Reviews

In addition to being usable as an undergraduate reader Beyond Slavery has a reasonable claim to a place on the shelves of serious students anywhere of African diasporic experience in the New World.
*Hispanic American Historical Review*

The contributors have interpreted legacy in a variety of ways, producing a collection that is interesting and informative.
*Latin American Studies*

This collection is ambitious both in its scope and success in gathering together the work of an accomplished group of scholars. The book brings the breadth of historical literature on the African diaspora in Latin America to a general audience, but it is composed of works on relatively fresh topics. . . . As a whole, the collection reflects the diversity of blackness in Latin America and the Caribbean. . . . Recommended.
