Abstract
This paper reviews the relatively scant historiography of children in slavery in the New World, notably in the Anglophone Caribbean and North America. It concentrates on select themes, including the definitions of child and slave, enslavement and transport of children, the different demand and price structures for child slaves in the New World, the labour and health of child slaves, their relationships to the slave-owning and adult slave communities, their culture and education, and finally the possibilities for child slave agency.
