2.		When I Was a Slave: Memoirs from the Slave Narrative Collection (Dover Thrift Editions) from Dover Publications Price: $2.50 Customer Review: Thanks to this book, I look at my people, Black people, in a deeper dimension. A lot of what we do today, whether food or clothes, comes from what was forced upon us in slavery. Black slave families torn apart, is the reason why TODAY, we Black people are family.

4.		Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave & Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl (Modern Library MM) from Modern Library Price: $6.95 Customer Review: These two books are sometimes very hard going, but essential reading for Americans. We probably tend to think about slavery very much in the abstract, when we even think about it, but these narratives make it painfully palpable and very human. In a way complementary to Akhil Reed Amar's brilliant... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		Six Women's Slave Narratives (Schomburg Library of Nineteenth Century Black Women Writers) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $19.75 Customer Review: An overall good read, however, it was longer than it should have been.

8.		Voices from Slavery: 100 Authentic Slave Narratives from Dover Publications Price: $10.17 Customer Review: Importantly, this is an "easy" read. Since it is a compilation of stories told by people who had been slaves, it is not full of theory or the writing of historians demonstrating their ability to use obscure words. It is obviously all the more powerful and interesting as a result. If you know people... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
