Early modern black diaspora studies: a critical anthology

'Early Modern Black Diaspora Studies' brings into conversation two fields - Early Modern Studies and Black Studies - that traditionally have had little to say to each other.

This disconnect is the product of current scholarly assumptions about a lack of archival evidence that limits what we can say about those of African descent before modernity.

This volume posits that the limitations are not in the archives, but in the methods we have constructed for locating and examining those archives.
