?An astonishing book. . . . It will challenge and change your
understanding of what we were as Americans ? and of what we are.? ?
Chicago Tribune In this groundbreaking historical expos?, Douglas
A. Blackmon brings to light one of the most shameful chapters in
American history ? an ?Age of Neoslavery? that thrived from the
aftermath of the Civil War through the dawn of World War II. Using
a vast record of original documents and personal narratives,
Blackmon unearths the lost stories of slaves and their descendants
who journeyed into freedom after the Emancipation Proclamation and
then back into the shadow of involuntary servitude shortly
thereafter. By turns moving, sobering, and shocking, this
unprecedented account reveals the stories of those who fought
unsuccessfully against the re-emergence of human labor trafficking,
the companies that profited most from neoslavery, and the insidious
legacy of racism that reverberates today. The genius of Blackmon's
book is that it illuminates both the real human tragedy and the
profoundly corrupting nature of the Old South slavery as it
transformed to establish a New South social order.? ? The Atlanta
Journal-Constitution A formidably researched, powerfully written,
wrenchingly detailed narrative.? ? St. Louis Post-Dispatch
