This innovative history of the Okefenokee Swamp reveals it as a place where harsh realities clashed with optimism, shaping the borderland culture of southern Georgia and northern Florida for over two hundred years.

From the formation of the Georgia colony in 1732 to the end of the Great Depression, the Okefenokee Swamp was a site of conflict between divergent local communities. Coining the term "ecolocalism" to describe how local cultures form out of ecosystems and in relation to other communities, Megan Kate Nelson offers a new view of the Okefenokee, its inhabitants, and its rich and telling record of thwarted ambitions, unintended consequences, and unresolved questions.

The Okefenokee is simultaneously terrestrial and aquatic, beautiful and terrifying, fertile and barren. This peculiar ecology created discord as human groups attempted to overlay firm lines of race, gender, and class on an area of inherent ambiguity and blurred margins. Rice planters, slaves, fugitive slaves, Seminoles, surveyors, timber barons, Swampers, and scientists came to the swamp with dreams of wealth, freedom, and status that conflicted in varied and complex ways. Ecolocalism emerged out of these conflicts between communities within the Okefenokee and other borderland swamps.

Nelson narrates the fluctuations, disconnections, and confrontations embedded in the muck of the swamp and the mire of its disorderly history, and she reminds us that it is out of such places of intermingling and uncertainty that cultures are forged.

Wallet
Pretty nice wallet, good quality and little small if you have a lot of cards or cash, unfortunately there isn’t a I’d holder where it flips down so you have to dig it out of your pocket.

Sleek, Stylish, and Functional
Size: One Size, Color: Black/Neon Yellow
I recently purchased this Calvin Klein wallet, and it absolutely lives up to the brand's reputation for quality and style. The leather is smooth, soft, and has a clean, professional finish. You can tell it’s made from quality materials. Fits easily in my pocket without being bulky, even with multiple cards and some cash. Plenty of card slots, a clear ID window, and a well-designed bill compartment. Everything is easy to access. The CK logo is subtle but classy—not too flashy, just the right touch of elegance.
