Focusing on the development of a single African American community in eastern New Jersey, Professor Hodges examines the experience of slavery and freedom in the rural North. This unique social history addresses many long held assumptions about the experience of slavery and emancipation outside the plantation South. Hodges weaves an intricate pattern of life and death, work and worship, from the earliest settlement to the end of the Civil War.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGraham Russell Hodges\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of History at Colgate University in upstate New York.
