PROUD OF AMERICA? June 21, 2008
12 out of 13 found this review helpful

I haven't read this book yet, but was introduced to it on Bill Moyers Journal this week. I know it's a 5-Star book already. It occurred to me that with this book, and the publications and documentaries on the destruction of the American Indian, slavery, our aggression towards Mexico and the displacement of Hawaii's Monarchy and its people (among others), the question of whether I am "proud" of America is a bit difficult to answer. When Michelle Obama said she was "at last proud of America", I didn't take it as an insult, but rather as an expression of truth. I wonder if she has read this book. An people wonder why Jeremiah Wright was angry? I bet he read this book! I'm a white senior citizen reared in Georgia. My grandfather was a supervisor on a turpentine plantation in south Georgia the first part of the 20th century (1910-1942) and I can't help but wonder if there were re-enslaved blacks under his supervision. He may not have been a member of the KKK, but he certainly agreed with what they did, so I'm afraid to find out, but I will, or will try. Why don't Americans read more? What's happened to our education system that we don't expose everything, warts and all? It's enough to make you spit!

The Truth June 5, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful

If you are really interested in what happened to Black Americans post slavery to early WWII, this book is a must read. This book exposes alot of hidden facts that our "wonderful" education system does not teach you in history courses. Slavery did not end with the Civil War, but that is what certain groups want you to believe. The truth hurts.

I must say I truly enjoyed a fresh look at Slavery by Another Name. I shared this book and some if it's passage's with family and friends, and they were surprised at what they learned about yet another part of history for Afro-Americans. I would ask every American to read this book, especially those who don't know any or all of their history.

BLACK AMERICAN HOLOCAUST May 30, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

I have always maintained that the enslavement of millions of Blacks by the white man during almost 400 years has been the most horrible Holocaust ever perpetrated by mankind.Here comes Douglas Blackmon and -in a most shocking,stunning and powerful book-justifies my view.He also justifies the dictum of Edward Gibbon who wrote that history is no more than a list of human crimes.
The re-enslavement of Blacks after its formal abolition is -I am sure-one of the most horrendous crimes of the 20th century and is certainly one of the most shameful episodes of American history.In the name of the false God of Mammon,whites have committed the worst possible acts against their country fellowmen.The book shows that the Declaration of the Emancipation of the Blacks was a farce.By documenting and examining thousand of cases, Mr. Blackmon has written a masterpiece, showing the extent of racial subjugation by all possible means.Many Southern American companies have profitted immensely from the phenomenon of neoslavery and I think it would be best for them to acknowledge this fact by compensating the families of those unfortunate victims in the same manner the Jewish people have managed to convince the Germans to do so. Although the Nazis have singled out the Jews for extermination because their only crime was being Jewish, the Jewish Holocaust was limited in time.Not so with the Black Americans.
Cheap labour was the name of the game and Blacks were tortured, maimed,raped, abused,mishandled,lynched, exploited-all these for the purpose of enriching the pockets of their white masters, who enjoyed loopholes in the legal system for their own interests.The enslavement of Blacks was a continuous Holocaust by means of slave labour.
This book should find its place in every American household and should be made mandatory reading in every school or university.Mr. Blackmon has set a new standard of historical research ,illuminating one of the most shameful and revulsive (little-unknown) chapters of American history and for his achievement he should get the Pulitzer prize, and this book should be nominated as "The Book of the Year".

Required Reading May 27, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

This book is exceptionally well written and a worthy topic. It should be read by all American history students. At this point the history is mostly known by those directly impacted and those that loved them. As a result of our ignorance about our Nation's history, links between our diverse people are compromised. Until we know the stories of our people, we will shake our heads -- some thinking why are they upset and others thinking how can they be so ignorant.
