Fugitive Slaves and Spaces of Freedom in North America - Paperback

by Damian Alan Pargas (Editor)

This volume introduces a new way to study the experiences of runaway slaves by defining different "spaces of freedom" that fugitive slaves inhabited. It also provides a groundbreaking continental view of fugitive slave migration, moving beyond the usual regional or national approaches to explore locations in Canada, the U.S. South, Mexico, and the Caribbean.
