reviewed Voices from Slavery: 100 Authentic Slave Narratives on March 23, 2012 Voices from Slavery: 100 Authentic Slave Narratives
I learned so much reading these stories. If you had asked me why slavery was wrong, I would have said it is wrong to own another person. What I realized reading this book is that, subconsciously, it was the cruelty that really drove my view of slavery. What this book does is force you to reconsider slavery in light of some stories from former slaves who seem to genuinely love the old masters and wish they could go back. Is slavery still abhorrent without the cruelty? In short, this book deepened my thinking about why I actually abhor slavery. Separately, the narratives were great history and full of humanity. The variety of experiences and personalities was rich. Other than the stories of cruelty (yes those are in here too) the thing that made me the most angry was that we didn't really try to gather these accounts until the former slaves were so old. This means we missed the accounts of many former slaves who were older slaves rather than children or young adults. I suspect their perspective would have been different. Over all an excellent compilation of narratives and I recommend this book to anyone.
