Escaping Servitude is the story of indentured servants in early Virginia protesting with their feet. Breaking with historical orthodoxy insisting that Bacon’s Rebellion marked the death knell of white labor in the Chesapeake and that colonial Virginians achieved racial hegemony in the eighteenth century, Escaping Servitude debunks the myth of the benign institution and the sentimentalized, content servant and reveals revolt and day-to-day resistance.
