Description
Manhood Enslaved sheds light on the lives of three enslaved men in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century New Jersey, providing new insights into the experiences of bondpeople during this period.
The book challenges traditional views by examining previously overlooked literature about central New Jersey slaves, revealing the complex ways in which "slave manhood" shaped their daily lives under bondage.
By reinterpreting these sources, Kenneth E. Marshall offers a nuanced understanding of the social and historical context in which enslaved men lived and struggled for survival in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century America.
