Description

Book Synopsis
The unexpurgated text, presented here with extensive notes and commentary, constitutes one of the richest and most evocative accounts ever written of colonial life-and one of the strongest indictments ever to appear against New World slavery.

Trade Review
This abridged edition includes about half of Stedman's original text and over a third of the original plates... The text itself is made more readable by moderate editorial changes in spelling, punctuation, and word order... A well-accomplished abridgment of the editors' own 1988 edition. Colonial Latin American Historical Review
