"Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from..." is a collection compiled between 1936 and 1938 by the Federal Writers' Project. The work contains over 2,000 interviews with formerly enslaved individuals, preserving their memories before this generation disappeared. Conducted primarily by white interviewers across seventeen states, the collection sparked lasting debate about racial bias and authenticity. These narratives offer invaluable glimpses into slavery's reality while reflecting the complex
power dynamics of Depression-era America. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
