Quite an excellent look at Revolutionary-era runaway slaves and their trials and tribulations after Yorktown. Pybus has done very good work here in reconstructing lives of folks whose lives are notoriously tricky to reconstruct, and in placing them in their own difficult post-Revolutionary contexts and settings, whether London, Nova Scotia, Sierra Leone, or even Australia. Great research, put to very good use. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

During the American Revolution, thousands of slaves fled their masters to find freedom with the British. Having emancipated themselves--and with the rhetoric about the inalienable rights of free men ringing in their ears--these men and women struggled tenaciously to make liberty a reality in their own lives.
