Description
In 1998, The New Press published Remembering Slavery, a book-and-tape set that offered a startling first-person history of slavery. Using excerpts from the thousands of interviews conducted with ex-slaves in the 1930s by researchers working with the Federal Writers' Project, the astonishing audiotapes made available the only known recordings of people who actually experienced enslavement-recordings that had gathered dust in the Library of Congress until they were rendered audible for the first time specifically for this set. Remembering Slavery received the kind of commercial attention seldom accorded projects of this nature-nationwide critical and review coverage as well as extensive coverage on prime-time television, including Good Morning America, Nightline, CBS Sunday Morning, and CNN. Reviewers called the set "chilling … [and] riveting” (Publishers Weekly) and "something, truly, truly new” (The Village Voice). Now the groundbreaking book component of the set is available for a new generation of readers.
