| Abstract
|
:
|
"An innovative study that compares the experiences of persons of African origin and descent in the towns of Baltimore and Sabara, Black Townsmen reconsiders their relationship to eighteenth-century urban environments in the Americas. Following Africans and their descendants through their struggle with slavery, manumission, and life in freedom, Mariana L. R. Dantas explains how these men and women's efforts and choices helped to define the trajectory of these two towns. The picture that emerges is one in which slaves and their free descendants are in the foreground of Atlantic urban slavery and freedom."--BOOK JACKET.
