Virtual Book Talk: Black Lives, Native Lands, White Worlds by Jared Hardesty

Professor Jared Ross Hardesty will discuss his book Black Lives, Native Lands, White Worlds, which tells the individual stories of enslaved people in New England, bringing their experiences to life. He also explores larger issues such as the importance of slavery to the colonization of the region and to agriculture and industry, New England’s deep connections to Caribbean plantation societies, and the significance of emancipation movements in the era of the American Revolution.

Join us for Professor Hardesty's book talk, followed by a Q&A.
