Symbols of Division: Plantations along South Carolina's Coast
As social barriers between classes increase in the United States, settlements reifying these barriers also increase. Along South Carolina's coast, (primarily) Euro-American upper-class retirees isolate themselves from the local (primarily) African-American population within gated communities often called “plantations.” The irony is not lost on locals. Using data from interviews and observations collected over the past decade, the article presents the sentiments of those inside and outside these new plantations. Questions are also raised about the social and cultural contexts, meanings, and consequences of gated communities.
