Focusing on the development of a single African American community in eastern New Jersey, Hodges examines the experience of slavery and freedom in the rural north. This unique social history addresses many long held assumptions about the experience of slavery and emancipation outside the south. For example, by tracing the process by which whites maintained "a durable architecture of oppression" and a rigid racial hierarchy, it challenges the notions that slavery was milder and that racial boundaries were more permeable in the north. Monmouth County, New Jersey, because of its rich African American heritage and equally well-preserved historical record, provides an outstanding opportunity to study the rural life of an entire community over the course of two centuries. Hodges weaves an intricate pattern of life and death, work and worship, from the earliest settlement to the end of the Civil War.

"This work is organized into eight separate sections that reflect my eight great-grandparents. When I began genealogical research, I discovered a unique situation, that all eight great-grandparents had arrived at Liberty, Nebraska, between 1865-1885. This work is the outgrowth of the attempt to trace each of them back to the original immigrants to these shores"--p. IV.
