It assesses the full impact of the Middle Passage -- \"the most traumatizing mass human migration in modern history\" -- and of North American slavery both on the enslaved and on those who enslaved them. It explores the ways in which a nominally free society perverted its own freedoms and denied the fact that an inhuman institution lies at the heart of the American experience. The authority and eloquence of this work make it essential reading for all who want to understand the American past and present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis classic work of scholarship and empathy tells the story of the self-creation of the African-American people.
