Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An African American folk saying declares, 'Our God can make a way out of no way. . . . He can do anything but fail.' When Dianne Swann-Wright set out to capture and relate the history of her ancestors -- African Americans in central Virginia after the Civil War -- she had to find that way, just as h…er people had done in creating a new life after emancipation. In order to tell their story, she could not rely solely on documents from the plantation where her forebears had lived. Unlike the register of babies born, marriages made, or lives lost that white families' Bibles contained, ledgers recorded Swann-Wright's ancestors, as commodities. Thus Swarm-Wright took another route, setting out to gather spoken words -- stories, anecdotes, and sayings. What results is a strikingly rich and textured history of a slave community.
