Karen Cook Bell's enlightening and original contribution to the study of slave resistance in eighteenth-century America explores the individual and collective lives of these women and girls of diverse circumstances, while also providing details about what led them to escape. She demonstrates that there were in fact two wars being waged during the Revolutionary Era: a political revolution for independence from Great Britain and a social revolution for emancipation and equality in which Black women played an active role. Running from Bondage broadens and complicates how we study and teach this momentous event, one that emphasizes the chances taken by these "Black founding mothers" and the important contributions they made to the cause of liberty"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Enslaved Women's Fugitivity -- "A Negro Wench Named Lucia": Enslaved Women during the Eighteenth Century -- "A Mulatto Woman Named Margaret": Pre-Revolutionary Fugitive Women -- "A Well Dressed Woman Named Jenny": Revolutionary Black Women, 1776-1781 -- "A Negro Woman Called Bett": Overcoming Obstacles to Freedom in Post-Revolutionary America -- Confronting the Power Structures: Marronage and Black Women's Fugitivity. 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 650 0 $a Women slaves $z United States $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Fugitive slaves $z United States $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Slavery $z United States $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Women slaves $z United States $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Slaves $z United States $x Social conditions. 650 7 $a African Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799558 650 7 $a Fugitive slaves. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00935940 650 7 $a Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00972484 650 7 $a Slavery. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120426 650 7 $a Slaves $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120577 650 7 $a Women slaves. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178532 650 7 $a Women slaves $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178536 651 0 $a United States $x African Americans. $y Revolution, 1775-1783 $x African Americans. 651 0 $a United States $x Influence. $y Revolution, 1775-1783 $x Influence. 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Cook Bell, Karen, $t Running from bondage $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2021 $z 9781108917551 $w (DLC) 2021024703 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030721.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9D4D4D0AFFE911EBB6EAFDEE22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
