<br/><br/> This book challenges our most basic ideas about slavery and freedom in America. Instead of seeing emancipation as the beginning or end of the story, O'Donovan explores the perilous transition between these two conditions, offering a unique vision of the enormous changes and the profound continuities in black life before and after the Civil War.
