In this groundbreaking book Andrew Sluyter demonstrates for the
first time that Africans played significant creative roles in
establishing open-range cattle ranching in the Americas. In so
doing, he provides a new way of looking at and studying the history
of land, labor, property, and commerce in the Atlantic world.
Sluyter shows that Africans' ideas and creativity helped to
establish a production system so fundamental to the environmental
and social relations of the American colonies that the consequences
persist to the present. He examines various methods of cattle
production, compares these methods to those used in Europe and the
Americas, and traces the networks of actors that linked that
Atlantic world. The use of archival documents, material culture
items, and ecological relationships between landscape elements make
this book a methodologically and substantively original
contribution to Atlantic, African-American, and agricultural
history.
