Unfreedom: Slavery and Dependence in Eighteenth-Century Boston

byJared Ross Hardesty

In Unfreedom, Jared Ross Hardesty presents a historical account centered on slavery and Dependence in Eighteenth-Century Boston. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the connected fields of history and social science. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning. The approach makes a specialized subject understandable without stripping away its tensions or ambiguity.
