Captive City explores the paths of slavery in coastal cities, arguing that captivity haunts the “hospitality†cultures of Charleston, New Orleans, Savannah, and Baltimore. Lightweis-Goff offers a cultural exploration bound by American literature, as well as compelling reassessments of works by canonical writers such as Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs.
