This article is the first publication from a digital history project on the self-liberation of enslaved Africans during the late-19th and early-20th centuries. The project, jointly directed by researchers at Hamilton College, Stanford University, and the Institut d'Etudes Avancées (Saint-Louis, Senegal), aims to use colonial sources and digital methods to generate insights into the social history and historical agency of enslaved Africans.
