　　Pulitzer Prize Finalist

Anisfield-Wolf Award Winner

Over a frigid few weeks in the winter of 1741, ten fires blazed

across Manhattan. With each new fire, panicked whites saw more

evidence of a slave uprising. In the end, thirteen black men were

burned at the stake, seventeen were hanged and more than one

hundred black men and women were thrown into a dungeon beneath City

Hall.

In New York Burning, Bancroft Prize-winning historian Jill

Lepore recounts these dramatic events, re-creating, with

path-breaking research, the nascent New York of the seventeenth

century. Even then, the city was a rich mosaic of cultures,

communities and colors, with slaves making up a full one-fifth of

the population. Exploring the political and social climate of the

times, Lepore dramatically shows how, in a city rife with state

intrigue and terror, the threat of black rebellion united the white

political pluralities in a frenzy of racial fear and

violence.
