Om denne boken

"Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from..." is a collection compiled between 1936 and 1938 by the Federal Writers' Project. Over 2,000 interviews with formerly enslaved individuals across seventeen states created more than 10,000 typed pages of firsthand accounts. These voices from the last generation to experience slavery directly captured memories that would have otherwise vanished. However, the predominantly white interviewers sparked debate about bias and how race relations shaped what was recorded and revealed during these Depression-era conversations.
