“A remarkably insightful analysis of slavery in Dutch New York. Douma's research dispels many myths, including the thesis that slavery under the Dutch was somehow ‘mild'. This much-needed antidote will be indispensable to historians of slavery and Dutch New York alike.” Jaap Jacobs, author of The Colony of New Netherland: A Dutch Settlement in 17 th Century America.
