It reveals how some African-American slave masters had earned their freedom and how some free Blacks purchased slaves for their own use. The book provides a fresh perspective on slavery in the antebellum South and underscores the importance of African Americans in the history of American slavery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book also paints a picture of the complex social dynamics between free and enslaved Blacks, and between Black and white slaveowners.
