Containing an urgently needed archival database of historical evidence this volume includes both a consolidated presentation of the documentary records of black people in Tudor and Stuart England and an interpretive narrative that confirms and significantly extends the insights of current theoretical excursus on race in early modern England. The systematic chronological descriptive index combined with the interpretive scholarship provides a strong framework from which future historical debates on race in early modern England can proceed.
