Sinopsis

In the poignant anthology *When We Were Slaves*, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) documents the harrowing narratives of formerly enslaved individuals in the United States. This collection weaves together oral histories that vividly recount the brutality and dehumanization faced by enslaved people, juxtaposed against their enduring resilience and culture. Written in a direct yet evocative style, the text serves as an invaluable record of American history, reflecting the WPA's broader mission to capture and preserve the voices of marginalized communities during the Great Depression. The juxtaposition of personal testimonies with broader social commentary situates these narratives within a comprehensive examination of systemic injustice and human endurance. The Works Progress Administration was an essential agency during the New Deal, dedicated to providing jobs and fostering cultural projects. The collection emerged from a vast initiative to document the legacies of slavery through interviews with individuals who experienced it first-hand. This endeavor was not only a means of preserving history but also aimed at acknowledging the cultural impact of slavery on American society. *When We Were Slaves* is a crucial read for anyone seeking to understand the realities of slavery, its lasting effects on American society, and the importance of storytelling in seeking justice and healing. This book offers a powerful connection to the past and challenges readers to confront the complexities of history.
