Abstract

In this essay, Vanessa M. Holden foregrounds her experience working with her local community in an exploration of the use of the terms "slave" and "ensalved" in historical writing. She engages with primary material and historians' own careful public debate about both terms. An ongoing conversation in the feild of slavery scholarship accross multiple historical contexts, the two terms deserve to be approached with nuance and care for the lives of those held in bondage during the period of Atlantic slavery.
