Harvey Amani Whitfield is a professor of Black North American history at the University of Calgary. Donald Wright is a professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of New Brunswick.
Whitfield's work, the result of a deep immersion in the existing record, confronts and transcends the limitations of its disparate sources, using individual entries to collect and interpret biographical information about the lives of 1,465 people enslaved in the Maritimes in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. -- Nina Reid-Maroney, Huron University College * <em>H-Net Reviews</em> *
