520 8  "Historians have written expansively about the slave 
       economy and its vital role in early American economic 
       life. Like their northern neighbors, Rhode Islanders 
       bought and sold slaves and supplies that sustained 
       plantations throughout the Americas; however, nowhere else
       was this business so important. During the colonial period
       trade with West Indian planters provided Rhode Islanders 
       with molasses, the key ingredient for their number one 
       export: rum. More than 60 percent of all the slave ships 
       that left North America left from Rhode Island. During the
       antebellum period Rhode Islanders were the leading 
       producers of "negro cloth," a coarse wool-cotton material 
       made especially for enslaved blacks in the American South.
       Clark-Pujara draws on the documents of the state, the 
       business, organizational, and personal records of their 
       enslavers, and the few first-hand accounts left by 
       enslaved and free black Rhode Islanders to reconstruct 
       their lived experiences. The business of slavery 
       encouraged slaveholding, slowed emancipation and led to 
       circumscribed black freedom. Enslaved and free black 
       people pushed back against their bondage and the 
       restrictions placed on their freedom. It is convenient, 
       especially for northerners, to think of slavery as 
       southern institution. The erasure or marginalization of 
       the northern black experience and the centrality of the 
       business of slavery to the northern economy allows for a 
       dangerous fiction--that North has no history of racism to 
       overcome. But we cannot afford such a delusion if we are 
       to truly reconcile with our past." --publisher 
       description.
