When Remembering Slavery was first published 15 years ago, this startling (and bestselling) first-person account of slavery was heralded as ' powerful and intense' (Atlanta Journal Constitution) and ' invaluable' (Chicago Tribune). Drawing from the thousands of interviews conducted with ex-slaves in the 1930s by researchers working with the Federal Writers' Project, this astonishing collection makes available the only known recordings of people who lived through the enormity of slavery.
Praise for Remembering Slavery: "Gripping and poignant. . . . Moving recollections fill a void in the slavery literature. " --The Washington Post Book World "Ira Berlin' s fifty-page introduction is as good a synthesis of current scholarship as one will find, with fresh insights for any reader. " --The San Diego Union-Tribune "Invaluable. " --Chicago Tribune "Chilling [and] riveting. . . . This project will enrich every American home and classroom. " --Publishers Weekly "Moving recollections fill a void in the slavery literature. " --The Washington Post "Quite literally, history comes alive in this unparalleled work. " --Library Journal
