Written by Howard Dodson, Director of The New York Public Library's Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, one of the most prominent institutions of black scholarship in the world, the volume includes essays by leading voices in African-American history and literature on topics such as abolition and emancipation, changes in family life and social development, religion, and the evolution of language, literacy, and education through the end of Reconstruction.
The outstanding text is enhanced by more than 200 stunning illustrations from the Schomburg Center's extensive collections. From slave ship manifests, manumission papers, and some of the earliest photographs of slaves to carved items that echo African sculpture and freedom quilts with African motifs, the rich illustrations bring to life this crucial transition from slavery to freedom.
Hardcover, 200 illustrations in color and black and white, 224 pages, 9½ x 11¼ inches.
