Book Reception: Freedom's Captives by Yesenia Barragan

Join the Slavery + Freedom Studies Working Group to celebrate Dr. Yesenia Barragan’s new book, Freedom’s Captives: Slavery and Gradual Emancipation on the Colombian Black Pacific (Cambridge University Press, 2021). This reception will feature brief remarks from Dr. Camilla Townsend on the contributions of Freedom’s Captives. In addition to recognizing this new publication, we look forward to this event as an opportunity to gather together and socialize among our interdisciplinary group of scholars and graduate students in the working group and beyond.
