Enmeshed in the exploitative world of racial slavery, overseers
were central figures in the management of early American plantation
enterprises. All too frequently dismissed as brutal and
incompetent, they defy easy categorisation. Some were rogues, yet
others were highly skilled professionals, farmers, and artisans.
Some were themselves enslaved. They and their wives, with whom they
often formed supervisory partnerships, were caught between
disdainful planters and defiant enslaved labourers, as they sought
to advance their ambitions. Their history, revealed here in
unprecedented detail, illuminates the complex power struggles and
interplay of class and race in a volatile slave society.
