In Between Slavery and Freedom, Julie Winch explores one of the central ironies of racial dynamics in this nation's history from the colonial era to the end of the Civil War. The existence of a class of free people of African descent contradicted the notion that only people of unmixed European ancestry were "free" and that all black people were - and indeed should be - held in bondage. The hold of these men and women on freedom, sometimes firm, sometimes tenuous, had profound implications for race relations in America and for the survival of the "peculiar institution." Winch's accessible, concise, and jargon-free book, including primary sources and the latest scholarship, will benefit undergraduate students of American history and general readers alike by allowing them to judge the evidence for themselves and evaluate the authors' conclusions.
