Review Quotes

'Dantas's Black Townsmen is a well-researched book on the enslaved and free population of colour in Baltimore and Sabara in the long eighteenth century, and will be of great comparative use to researchers working on urban African-Americans in the Americas. - Silvia Espelt Bombin, Newcastle University
