Edited by Paul E. Lovejoy. Identity in the Shadow of Slavery addresses the issues relating to the gender, ethnic, and cultural factors affecting the ways in which enslaved Africans and their descendants interpreted their lives under slavery and thereby created communities with a shared sense of identity. In this revised edition, the authors examine how identities were formulated under slavery and the ways in which the struggle to escape slavery and its legacy continued, after abolition, to affect the lives of descendants of slaves. The introductory essay explores an approach to the study of the African Diaspora that looks outward from Africa and places the following chapters, written by leading authorities from Europe, North America and South America, in the context of the theoretical literature.
