Slave Culture: A Documentary Collection of the Slave Narratives from the Federal Writers' Project [3 volumes]

A Documentary Collection of the Slave Narratives from the Federal Writers' Project

For the first time, the WPA Slave Narratives are organized by theme, making it easier to examine—and understand—specific aspects of slave life and culture.

• Provides topically arranged access to views expressed in the slave narratives, something never done before

• Offers students both contextual analysis and primary source material so they can draw their own conclusions about various aspects of slavery

• Creates a personalized understanding of the challenges that accompanied enslavement

• Allows various populations, such as previously enslaved women, to speak bluntly about the particular difficulties they faced under slavery
