From the rear cover
Expanding the possibilities of historical writing, this multivocal narrative invites the reader to participate directly in the act of historical imagination. Richard Price is an expert guide through these first-hand accounts-as white colonists strain to suppress black culture, and blacks resist, determined to create and preserve their own distinctly Afro-American lifeways.
