Book Description
Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Citizens of the Town of Hingham: On the Twenty-Eighth of September, 1835, Being the Two Hundredth Anniversary of the Settlement of the Town We can never entirely divest ourselves of a regard for ancestry. A curiosity to know more of the past is ever impelling the human mind to trace, either by the lights of history, or tradition, the connecting links which bind us to remote generations of men. This curiosity is excited to still greater activity by the influence of strong local attachments. Especially when it unfolds to us those traits of character which are ornamental to human nature, we cherish this appetite for what wears the charm of antiquity, as a guide to valuable instruction and the purest delight. Respect for the dead - love of noble actions - the tender attachment to the place of our nativity harmonize with our best sensibilities. We love to indulge and cultivate them.

Book Description
What were the lives of Africans in provincial England like during the early modern period? How, where, and when did they arrive in rural counties? How were they perceived by their contemporaries? This book examines the population of Africans in Norfolk and Suffolk from 1467, the date of the first documented reference to an African in the region, to 1833, when Parliament voted to abolish slavery in the British Empire. It uncovers the complexity of these Africans' historical experience, considering the interaction of local custom, class structure, tradition, memory, and the gradual impact of the Atlantic slaving economy. Richard C. Maguire proposes that the initial regional response to arriving Africans during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries was not defined exclusively by ideas relating to skin colour, but rather by local understandings of religious status, class position, ideas about freedom and bondage, and immediate local circumstances. Arriving Africans were able to join the region's working population through baptism, marriage, parenthood, and work. This manner of response to Africans was challenged as local merchants and gentry begin doing business with the slaving economy from the mid-seventeenth century onwards. Although the racialised ideas underpinning Atlantic slavery changed the social circumstances of Africans in the region, the book suggests that they did not completely displace older, more inclusive, ideas in working communities.
