With profound insight and deep research, Fugitivism is a brilliant and comprehensive analysis of the role of escaped slaves in Louisiana and the Lower Mississippi Valley. It reveals complexities and nuances of the common practice of 'running away' and demonstrates how the violence of capture and punishment shaped the national discourse on slavery, freedom, and abolition. Bolton's book is exquisitely researched and thought-provoking in its account of the diverse experiences of fugitive slaves and their impact on the South and the nation. --Urmi Engineer Willoughby, author of Yellow Fever, Race, and Ecology in Nineteenth-Century New Orleans
