Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers

(4 Sterne; 4 Bewertungen)

These volumes of slave narratives are the product of the Federal Writers Project sponsored by the Library of Congress and the Work Project Administration. They consist of verbatim records of personal interviews with former slaves conducted during 1936-1938.

"These life histories, taken down as far as possible in the narrators' words, constitute an invaluable body of unconscious evidence or indirect source material, . . . The narratives belong to folk history—history recovered from the memories and lips of participants or eye-witnesses,” This is for the state of Kentucky, Volume 7 in a series of 34 volumes. - Summary by Larry Wilson (5 hr 1 min)

why do we have to hear this long title read out twice?!

(5 Sterne)

The words of these ex-slaves have such power, speaking out of history Shame these excerpts are so short

bizarre .. Hardly any actual slave narrative?
