From Booklist
There are many books about slavery, but this volume in the Drama of African-American History series is a standout, with the elements both well done and well balanced. Foremost is the text, which is as engaging as it is solidly written. An introduction sets the stage, discussing the first colony at Jamestown and how both whites and blacks--some servants, some slaves--worked the land. The information flows organically, detailing how African Americans came to this new country (following one of the earliest families who bought their way out of indentured servitude) and explaining how Slavery spread and took hold, more strongly in some places than in others. The Revolutionary War and the role of blacks are thoroughly covered, as is what life was like for slaves in both the North and the South. Series books often have a problem with design, but that's not the case here. The pages are clean, and there are plenty of design elements to enliven them: the typeface is sharp, and sidebars are handled in a way that is complementary rather than intrusive. The handsome art, which includes paintings and photographs (some reproduced on full pages), is compelling. A glossary and lists of further resources are appended. Ilene Cooper
