amazing
Everyone should read this book. It is a well-written account of American history and oppression that is often left out of textbooks and shamefully continues today through poverty.
Good conditon but took long to get here
This book was in good/new condition but it took forever to get here. Even though the receiving dates was two weeks it got here on the second to last day so if you need this book for class order it from someone else who guarantees faster shipping.
Only one small complaint
I could not put this book down. After I finished I went on to read about white slavery just so that I had a well rounded idea of what was going on during this time. The only small complaint I have is that when authors talk about chattel slavery they all tend to group African Americans together as in "when African Americans got the right to vote" etc. This needs to be more specific if we are ever to really have a grasp of that history. African American men got the "right to vote" in 1850, Women as a group in 1920. I had to pen in "men" and "male" throughout my copy of this book for the next reader to remember white/black male/female all have specific histories in this country. But other than that, I could not put it down.
Very quick delivery!
Every time I order books directly from Amazon it arrives within three days, and I love that.
Thanks Amazon!

Slavery by Another Name
Interesting and very informational. As the holy scriptures states, "There is nothing new under the sun". What went on then continues to this very day. So-called African Americans have NEVER been Free!
This is a book that every A.M. should read, especially young males. The revolving prison doors mainly houses them!
