About This Book

Die Autorin schildert eine ausgedehnte Reise durch die Vereinigten Staaten und angrenzende Regionen, berichtet von Dampferfahrten auf dem Mississippi, dem Leben in New Orleans und auf Plantagen sowie von öffentlichen Sklavenversteigerungen und der Behandlung versklavter und freier Schwarzer. Sie beschreibt Städte, Eisenbahnen, Häfen und Hotels, die Großen Seen und die Wasserfälle sowie Begegnungen mit indigenen Gruppen und religiösen Gemeinschaften. Reiseeindrücke verbinden Landschafts- und Infrastrukturbeobachtungen mit sozialen und juristischen Kommentaren, alltagsnahen Schilderungen und kritischen Reflexionen über Ungleichheit und Sitten der bereisten Orte.
