“An astonishing book. . . . It will struggle and change your understanding of what we were as People in the usa — and of what we are.” — Chicago TribuneIn this groundbreaking historical exposé, Douglas A. Blackmon brings to light one of the very most shameful chapters in American background — an “Age of Neoslavery” that thrived from the aftermath of the Civil War through the dawn of World War II.Utilizing a great record of original documents and personal narratives, Blackmon unearths the lost stories of slaves and their descendants who journeyed into independence after the Emancipation Proclamation and then back to the shadow of involuntary servitude quickly thereafter. By turns moving, sobering, and shocking, this unprecedented accounts reveals the stories of those who fought unsuccessfully resistant to the re-emergence of human labor trafficking, the firms that profited most from neoslavery, and the insidious legacy of racism that reverberates today.“The genius of Blackmon’s e book is the fact that it illuminates both real human tragedy and the profoundly corrupting character of the Old South slavery as it transformed to establish a New South social order.” — The Atlanta Journal-Constitution“A formidably explored, powerfully written, wrenchingly comprehensive narrative.” — St. Louis Post-Dispatch
