Yuletide in Dixie: Slavery, Christmas, and Southern Memory

Robert E. May

Yuletide in Dixie: Slavery, Christmas, and Southern Memory

How did enslaved African Americans in the Old South really experience Christmas? In this provocative, revisionist, and sometimes chilling account, Robert E. May chides the conventional wisdom for simplifying black perspectives, uncritically accepting southern white literary tropes about the holiday.
