Book Synopsis



The groundbreaking, bestselling history of slavery, with a new foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Annette Gordon-Reed


"As vital and necessary a historical document as anyone has ever produced in this country." --The Boston Globe



With the publication of the 1619 Project and the national reckoning over racial inequality, the story of slavery has gripped America's imagination--and conscience--once again.


No group of people better understood the power of slavery's legacies than the last generation of American people who had lived as slaves. Little-known before the first publication of Remembering Slavery, their memories were recorded on paper, and in some cases on primitive recording devices, by WPA workers in the 1930s. A major publishing event, Remembering Slavery captured these extraordinary voices in a single volume for the first time, presenting them as an unprecedented, first-person history of slavery in America.


Remembering Slavery received the kind of commercial attention seldom accorded projects of this nature--nationwide reviews as well as extensive coverage on prime-time television, including Good Morning America, Nightline, CBS Sunday Morning, and CNN. Reviewers called the book "chilling . . . [and] riveting" (Publishers Weekly) and "something, truly, truly new" (The Village Voice).


With a new foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning scholar Annette Gordon-Reed, this new edition of Remembering Slavery is an essential text for anyone seeking to understand one of the most basic and essential chapters in our collective history.
