Slavery Studies Reading Group

Past Event

Friday, September 29, 2023 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM EDT
Virtual on Zoom

This reading group discusses recent books and articles involving slavery from different disciplinary and geographical perspectives. For each meeting, participants can either complete a monograph or a shorter reading (either a chapter or article) in case reading the book is unrealistic. Participants are always welcome to attend and discuss even if they have not completed any of these readings.

For this meeting, please read either Joshua Rothman, The Ledger and the Chain: How Domestic Slave Traders Shaped America OR Rothman, “The American Life of Jourdan Saunders, Slave Trader,” Journal of Southern History, Volume 88, Number 2, May 2022.
