Slaves in Paris: Hidden Lives and Fugitive Histories
Miranda Spieler
Mistaking Paris for a haven of freedom, slaves sought refuge there only to be hunted down, arrested, and deported. Through the biographies of enslaved people who came to Paris from Africa, the West Indies, and the Indian Ocean, Spieler’s study reveals the emergence of a new racialized legal culture in the last years of the Old Regime.
