Time on the Cross; the Economics of American Negro Slavery
Boston, (1974): Little, Brown and Co. First Editions in English. Octavo. Item #023918
In two volumes:286 and 267 pp. illustrated with diagrams. This is the re-examination of the economic foundations of American Negro slavery. It constitutes an entirely new portrayal of slavery's past and a past, and shows which black Americans struggled successfully to maintain their dignity, their competence, and the integrity of their family life. It challenges virtually every assumption that has been made about the management of slaves, their work habits, and their domestic welfare. A fine set bound in brown cloth, spines lettered in gilt, in near fine unclipped brown dust jackets lettered in white, yellow and blue.
