SUMMARY:Book Talk with Melvin Patrick Ely | A Terrible Intimacy
DESCRIPTION:Join historian Melvin Patrick Ely\, Ph.D.\, for a 
 thought-provoking program exploring his new book\, “A Terrible Intimacy: 
 Interracial Life in the Slaveholding South.” In his book\, Ely explores 
 six criminal cases in one Virginia county in the years preceding the Civil 
 War. Witnesses of both races describe a startling variety of encounters 
 between white and Black people that reconfigure the binary terrain of 
 “master-slave” relations.\n\n Ely is the author of “Israel on the 
 Appomattox: A Southern Experiment in Black Freedom from the 1790s Through 
 the Civil War\,” which won the Bancroft\, Beveridge and Wesley-Long 
 prizes\, and “The Adventures of Amos ‘n’ Andy: A Social History of an 
 American Phenomenon.” He’s a co-author of “Un/Bound: Free Black 
 Virginians\, 1619-1865.” A retired William & Mary history professor\, Ely 
 previously taught history and American studies at Yale.\n\nA book signing 
 will follow the program.\n\nThis is a free event\, but registration is 
 required. Seating in the Lecture Hall is available on a first-come\, 
 first-served basis. Limited free parking is available in the deck 
 underneath the Library at 800 East Broad Street. For more information\,
