Fugitive Slave Advertisements in The City Gazette: Charleston,
South Carolina, 1787-1797 is a collection of more than one thousand
transcribed advertisements from Charleston's daily newspaper. Each
advertisement portrays, in miniature, a human drama of courage and
resistance to unjust authority. The advertisements give insight not
only into slave resistance, agency, and culture, but also into
eighteenth century material life, economy, and racial ideology. The
ads are also a rich source of data about the individual slaves
themselves, their relationships, family connections, and life
experiences. The book is accompanied by a website,
fugitiveslaves.com. The website allows users to search the results
of a comprehensive content analysis of the advertisements.
