First-Time - The Historical Vision of an African American People (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition)

A classic of historical anthropology, "First-Time" traces the shape of historical thought among peoples who had previously been denied any history at all. The top half of each page presents a direct transcript of oral histories told by living Saramakas about their eighteenth-century ancestors, "Maroons" who had escaped slavery and settled in the rain forests of Suriname. Below these transcripts, Richard Price provides commentaries placing the Saramaka accounts into broader social, intellectual, and historical contexts.
"First-Time"'s unique style of presentation preserves the integrity of both its oral and documentary sources, uniting them in a profound meditation on the roles of history and memory. This second edition includes a new preface by the author, discussing "First-Time"'s impact and recounting the continuing struggles of the Saramaka people.
