In den WarenkorbZustand: Good. First Edition. First edition of this scarce collection of ex-slave narratives, autobiographical memories and recollections of conversion experiences of elderly African Americans born under slavery. 218 pp. Stapled sheets in partial original wrap, linen cloth spine. Text printed and numbered on rectos only. Good, w…ith large chip to front wrap and first blank; rear wrap is lacking, linen spine mostly perished. Contents toned. A rare survival of this fragile production which later appeared in a mass-produced paperback edition in 1969. A collection narratives culled from interviews conducted between 1927 and 1929 by Andrew Polk Watson, a graduate student in anthropology at Fisk University. Originally issued in limited circulation at Social Science Source Documents No. 2 by Fisk in 1945 in tandem with another volume of ex-slave narratives, The Unwritten History of Slavery (Social Science Source Documents No. 1). One hundred elderly black people were surveyed, asking them to recall life during slavery and to describe their religious conversion experiences.
