<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this historical expos, Blackmon brings to light one of the most shameful chapters in American history--an Age of Neoslavery that thrived from the aftermath of the Civil War through the dawn of World War II. photographs.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>This groundbreaking historical expose unearths the lost stories of enslaved persons and their descendants who journeyed into freedom after the Emancipation Proclamation and then back into the shadow of involuntary servitude shortly thereafter in "The Age of Neoslavery."</b> <p/>By turns moving, sobering, and shocking, this unprecedented Pulitzer Prize-winning account reveals the stories of those who fought unsuccessfully against the re-emergence of human labor trafficking, the companies that profited most from neoslavery, and the insidious legacy of racism that reverberates today. <p/>Following the Emancipation Proclamation, convicts--mostly black men--were "leased" through forced labor camps operated by state and federal governments. Using a vast record of original documents and personal narratives, Douglas A. Blackmon brings to light one of the most shameful chapters in American history. <p/><b>"An astonishing book. . . .
