remains Maguire’s dominant structure for understanding African labor and identities in East Anglia for the entirety of 1467 to 1833. Chapter 5 exposes the Atlantic connections, analyzes baptismal customs, and looks at six slaving voyages involving the region and connecting to the slave port of Liverpool. Chapters 7 and 8 look at a deeply contested historiography by asserting slavery came before racialization and that Africans were more a part of the working poor in the region than majority enslaved. Africans in East Anglia is highly empirical reading that looks at individuals whose lives “contained the opportunity, even for the ones who had been previously enslaved . . . to be remembered as part of the region’s working population” (199). It is a dry work in that respect, but not to a fault, as this project of reclamation needs a tone of rigor due to the importance of the recovery. As such, this work will become a standard reading for anyone researching slavery, labor, and African populations in East Anglia, as well as providing methods for understanding a more local background of African populations in Britain during the early modern era.

conflicting directions, generating unruly charismatic experiences and eschatological protest alongside templates for spiritual authority and communal order. Indeed, “the development of seventeenth-century Quakerism cannot be characterized in terms of a straightforward, linear progression toward social respectability” (55). Given the wide-ranging implications of this task, where then might this work sit in the burgeoning discipline of Quaker studies? John Maynard Keynes once wisely observed: “The difficulty lies not so much in developing new ideas as in escaping from old ones” (cited in Mario Tronti, Workers and Capital [2019], 309). Herein lies the value of Pennington’s project for a new generation of scholars. In its abject refusal to contain early Friends within tiresome conceptual straitjackets (either as unknowing capitalist moderns or failed spiritual revolutionaries), new questions can be asked of the historical evidence. Instead of preempting what might be found, Pennington delights in the sheer complexity of her subject, finding in early Quakers “a dynamic faith in a constantly changing situation” (125). From this vantage point, one can forge a new case for the endurance and coherence of early Quaker theological culture, despite substantial transformations of presentation, emphasis, and strategy. With its invigorating irreverence toward stale polarities and tired debates, and its willingness to break new ground, this work will be invaluable not merely to scholars of Quakerism but to early modern historians, religious studies specialists, and theologians.
