Escaping Servitude

A Documentary History of Runaway Servants in Eighteenth-Century Virginia

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Breaking with historical orthodoxy that claims Bacon's Rebellion marked the death knell of white labor in the Chesapeake and that colonial Virginians achieved racial hegemony in the eighteenth century, Escaping Servitude debunks the myth of the benign institution and the sentimentalized, content servant and reveals revolt and day-to-day resistance.
