About this book
Creators: United States. Work Projects Administration "Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from…" is a collection compiled between 1936 and 1938 by the Federal Writers' Project. The work preserves over 2,000 interviews with formerly enslaved individuals across seventeen states, capturing their life histories before their generation disappeared. These firsthand accounts offer unprecedented testimony about slavery, though historians debate how white interviewers' presence may have shaped the narratives. The collection remains a contested but invaluable window into American slavery and its lasting impact on national identity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
