Nearly 10 years ago, The New Press published this book and tape set that offered a startling first-person history of slavery in the US. Using excerpts from the thousands of interviews conducted with ex-slaves in the 1930s, the astonishing tapes were the only known recordings of people who actually experienced enslavement. Now this groundbreaking set is available for a new generatoin of readers and listeners, offering remastered compact discs in MP3 format of the extensive original live recordings.
