So central was labour in the lives of African-American slaves that it has often been taken for granted; with little attention given to the type of work that slaves did and the circumstances surrounding it. Cultivation and Culture brings together essays by leading scholars of slavery - historians; anthropologists and sociologists - to explore when; where and how slaves laboured in growing the New World's great staples and how this work shaped the institution of slavery and the lives of African-American slaves.
