Borderlands of Slavery: The Struggle over Captivity and Peonage in the American Southwest (America in the Nineteenth Century)
A historical study of captivity, peonage, and the shifting boundaries of slavery in the nineteenth-century American Southwest.
About This Book
This book explores the complex systems of captivity and labor that persisted in the American Southwest after the formal abolition of slavery.
It investigates how peonage and other forms of unfree labor continued to shape regional economies and social relations throughout the nineteenth century.
The study situates these practices within broader national debates over freedom, citizenship, and the limits of emancipation.
