The Southern ConnectionTells the story of 23 surname families who were the Maryland ancestors of Eleanor Addison Smith Holliday who married James Bonsall Price in 1822. Most of them were tobacco plantation elites who controlled the political, economic, and social life of colonial Maryland.

Tells the story of 23 surname families who were the Maryland ancestors of Eleanor Addison Smith Holliday who married James Bonsall Price in 1822. Most of them were tobacco plantation elites who controlled the political, economic, and social life of colonial Maryland. They saw themselves as intensely honorable, the apex of cultivated, civilized men and women, all the while completely dependent upon an unspeakably brutal racist enslavement system. The book explores the English roots of some of the families, and follows the Holliday family to a 19th century Louisiana sugar plantation. An appendix traces the descendants of Eleanor and James. There are over 100 black and white illustrations, charts, maps, copious notes, and an index.

So helpful

This is a book that will help you think through the misappropriating of religion in most every aspect of life. I have learned so much from this work and believe that you will as well.

This kind of information make navigating the world a safer journey for all of us.

Thoughtful and honest
Format: Kindle
I am so glad I read this! I've heard the term "cultural appropriation" many more times than I can count, but I hadn't thought about it in the context of religion. Bucar's writing is so engaging, and the book is a great blend of narrative non-fiction and theory. I couldn't put it down! Highly recommend.

An important and interesting read; well written and researched
Format: Hardcover
The author uses personal experiences to illustrate and enliven the text. Ms. Bucar challenges us to look at our own reactions, thoughts and practices. I would recommend this book for discussion at my book club.

Not what I was hoping for
Format: Paperback
I've been interested in the topic of religious appropriation ever since I saw my non-Tibetan neighbor hang Tibetan prayer flags on his front porch. And when I lived in Japan, I saw that non-Christian Japanese appropriated all of the trappings of Western Christian wedding ceremonies. So I had high hopes for this book. But it reads like a very looooong, and also very academic sermon on the evils of capitalism, western hegemony, and other such terms. There is not an ounce of humor in any of this book.
