Product Description
by Work Projects Administration (Author)
Slave Narratives: Mississippi Narratives is a collection of first-hand accounts of the experiences of enslaved African Americans in Mississippi during the 19th century. The book was compiled by the Work Projects Administration (WPA) in the 1930s as part of a larger initiative to document the history of slavery in the United States. The narratives were collected through interviews with former slaves or their descendants, and cover a wide range of topics including daily life on plantations, the brutality of slavery, the experiences of women and children, and the challenges faced by those who escaped slavery. The accounts provide a valuable insight into the lived experiences of enslaved people in Mississippi, and serve as a powerful reminder of the enduring legacy of slavery in American history.Mississippi Narratives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
