, [2022] $z 9781643363585 $w (DLC) 2022037206 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024517.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=17D51008253111EE91433F782CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
