This important book sheds light on more than 1,400 brief life
histories of mostly enslaved Black people, with the goal of
recovering their individual lives. Harvey Amani Whitfield unearths
the stories of men, women, and children who would not otherwise
have found their way into written history. The individuals
mentioned come from various points of origin, including Africa, the
West Indies, the Carolinas, the Chesapeake, and the northern
states, showcasing the remarkable range of the Black experience in
the Atlantic world. Whitfield makes it clear that these enslaved
Black people had likes, dislikes, distinct personality traits, and
different levels of physical, spiritual, and intellectual talent.
Biographical Dictionary of Enslaved Black People in the Maritimes
affirms the notion that they were all unique individuals, despite
the efforts of their owners and the wider Atlantic world to
dehumanize and erase them.
