Review Quotes: "As intimate a picture of African slavery in British America as we are ever likely to get. . . . An important moment in our efforts to understand the character of slavery in the British colonial world. . . . A remarkably rich and full picture of white-slave relations."--Zadie Smith, New York Review of Books
