Publisher's Synopsis

This work challenges many of the accepted 'truths' about African-American history, including the assumption that the phrase '19th-century black Americans' means enslaved people, that 'New York state before the Civil War' refers to a place of freedom, and that black elite did not exist until the 20th century.
