For the first time, the WPA Slave Narratives are organized by
theme, making it easier to examine-and understand-specific aspects
of slave life and culture. There is no better way to appreciate
history than to experience it through the eyes of those who lived
it. Slave Culture: A Documentary Collection of the Slave Narratives
from the Federal Writers' Project brings together the memories of
the last generation of enslaved African Americans gathered through
interviews conducted between 1936 and 1938. This three-volume work
stands apart from previous Slave Narrative collections in that it
organizes the narratives thematically, bringing the rich tapestry
of slave culture to life in a fresh way. Within each thematic area,
multiple excerpts span time, gender, and geography. An introductory
essay for each theme and a contextual explanation for each
narrative help readers draw lessons from this vast collection,
while an introduction to the work explains the Works Progress
Administration's Slave Narrative project-illuminating still another
era in American history. Provides topically arranged access to
views expressed in the slave narratives, something never done
before Offers students both contextual analysis and primary source
material so they can draw their own conclusions about various
aspects of slavery Creates a personalized understanding of the
challenges that accompanied enslavement Allows various populations,
such as previously enslaved women, to speak bluntly about the
particular difficulties they faced under slavery
