The Slaves' Economy: Independent Production by Slaves in the Americas by Ira Berlin (9780714641720)

Description - The Slaves' Economy: Independent Production by Slaves in the Americas by Ira Berlin

Slaves achieved a degree of economic independence, producing food, tending cash crops, raising livestock, manufacturing furnished goods, marketing their own products, consuming and saving the proceeds and bequeathing property to their descendants. The editors of this volume contend that the legacy of slavery cannot be understood without a full appreciation of the slaves' economy.
