Reviews

Important documents, and painstaking scholarship, become more significant over time. `Pretends to Be Free' was a revelation two decades ago, and it remains one today. The first slave narratives were the ones told by the master class, but they are no less informative for that-especially when collected with such care and contextualized with recent and sympathetic scholarship. -- David Waldstreicher, The Graduate Center, City University of New York
