The Cultural Legacy of Slavery: A Reflection on African American Identity and Family Heritage

In this conversation between Chris McAuley, Black Studies Collection Editor at Lived Places Publishing and Deirdre Foreman, author of My Cultural Legacy: Slave Culture and the American South, they explore the cultural legacy of enslaved Africans in the American South through an ethnoautobiographical reflection of Deirdre's own African American identity and family heritage. Through storytelling and personal narratives, she describes her family’s cultural practices and how they are directly rooted in those of the enslaved African on the Southern Plantation.

  • Deirdre Foreman, Adjunct Professor and Associate Director of the Educational Opportunity Fund at Ramapo College
