Abstract
Abstract:
Starting from Igbo Landing, site of an 1803 slave rebellion off coastal Georgia, this article compares written and folkloric accounts to question the status of the archive in early American studies. Ongoing stories of the Flying African, linked to the site, suggest space rather than time or periodization as the most useful rubric for framing early Americanist studies today.
