Henry Louis GatesThe Classic Slave Narratives

Some of the parts of the narratives throughout the book were really sad along with how impressive it was to see these individuals witness and with some experience first hand what slavery was like along with how they managed to overcome their struggles and fight through the difficulties that some had to experience. I highly recommend this as a read. It really had a profound affect and really gives you a good idea of the harsh conditions that they along with others had to face.

Very good

Book was exactly as mentioned, absolutely no defects, and delivery was punctual..overall, wonderful product!

This collects some of the greatest and most important slave narratives. It includes the first known slave narrative ever written by Olaudah Equiano (A.K.A. Gustavus Vassa). That was probably my favorite one out of all of them because it was very adventurous. It is also intriguing because it was the first narrative ever published from a Black person. All of these narratives are great, and you can really learn a lot about the history of slavery within the pages of this book.If you love reading black literature, you should definitely pick this book up.

I received my copy of “The Classic Slave Narratives” fairly quickly, which was very nice. I ordered and paid for it as “new” so I had to double check that I really did buy it new when I saw that it had some scuff marks and tiny tears at the top corner. I’m not picky, but since I bought it new, I expected it to be a new book that’s in perfect condition. Otherwise, it’s in great condition with all of the pages intact.
