Publisher's Synopsis
Slave Narratives is a compilation of first-hand accounts of slavery in the United States as told by former slaves themselves. This particular volume, Arkansas Narratives V7, is part of a larger project undertaken by the Work Projects Administration during the Great Depression to document the experiences of former slaves before they passed away. The narratives in this volume were collected from interviews conducted in Arkansas and provide a unique insight into the daily lives of slaves, their struggles, and their triumphs. The stories are organized thematically, covering topics such as family life, work, religion, and resistance to slavery. The book serves as a valuable historical document, shedding light on a dark chapter in American history and giving voice to those who were once silenced.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
