This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Complete Arkansas Slave Narratives Collection. A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from Interviews with Former Slaves. This volume consists of Parts 1 & 2 of Volume II of the Arkansas Slave Narratives and interviews conducted by the Works Progress Administration. These slave narratives/interviews represent some of the only sources of information from former slaves in the United States, as many slaves were not allowed to learn to read or write, therefore only a small number of former slaves were able to document their experiences while in bondage as a slave in America. Although, there are some criticisms of these interviews, they do offer some valuable insights into the daily lives of those who were slaves in America. Prepared by the Federal Writers' Project of the Works Progress Administration for the State of Arkansas

Book Synopsis Bearing Witness by : George E. Lankford
Download or read book Bearing Witness written by George E. Lankford and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2006-03-01 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of Bearing Witness brought together for the first time 176 slave narratives from the state of Arkansas. Now, this new edition adds ten previously undiscovered accounts. No one knew the truths of slavery better than the slaves themselves, but no one consulted them until the 1930s. Then, recognizing that this generation of unique witnesses would soon be lost to history, the Works Progress Administration's Federal Writers' Project acted to interview as many former slaves as possible. In a continuation of the project's interest in the life histories of ordinary people, writers interviewed over two thousand former slaves, more than a third of them in Arkansas. These oral histories were first published in the 1970s in a thirty-nine-volume series organized by state, and they transformed America's understanding of slavery. They have offered crucial evidence on a variety of other topics as well: the Civil War, Reconstruction, agricultural practices, everyday life, and oral history itself. But some former Arkansas slaves were interviewed in Texas, Oklahoma, and other states, so their narratives were published in those other collections. And more than half of the testimonies in the Arkansas volume were interviews with people who had moved to Arkansas after freedom. Folklorist George Lankford combed all of the state collections for the testimonies properly belonging to Arkansas and deleted from this state's collection the testimony of later migrants
Book Synopsis Remembering Slavery by : Marc Favreau
Download or read book Remembering Slavery written by Marc Favreau and published by New Press, The. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The groundbreaking, bestselling history of slavery, with a new foreword by Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Annette Gordon-Reed With the publication of the 1619 Project and the national reckoning over racial inequality, the story of slavery has gripped America’s imagination—and conscience—once again. No group of people better understood the power of slavery’s legacies than the last generation of American people who had lived as slaves. Little-known before the first publication of Remembering Slavery over two decades ago, their memories were recorded on paper, and in some cases on primitive recording devices, by WPA workers in the 1930s. A major publishing event, Remembering Slavery captured these extraordinary voices in a single volume for the first time, presenting them as an unprecedented, first-person history of slavery in America. Remembering Slavery received the kind of commercial attention seldom accorded projects of this nature—nationwide reviews as well as extensive coverage on prime-time television, including Good Morning America, Nightline, CBS Sunday Morning, and CNN. Reviewers called the book “chilling . . . [and] riveting” (Publishers Weekly) and “something, truly, truly new” (The Village Voice). With a new foreword by Pulitzer Prize–winning scholar Annette Gordon-Reed, this new edition of Remembering Slavery is an essential text for anyone seeking to understand one of the most basic and essential chapters in our collective history.

Download or read book The Slaves' War written by Andrew Ward and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2008 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Slaves' War, the acclaimed historian Andrew Ward delivers an unprecedented vision of the nation's bloodiest conflict. Woven together from hundreds of interviews, diaries, letters, and memoirs, here is a groundbreaking and poignant narrative of the CivilWar as seen from not only battlefields, capitals, and camps, but from slave quarters, kitchens, roadsides, and fields as well. Speaking in a quintessentially American language, body servants, army cooks, runaways, and gravediggers bring the war to life. From slaves' theories about the causes of the CivilWar to their frank assessments of such major figures as Lincoln, Davis, Lee, and Grant; from their searing memories of the carnage of battle to their often startling attitudes toward masters and liberators alike; and from their initial jubilation at the Yankee invasion of the South to the crushing disappointment of freedom's promise unfulfilled, The Slaves' War is a transformative and engrossing chronicle of America's Second Revolution.
