"TeresaMoyer's book serves as an important bridge between the work of history,archaeology and modern activism: it gives a structure of how to begin to changethe telling of the past."-- Anthropology Book Forum "Moyer'scase study of the historic house museum of Mount Clare plantation is a boldlyput, compelling call to action that embeds in its traditional siteinterpretation a more fully developed narrative of its black enslaved occupants.Her premise is that access to black heritage within the context of plantation lifeand its aftermath is a social right."-- Journal of American History "Inaddition to being a well-defined case study, this volume has wide implicationsfor the field of public history. Moyer does a fine job situating the history ofMount Clare within larger historical contexts, and, most importantly, shining alight on the social justice imperative of sharing more inclusive historicalnarratives."-- Public Historian "Thisvaluable book joins . other works calling for a more inclusive and justtackling of race at American historic sites."-- Journal of Southern History "Inthis well researched and pointedly critical book, Teresa S.

Moyer has broughtinto view a failure that affects many museums, particularly those of theSouthern United States, but also anywhere that slavery was part of America'seconomic base."-- Museum Anthropology Review "Amoving and meticulous black history at Mount Clare, and a thorough andconvincing analysis of the role of power in the production of history."-- AmericanAnthropologist.
