Ten slaves--all under the age of 19--tell stories of enslavement,
brutality, and dreams of freedom in this collection culled from
full-length autobiographies. These accounts, selected to help
teenagers relate to the horrific experiences of slaves their own
age living in the not-so-distant past, include stories of young
slaves torn from their mothers and families, suffering from
starvation, and being whipped and tortured. But these are not all
tales of deprivation and violence; teenagers will relate to
accounts of slaves challenging authority, playing games, telling
jokes, and falling in love. These stories cover the range of the
slave experience, from the passage in slave ships across the
Atlantic--and daily life as a slave both on large plantations and
in small-city dwellings--to escaping slavery and fighting in the
Civil War. The writings of Olaudah Equiano, Frederick Douglass,
William Wells Brown, Harriet Jacobs, Elizabeth Keckley, and other
lesser-known slaves are included.
