Slavery By Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II
What is slavery? Is it the absence of any right to self-determination? Is it being bought and sold in the same way as livestock? Does bonded labour fall into its definition? Is it being free to work for a pittance and obey the Man's rules and regulations, which might be made up on the spot if your face doesn't fit and then suffer the consequences from a beating, to imprisonment, even death?
I don't know how America defined slavery but it was obviously in a fake and euphemistic way if the Government can say it ended in (variously, according to state) between 1863 and 1865 actually teach that lie in schools. Because, in the South, right up until WWII it remained legal to buy and sell people.
I don't want this to turn into an essay. It is a very, very good book, written in a very readable manner and I recommend it to everyone, everywhere, but especially those in the US and those that have some influence on what their education board decides their children should be taught. Children have a right to know the truth if they are going to repair old enmities and move forward into a world which drops the divisions and sings that lovely old kiddies' song,
'the more we are together the happier we will be'.
