摘要

这一章探讨了被奴役的男人为养家糊口所做的努力，重点是那些为自己和家人购买或努力购买自由的男人。这一章的后半部分着眼于被奴役的人成为逃亡者，一些人做出了逃跑和离开亲人的痛苦决定，以及他们对自由后的家庭的评论。在失败和少数成功的案例中，前奴隶在寻求解放自我和家庭时的言语、选择和行动强调了亲属关系和奴隶社区对父亲责任的定义的中心地位。

This Great Object of My Life

This chapter explores enslaved men’s attempts to provide for their families, focusing on men who purchased or endeavored to purchase freedom for themselves and their family members. The second half of the chapter looks at enslaved men who became fugitives, the painful decision some made to run away and leave loved ones behind, and their commentary on family once free. In failure and in the infrequent cases of success, former slaves’ words, choices, and actions as they sought to free self and family underscored the centrality of kinship and slave communities’ definition of paternal duty.
