The listing, "Slavery and the Making of America" - Historical Book! LIKE NEW! has ended.
This book is the history of American slavery and of the people whose loss of liberty under it's yoke was much more than a deprivation of political representation. It's the story of African people becoming African Americans, for most under unimaginably oppressive and inhumane conditions, often told in their own words. It examines the great contradiction at the heart of American democracy- that a freedom-loving people tolerated human bondage that violated the values they professed to hold dearest.
