Through a mosaic of intimate portraits, Prof. Connolly offers a history of migration, real estate, and shifting family fortunes in the twentieth-century Atlantic World.  “What’s Yours is Mine” details how state-practice segregation, land grabbing, and colonialism give capitalism its racial meaning.  It also details how the big and rarely discernible forces shaping people's lives and possibilities usually only become known to us through family narratives about “success,” “failure,” and the individual decisions of imperfect people.
