Tales from the Haunted South: Dark Tourism and Memories of Slavery from the Civil War Era



In this book Tiya Miles explores the popular yet troubling phenomenon of "ghost tours," frequently promoted and experienced at plantations, urban manor homes, and cemeteries throughout the South. As a staple of the tours, guides entertain paying customers by routinely relying on stories of enslaved black specters. But who are these ghosts? Examining popular sites and stories from these tours, Miles shows that haunted tales routinely appropriate and skew African American history to produce representations of slavery for commercial gain. "Dark tourism" often highlights the most sensationalist and macabre aspects of slavery, from salacious sexual ties between white masters and black women slaves to the physical abuse and torture of black bodies to the supposedly exotic nature of African spiritual practices. Because the realities of slavery are largely absent from these tours, Miles reveals how they continue to feed problematic "Old South" narratives and erase the hard truths of the Civil War era. In an incisive and engaging work, Miles uses these troubling cases to shine light on how we feel about the Civil War and race, and how the ghosts of the past are still with us.

@StillStanding: Max reps, buddy. Thanks for the PDF! I'm originally from New Orleans so I instantly gravitated to the 3rd Chapter: Chloe and Cleo - Louisiana Plantation Phantoms.

Can't wait to get all wrapped up in this book!

I am was born and raised in the South where there were plantations all around me, along with lots of stories about haunted houses! I have visited the Myrtles in St. Francisville, Louisiana several times and taken a tour of this plantation home. It is known as one of the most haunted homes in America. But one thing I do know, they serve the best shrimp po'boys and the best iced tea I have ever tasted in their restaurant located on the property! +5 reps added.
