    Description of Somewhat More Independent: The End of Slavery in New York City, 1770-1810

    "White’s exact, well-written, and modulated monograph is the finest study to date of an important subject… . His book is an eloquent, unromantic account of the creativity and stamina of thousands of American slaves and ex-slaves whom historians have ignored for far too long."—"Journal of Interdisciplinary History"
