"Slavery and Emancipation" is the most up-to-date and comprehensive
collection of primary and secondary readings on the history of
slaveholding in the American South. It combines recent historical
research with period documents to bring both immediacy and
perspective to the origins, principles, realities, and aftermath of
African-American slavery. Central topics include the colonial
foundations of slavery, the master-slave relationship, the cultural
world of the planters, the slave community, and slave resistance
and rebellion.
Each topical section contains one major article by a prominent
historian, and three primary documents. The documents have been
drawn from a wide variety of sources, including plantation records,
travellers' accounts, slave narratives, autobiographies, statute
law, diaries, letters, and investigative reports. This material has
been carefully chosen to benefit students and readers of the
history of African-American slavery and emancipation.
