Monday, September 28, 2:00-3:30 EST
Join the Slavery + Freedom Studies Working Group at the Rutgers CCA for a virtual book talk with Dr. Jessica M. Johnson (Assistant Professor, History Department, Johns Hopkins University) on her new groundbreaking book, Wicked Flesh: Black Women, Intimacy, and Freedom in the Atlantic World (Penn, 2020). In Wicked Flesh, Johnson draws on archival documents scattered in institutions across three continents, written in multiple languages and largely from the perspective of colonial officials and slave-owning men, to recreate black women's experiences from coastal Senegal to French Saint-Domingue to Spanish Cuba to the swampy outposts of the Gulf Coast.
