"A stunning collection. Venture Smith is a very important historical figure; his memoir is the only first-person source that narrates the entire arc of an African American's life from childhood in Africa through enslavement and emancipation to old age in North America. This volume will serve as a model of how collaborative and cross-disciplinary research can unpack a single documentary source to reveal a rich and intersecting array of insights into the meaning of a distant historical life in its own context as well as its meaning for our own lives and times." - Joanne Melish, author of Disowning Slavery: Gradual Emancipation and Race in New England" Item Details
