Nantucket's People of Color is a fascinating study of Nantucket's
African population from historical, cultural, and racial
perspectives. While most other Africans were sold into slavery and
bondage, the African-Americans and Cape Verdeans on Nantucket
worked as free people and established communities and institutions
such as schools and churches. This anthology examines the
relationships that developed between Africans, Quakers, others of
European descent, and Cape Verdeans on Nantucket and the events and
controversies that both united and divided the larger community
along 'racial' lines. This anthology is the culmination of more
than ten years of scholarly research on the culture and history of
Nantucket Island by James Bradford Ames Scholars. The James
Bradford Ames Fellowship Program was established at the University
of Massachusetts Boston to foster research into the history and
culture of African-Americans and Cape Verdeans on Nantucket.
