Summary:

'Spaces of Enslavement' addresses the persistent myth that the colonial Dutch system of slavery was more humane. Investigating practices of enslavement in New Netherland and then in New York, the book shows that these ways of racialized spatial control held much in common with the southern plantation societies.

Contents:

Introduction: a spatial analysis of slavery in New York

Enslaved labor and the settling of New Netherland

The geography of slave life in New Netherland

Control and resistance in the public space

Enslavement and the dual nature of the home

Slavery and social power in Dutch reformed churches

Conclusion: a more benign system of slavery?
