Examining government documents, runaway slave ads, and letters in both Dutch and English, Maskiell foregrounds the gaze of such captive peoples and argues for a reevaluation of the legacies and narratives of the Northeastern elites who held them in bondage"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes In English Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on July 27, 2022) Subject Slavery -- Northeastern States -- History -- 17th century Slavery -- Northeastern States -- History -- 18th century Slaveholders -- Northeastern States -- Social conditions -- 17th century Slaveholders -- Northeastern States -- Social conditions -- 18th century Slave trade -- Social aspects -- Northeastern States -- History -- 17th century Slave trade -- Social aspects -- Northeastern States -- History -- 18th century Enslaved persons -- Northeastern States -- Social conditions -- 17th century Enslaved persons -- Northeastern States -- Social conditions -- 18th century Black people -- Northeastern States -- Social conditions -- 17th century Black people -- Northeastern States -- Social conditions -- 18th century Elite (Social sciences) -- Northeastern States -- History -- 17th century Elite (Social sciences) -- Northeastern States -- History -- 18th century HISTORY / United States / State & Local / Middle Atlantic (DC, DE, MD, NJ, NY, PA).
