Summary

"In [this book], Eugene Frazier compiles narrative interviews with slaves, slave descendants and descendants of plantation owners. These stories give us a singular perspective on the lives of African Americans from 1732 to 1950, following the James Island community from more than 130 years of slavery to decades of sharecropping and farming while slavery's long shadow survived in segregation. Frazier's interviews, conducted between 1942 and 2005, chronicle stories that would otherwise be forgotten."--P. [4] of cover
