Lived Experiences of Enslaved Peoples in the Hudson Valley
In her presentation, Mosterman will explore the history of slavery and resistance in Dutch New York, with special attention to Kinderhook and surroundings. Through examination of Dutch American homes, Dutch Reformed churches, and public spaces in these predominantly Dutch American communities, she shows how Dutch American enslavers increasingly used their dominance over these spaces to control the people they enslaved, while enslaved people resisted such control by escaping or modifying these spaces and expanding their mobility and activities within them. Such close analysis of enslavement in these spaces reveals that by the mid-eighteenth-century slavery in New York was an advanced system of violence and control that had much in common with that of slave societies in the plantation South.
