I Belong to South Carolina: South Carolina Slave Narratives. Columbia, South Carolina: University of South Carolina, 2010. Print.
This collection restores to print seven slave narratives documenting the lived realities of slavery as it existed across the Palmetto State’s upcountry, midlands, and low-country, from plantation culture to urban servitude. First published between the late eighteenth century and the dawn of the twentieth, these richly detailed firsthand accounts present a representative cross section of slave experiences, from religious awakenings and artisan apprenticeships to sexual exploitations and harrowing escapes.
