Sinossi
02 "Slavery" and "freedom" were fluid and contested concepts in the strongly hierarchical, highly mobile Atlantic world. In the Spanish, Portuguese, French, and English empires in the Americas, individuals and groups turned to courts of law to define and implement various types of status for indigenous Americans, forcibly imported Africans, and colonizing Europeans - and their progeny. In particular, in the era of revolution, independence, and emancipation in the north Atlantic - ca. 1700-1900 - legal institutions of the state manufactured and mediated a new, dynamic concept of freedom. Simultaneously - and once again, the legal codes of France and the United States played important roles - categories of race were invented, and white privilege was codified. Peabody and Grinberg introduce the voices of slaves, slave-holders, jurists, legislators, and others, as they struggle to critique, overturn, justify, or simply describe the social order in which they are embedded. Sensitive translations, discussion questions, illustrations, a glossary and bibliography allow students to analyze these rich documents, and discern their influences on our lives today.
