From Curaçao to Coro

Drawing on a detailed 1775 runaway register and colonial correspondence, the article reconstructs who fled, how they escaped, and…

In this article, kinship ties in the manumission process in eighteenth-century Suriname are researched through a single case study: the manumissions by the prominent Surinamese slaveholders Nicol…
