Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II
By Douglas A Blackmon
This groundbreaking historical expose unearths the lost stories of enslaved persons and their descendants who journeyed into freedom after the Emancipation Proclamation and then back into the shadow of involuntary servitude shortly thereafter in āThe Age of Neoslavery.ā
By turns moving, sobering, and shocking, this unprecedented Pulitzer Prize-winning account reveals the stories of those who fought unsuccessfully against the re-emergence of human labor trafficking, the companies that profited most from neoslavery, and the insidious legacy of racism that reverberates today.
Following the Emancipation Proclamation, convictsāmostly black menāwere āleasedā through forced labor camps operated by state and federal governments. Using a vast record of original documents and personal narratives, Douglas A. Blackmon brings to light one of the most shameful chapters in American history.
āAn astonishing book. . . . It will challenge and change your understanding of what we were as Americansāand of what we are.āĀ āChicago Tribune
