Comments on the unabridged edition : A groundbreaking book ... provides a broad and rich sampling of documents recording the early modern voices of the African diaspora... Wills, testaments, letters, and historical chronicles are some of the sources that scholars from various disciplines present in this anthology... Each scholar provides a meticulous contextualization of the historical, social, cultural, and political circumstances surrounding the production of each document. The trilingual presentation allows the reader to see the rhetorical style of archival documents in the original language. Additionally, the maps ensure that students have a clear understanding of the geography and historical sites relevant to the range of texts included in the book. Margaret Olsen, Macalester College
