Minella, Timothy K. “The Enslaved Ants and the Peculiar Institution: Argument by Analogy in the Slavery Question.” Early American Studies, vol. 17, no. 2, 2019, pp. 256–80.

"The British translator of Huber’s book noted, “I shall take the liberty, when speaking of the dark Ash-coloured Ant, occasionally to use the appellation of Negro . . . a term not inapplicable, when we consider the dark colour of this species, and the situation it holds in the colony, of providing for and administering to, the wants, &c. of the Amazons.” Numerous publications on both sides of the Atlantic retold Huber’s astonishing discoveries, and several made the obvious comparison between the slavery of the ant and America’s “peculiar institution.”"
