Book Synopsis
Written by three prominent historians of the period, Slavery's Ghost forces readers to think critically about the way we study the past, the depth of racial prejudice, and how African Americans won and lost their freedom in nineteenth-century America.

Trade Review
Slavery's Ghost advances our understandings of nineteenth-century freedom in new and challenging ways. It deserves to become mandatory reading in all upper-level undergraduate and graduate U.S. and African American history courses. -- Ted Maris-Wolf Journal of Southern History
