National Book Critics Circle Award Winner. This groundbreaking book tells the first global history of the sixty thousand American loyalists who fled the United States after the Revolution, becoming refugees across the British Empire. Liberty’s Exiles follows their journeys to Canada, the Caribbean, Sierra Leone, India, and beyond.

Maya Jasanoff traces the lives of figures such as Elizabeth Johnston, black loyalist David George, and Mohawk leader Joseph Brant to reveal how the Revolution’s “losers” shaped the modern world. Ambitious, deeply researched, and elegantly written, the book redefines how we understand the American Revolution and its aftermath.

This work is featured in a major exhibition at the Museum of the City of New York marking the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution—an immersive, museum-wide exploration of revolutionary-era New York and the enduring consequences of civic choice.
