Google Preview: In "Slavery and Servitude in Colonial North America", Kenneth Morgan shows how the institutions of indentured servitude and black slavery interacted in the 17th and 18th centuries. He covers all aspects of the two labour systems, including their impact on the economy, on racial attitudes, social structures and on regional variations within the colonies. Throughout, overriding themes emerge: the labour market in North America, the significance of racial distinctions, supply and demand factors in transatlantic migration and labour, and resistance to bondage. This is an introduction to an area that is crucial for understanding not just Colonial American society but also the later development of the United States.; Kenneth Morgan is Professor of History at Brunel University.; A beautifully written and profoundlysensitive exploration of the meaning of ministry as labor and calling. It stands not only as a highly original empirical treatment of the Church of God in Christ, but as an important theoretical statement in the sociologies of religion and professions. *Stutter and a Stick* will be read and discussed for many years to come.-Omar McRoberts, In an educational credentialing world, Richard Pitt takes us deep into an alternative reality--clergy by calling and anointing. A riveting read, this is serious social science that enlightens as it engages.-Michael O. Emerson,; Google Preview content
