Recensioner i media

Williams has relied on his thorough familiarity with manuscript resources in Delaware to provide readers with a developmental narrative of how slavery and freedom evolved in Delaware, and how the evolution of both affected blacks, whites, and their relationship with one another. Throughout, his authorial voice is moderate, his analysis is anchored in evidence, and his engagement in historiographical controversy is selective but nevertheless interesting and well considered.
