Bøger af Elizabeth Rauh Bethel

Spanning the eight decades between the American Revolution and the Civil War, Bethel focuses on the lives of African Americans living in the nominally free northern and western states.

From the newly emancipated slaves who established the rural community of Promised Land in South Carolina, to the third- and fourth-generation descendants who remain there, this text chronicles the story of 50 African-American families. The author explores their unity in the face of racial abuse.
