520    "Nearly four centuries have passed since the first group 
       of Africans arrived in colonial Massachusetts but the 
       impact made by African descendants on security and public 
       safety in New England during various colonial wars remains
       unexplored. African Descendants in Colonial America: 
       Impact on the Preservation of Peace, Security, and Safety 
       in New England, analyzes the roles played by African 
       Americans, alongside whites, in the defense of New 
       England's territorial integrity against colonial powers. 
       Additionally, the book examines agencies of social control
       within the African community in the region. The book 
       responds to a series of questions, such as: Whether 
       African Americans were permitted to participate in the 
       preservation of peace, security, and safety in colonial 
       New England, whether colonial officials allowed them to 
       build internal institutions of social control for their 
       own welfare, and whether they held elective or appointive 
       positions in colonial New England. The study relies on 
       archival data sourced from the collections of the 
       Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut Historical 
       Societies, as well as on documents held in various local 
       libraries in New England.-Lievin K. Mboma" (From the book
