How did African-American slaves view their white masters? Mia Bay traces African-American perceptions of whites between 1830 and 1925 to depict America’s shifting attitudes about race in a period that saw slavery, emancipation, Reconstruction, and urban migration. Much has been written about how the whites of this time viewed blacks, and about how blacks viewed themselves. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Subject
