Zephaniah Kingsley Jr. and the Atlantic World

"An original and important contribution to the scholarship of Florida, the British Empire, the Caribbean, Africa, slavery and emancipation, the colonial United States, and the Atlantic world. Kingsley was a figure who moved through many worlds, and this meticulously researched work follows his many trails. It is the definitive biography on this fascinating character."--Jane Landers, author of "Atlantic Creoles in the Age of Revolutions" "The story is fascinating and shows the interconnections of the Atlantic world in all its complexities. Kingsley's philosophy challenged the usual views of slavery, race relations, and the murky ground between freedom and dependency."--Paul E. Lovejoy, author of "Transformations in Slavery"
