“Do not forget to send the Negro”: Elite ties, enslaved lives in colonial Massachusetts and New York, 1660-1720

Dr. Maskiell is an expert on family and household relationships within slavery as well as on slave networks in both Dutch and English colonial Atlantic America. The author of “Elite Slave Networks in the Dutch Atlantic,” published in Shifting the Compass: Pluricontinental Connections in Dutch Colonial and Post Colonial Literature, (ed. Dewulf, Praamstra and van Kempen, forthcoming) she will talk to us about her current research.
This talk is made possible by support from the UCSB History Department, the UCSB Early Modern Studies Center, and the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center, as well as additional funds provided by Prof. John Majewski for development of early American history and slavery studies.
