Less well known, however, is the relationship between Jesuit higher education and slavery. For more than two hundred years, Jesuit colleges and seminaries in the United States supported themselves on the labor of the enslaved. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet Us Go Free\u201d tells the complex stories of the free and enslaved people associated with these Catholic institutions. Walker Gollar shows that, in spite of their Catholic faith, Jesuits were in most respects very typical slaveholders. At times, they may have been concerned with the spiritual and physical well-being of the enslaved, but mostly they were concerned with the finances of their plantations and farms. Gollar traces the legacies of the Jesuits\u2019 participation in the slaveholding economy, portrays the experiences of those enslaved by the Jesuits, and shares the Jesuits\u2019 attempts to come to terms with their history.<\/p>\n<p>Deeply based on original research in Jesuit archives, \u201cLet Us Go Free\u201d provides a vivid and disquieting narrative of Jesuit slaveholding for the general reader interested in the historical relationship between slavery and universities in the United States.<\/p>\n<p> Publisher                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    Georgetown University Press (December 1, 2023)   <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    English   <br \/> Paperback                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    416 pages   <br \/> ISBN-10                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    1647123860   <br \/> ISBN-13                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    978-1647123864   <br \/> Item Weight                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    1.25 pounds   <br \/> Dimensions                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    6.25 x 0.75 x 9.25 inches   <\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> A vivid and disquieting narrative of Jesuit slaveholding and its historical relationship with Jesuit universities in the United States The Society of Jesus, commonly known as the Jesuits, is renowned for the quality of the order\u2019s impact on higher education.
