    • Abstract:
      This article is a rumination on the genre of the runaway slave advertisement concentrating for the most part on New York in the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-centuries. In it I consider such topics as slave hairstyles, damage to slave bodies and how freedom was negotiated as slavery ended. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
