Description:
This book is an innovative comparative study of persons of African origin and descent in two urban environments of the early modern Atlantic world.  The author follows these men and women as they struggle with slavery, negotiations of manumission, and efforts to adapt to a life in freedom, ultimately illustrating how their choices and actions placed them at the foreground of the development of Atlantic urban slavery and emancipation.
