Book Synopsis
Identifying and documenting the conditions of Russian serfs has proven difficult because the Russian state discouraged literacy among the serfs and censored public expressions of dissent. This title offers a collection of autobiographies by serfs.

Trade Review
MacKay's highly selective choice of texts will astonish readers in its remarkable diversity of genres and autobiographical contexts. It is a major contribution to comparative cultural studies of slave societies. - Dale E. Peterson, author of Up from Bondage: The Literatures of Russian and African American Soul
