Archaeology Talk: Slavery & Health Practices in 19th Century Virginia
Time: 6:00 pm til 7:00 pm
Location: Selby Library, 1331 First St., Sarasota 34236
Description: Time Sifters Archaeological Society Speaker Program - Slavery and Health Practices in Nineteenth Century Virginia by Lori Lee, Assistant Professor of Anthropology, Flagler College
Health consumerism in the modern sense speaks to patients’ involvement in their own health care decisions. How does this concept apply to enslaved laborers in the antebellum South? Anthropologist Lori Lee’s study of enslaved African Americans in central Virginia looks at the degree of access they had to resources that shaped their health and well-being experiences. The nature of health and illness is multilayered. It is influenced by an individual’s personal experience with their physical body, including their mind; by how the body is socially represented in various symbolic and metaphorical forms; and by regulation, surveillance, and control of one’s reproduction and sexuality, work and leisure, and sickness. Lee’s presentation uses this multilayered approach to explore practices of health and healthcare among the enslaved laborers in the antebellum South.
