Slavery and Emancipation
'Slavery and Emancipationis an uncommonly valuable teaching tool for students of American history. Halpern and Dal Lago have judiciously and creatively culled primary and secondary sources that cohere into an important interactive text. Their book traces the evolution of slavery as a virulent force in American life and the hard-fought triumph of emancipation.’John David Smith, North Carolina StateUniversity<!--end-->‘Slavery and Emancipationis a very welcome addition to the documentary record of this most important subject. An intelligent plan of organization, a shrewd selection of both primary and secondary readings, and a well-informed and judicious editorial commentary combine to make this volume an indispensable tool for teachers, students, and general readers alike.’Bruce Levine, University of California, Santa Cruz
