The first Reader and Guide to the subject of slavery in America. It
combines both an introduction to the field and a selection of core
primary and secondary readings, covering the period from the early
seventeenth century to the American Civil War. Divided into 12
sections, it maps on to the semester system, whereby each section
can form the core of a particular week's teaching. The opening and
closing sections follow a chronological structure, while the main
body of the volume takes a thematic approach, covering the
following key areas: * Slavery in the Old South * Slave Life * The
Economics of Slavery * Slavery and the Law * Slave Resistance *
Pro-Slavery Ideology * The Anti-Slavery Movement * Slavery and
Expansion Primary documents are drawn from a wide variety of
sources: extracts from diaries, letters, laws, debates, oral
testimonies, travellers' accounts, inventories, journals,
autobiographies, petitions and novels. Black and white, male and
female testimony is drawn upon. The secondary readings have been
selected for including important, provocative discussions, based on
the editor's experience of what works well in a teaching
environment. Where possible the secondary readings link with the
primary documents. As well as an introduction to the volume, each
section consists of an introduction, a secondary reading and a
selection of shorter primary documents. The introduction to each
section introduces the main points of historical discussion, raises
important questions and indicates what other writings should be
consulted. Key Features * The only combined reader and guide to the
subject of slavery in America * Based on the author's extensive
experience of teaching the subject * Includes primary and secondary
readings * Covers colonial period and later years -- incredibly
broad-ranging
