My dissertation explores the lived experiences of enslaved Black survivors of forced migration to Louisiana during the first half of the nineteenth century. Historians estimate that white enslavers forcibly migrated two million enslaved people during those years, half of whom slave traders transported via an interstate domestic slave trade. I outline some of the social and cultural consequences of this forced migration,  and I argue that these consequences are best understood within the framework of a remade African America.
