Review
"From Calabar to Carter's Grove highlights forces and experiences that shaped eighteenth-century black Virginians' lives in a tidewater slave community. Scholars of colonial North America and of American slavery will profit from it. By exemplifying a rarely discussed model of the relationship between academic history and attempts to speak to a broader public, the book should also interest those concerned about the place of rigorous scholarship in popular historical consciousness." - William and Mary Quarterly "Walsh's findings enrich our understanding of slavery... as she teases fascinating insights from a variety of sources which give more texture to the story. She also demonstrates how material culture and more traditional historical sources can be woven together to provide new insights into the past... Lorena Walsh has pointed to a different way of looking at and interpreting the past. All scholars interested in slavery should find her investigations useful and consider applying her findings as well as her analytical approach to their own work." - Public Historian "From Calabar to Carter's Grove is a lively and readable book that ranks among the most significant recent additions to the history of Virginians from Africa." - Virginia Magazine of History and Biography"
