Reviews

Bouton has streamlined the discussion about slavery and power and placed it into a much-needed context of violence and honor, offering a better way to understand the complexities of slavery and why slaves either resisted physical punishment or endured it. Easily digestible by all levels of readership, Setting Slavery’s Limits is a great addition to the scholarship on African slavery in the United States. -- Matthew A. Byron, Young Harris College
