Susanah Shaw Romney, Assistant Professor of History, University of Arkansas, Little Rock
Don't miss this fascinating talk about the real women and men, soldies, sailors, settles, Native Americans, and enslaved Africans who drew on kin and social relationships to build new lives in the Dutch colony of New Netherland. Sharing vivid stories from her recently published, award-winning book, Professor Romney will introduce us to some of the little known people who built these intimate networks as they struggled to survived, resist, or profit from the new connections linking the New World to the Old.
