I put this book in the context of the time
I decided to read this book after having read "Mayflower". It was apparently the first American bestseller and was popular in Britain also at the time. I was curious about how she was treated by the Indians. It certainly showed these Indians as ordinary people - ...

Choose to read this one!

Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2004

Lively, well-written overview of US slavery
I have not yet read Berlin's other book, so I can not compare the two, as some reviewers have done. I thought that the book was quite good. It has a rather peculiar point of view, which was very helpful to me, although it might be hard to follow for someone not ...
