Here is what people are saying about the When I Was a Slave : Memoirs from the Slave Narrative Collection (Dover Thrift Editions)
5 Star Rating  "Amazing"2009-09-12
- Reviewed By User: A1EY7XJBCTJJDJ
I call these accounts from the mouths of Slaves amazing because it's amazing
that this race of people survived under such inhumane conditions. If you want
to get the real deal and not some watered down made for tv version this book
will be for you.
 
5 Star Rating  "Fascinating piece of southern history"2009-08-14
- Reviewed By User: AHN7W6LL6V3WL
This book is absolutely priceless. The reader will get a first hand account of slavery from those who experienced it, in their precise, unaltered language from a bygone era.

Some of the former slaves were treated well by their owners, while many provide graphic details of dreadful human suffering and cruelty at the hands of their ruthless owners. Families were sold apart at auction, never to see each other again. Children fed at a "trough" as if they were beasts. Men kept in chains to prevent them from escaping the horrors of slavery. Men fathering children with their female slaves, and then selling their own children off into slavery.

Each autobiography is only a few pages in length. Thus, it is an easy book to read, put down, and then revisit as time allows. This book should be required reading for all students of history. I strongly recommend this excellent, vivid description of American slavery.
 
5 Star Rating  "Instant insight"2008-10-28
- Reviewed By thomas11909
If you have never read any of the slave narratives, get this book as a start. The slave narratives written down in the 30s are amazing in the insight they give the reader. This is a reasonable selection. (There are many, many, more.)
 
5 Star Rating  "A DEEPER DIMENSION"2008-09-27
- Reviewed By yrbr75
Thanks to this book, I look at my people, Black people, in a deeper dimension. A lot of what we do today, whether food or clothes, comes from what was forced upon us in slavery. Black slave families torn apart, is the reason why TODAY, we Black people are family.

5 Star Rating  "A Treasure Trove"2007-06-26
- Reviewed By doc_k
Norman Yetman has done every researcher of African American history a great service by his splendid compilation in "When I Was a Slave." Yetman used a precise formula for inclusion and/or exclusion in order to compile these narratives out of more than 3,000 interviews performed by the WPA in the 1930s. They are clearly representative of the entire 3,000, while at the same time of greater length and providing more detail than the 2,900 others.

Here the reader hears first-hand the voices of the ex-enslaved African American--telling his or her story with startling imagery and amazing detail. This is a one-of-a-kind collection well worth buying, reading, and re-reading.

Reviewer: Bob Kellemen, Ph.D., is the author of Beyond the Suffering: Embracing the Legacy of African American Soul Care and Spiritual Direction , Spiritual Friends: A Methodology of Soul Care And Spiritual Direction, and Soul Physicians.
