Chronicles Zephaniah Kingsley's evolving thoughts on race and slavery, exploring his business practices and his private life. Kingsley fathered children by several enslaved women, then freed and lived with them in a unique mixed-race family. One of the women—the only one he acknowledged as his "wife” though they were never formally married—was Anta Madgigine Ndiaye, a member of the Senegalese royal family, who was captured in a slave raid and purchased by Kingsley in Havana.
