A thoughtful history which makes good use of the abundant new scholarship on the English-speaking settlements of the Americas. Covers the link between Europe, Africa, and the Americas; why slavery came about; types of labor; domination and control; color, race, and subjugation; men and women; the culture of resistance; cultivating independence; ending slavery; and freedom and varieties of slavery.
