| Publisher Description: The Complete Arkansas Slave Narratives Collection. A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from Interviews with Former Slaves. This volume consists of Volume II Parts 1 & 2 of the Arkansas Slave Narratives and Interviews conducted by the Works Progress Administration and the Federal Writers' Project. These slave narratives/interviews represent some of the only sources of information from former slaves in the United States, as many slaves were not allowed to learn to read or write, therefore only a small number of former slaves were able to document their experiences while in bondage as a slave in America. These narrative are considered a some of the best sources available to obtain at least some first hand insights into the daily lives of those who were slaves in America. Prepared by the Federal Writers' Project of the Works Progress Administration for the State of Arkansas |
