Summary

Under the plantation system, slaves were often subjected to brutal working conditions. Many also saw their families torn apart and were prevented from learning to read and write or owning property. Yet they also helped create a distinctive African-American culture. Author Richard Worth describes how these prisons beneath the sun transformed the lives of African-American slaves. Book jacket.
