Emily Rose and the first Africans in British North America

  Emily Rose and the first Africans in British North America I was reading James Horn’s book, 1619 Jamestown and the Forging of American Democracy, published in 2018, two days ago when I came across his footnote 4 in Chapter 3 of his work. The last work he cited was “E.M.Rose, “The Conflicted Politics of Slavery: The First Africans in British North America,” which was due to appear in Virginia 1619 , edited by Paul Musselwhite, James Horn and Peter Mancall. But, if one turns to the work in question, which was published in 2019, no such essay can be found there. There is no explanation for this omission which, in fairness to Emily Rose and prospective readers of the latter volume, might have been expected.
