While the transition urban African Americans made from slavery to
freedom in the North has been the subject of much scholarship, the
experiences of their rural counterparts has remained largely
hidden. Focusing on the development of a single African American
community in eastern New Jersey, Professor Hodges examines the
experience of slavery and freedom in the rural North. This unique
social history addresses many long held assumptions about the
experience of slavery and emancipation outside the plantation
South. Hodges weaves an intricate pattern of life and death, work
and worship, from the earliest settlement to the end of the Civil
War.
