Book Overview

George Rawick's From Sundown to Sunup is by far the most successful recent book about slave culture. . . . As impressive as Rawick's analysis of slave life is his interpretation of American racism. Eric Foner, University Review

A Classic

"From Sundown to Sunup" by George P. Rawick is the introductory volume in Rawick's groundbreaking 19 volume (plus supplemental volumes) series which transcribes the slave narrative interviews made from 1936 to 1938. All volumes are available online at the Library of Congress. In this introductory volume, Rawick uses the captivating title that harkens back to slave times. From sunup to sundown belonged to the "master." That's when work was done. But from sundown to sunup, belonged to the enslaved person. Rawick brilliantly culls from narrative interviews the necessary information to conclude that even from sunup to sundown, the enslaved person's soul and mind never had to be enslaved--only his or her physical body. In interesting chapter after fascinating chapter, he shares slices of first hand accounts to weave together the story of how enslaved people united together to become a community. Reviewer: Dr. Robert W. Kellemen is the author of "Beyond the Suffering: Embracing the Legacy of African American Soul Care and Spiritual Direction." He has also authored "Soul Physicians" and "Spiritual Friends."
