"Countering the misconception that slavery existed only on plantations, 'Slavery in the City' is the first volume to deal exclusively with the impact of North American slavery on urban design and city life during the antebellum period. From the back lots of nineteenth-century Charleston townhouses to movements of enslaved workers through the streets of a small Tennessee town, these essays highlight the diversity of the slave experience in the city and deeply enrich our understanding of American slavery and the built environment." --
