description
Drawing on a wealth of recent scholarship, it looks at slavery as an integral part of a developing nation, challenging the long held notion that slavery was exclusively a Southern enterprise. At the same time, by focusing on the remarkable stories of individual slaves, it offers new perspectives on the slave experience and testifies to the active role that Africans and African Americans took in surviving their bondage and shaping their own lives.
OUR COMMENTS
This documentary series is a combination of interviews and well produced, well financed recreations based on historical documents. If you are looking for a quick summary, this isn't it. But if you want a well researched analysis of slavery and the evolution of African American society up to the reconstruction period, this would be it.
