Neither Fugitive nor Free: Atlantic Slavery, Freedom Suits, and the Legal Culture of Travel - America and the Long 19th Century
Edlie L. Wong
Freedom suits involved those enslaved valets, nurses, and maids who accompanied slaveholders onto free soil. This book draws on the freedom suit as recorded in the press and court documents to offer a critically and historically engaged understanding of the freedom celebrated in the literary and cultural histories of transatlantic abolitionism.
