More About This Book

Overview

"A Best Book of the Year" —Library Journal and Booklist

Using excerpts from the thousands of interviews conducted with ex-slaves in the 1930s by researchers working with the Federal Writer's Project, this astonishing collection makes available in print the only known recordings of people who actually experienced slavery--recordings that had gathered dust in the Library of Congress until they were rendered audible for the first time specifically for this collection.

Heralded as "a minor miracle" (Ted Koppel, Nightline), "powerful and intense" (Atlanta Journal Constitution), and "invaluable" (Chicago Tribune), Remembering Slavery is sure to enrich readers for years to come.

"Gripping and poignant... Moving recollections fill a void in the slavery literature." —The Washington Post Book World

"Chilling [and] riveting... This project will enrich every American home and classroom." —Publisher's Weekly

"Quite literally, history comes alive in this unparalleled work." —Library Journal

"Ira Berlin's fifty-page introduction is as good a synthesis of current scholarship as one will find, filled with fresh insights for any reader." —The San Diego Union Tribune

    VERY GOOD READ (EDUCATIONAL)

    This book was awsome, however it was very very sad just to
    hear how people were treated back then.....it really is a tear jerker! I made my oldest son (17) read it and he came away with lots of questions and a very upset look on his face. I think every african american family should have a (TRUE) slavery book in their book collection, so that we and our kids can really get what went on back then so that we can live free.....saying,doing, going, worshiping the way we want to (BECAUSE OF THOSE PEOPLE).......VERY GOOD READ
