I read this book for a class and it is the best of the academic writings we've read. Johnson's attention to detail makes her discussions of Colonial law clear and compelling. It is also refreshing to focus on enslaved women's practices of freedom in the face of the brutality they experienced. It was illuminating in helping to understand some elements of how we got where we are today, which is why I am taking this history course.
