Black Indian Slave Narratives - (Real Voices, Real History Series) by Patrick Minges (Paperback)

This book, "Black Indian Slave Narratives," offers a unique perspective on the complex relationships between African Americans and Native Americans during the 19th century.

Through first-person narratives from enslaved individuals who were owned by both African Americans and Native Americans, this collection provides insight into the lives of people living in dynamically interconnected cultures.

The narratives offer historical details of capture and enslavement, life in the Old South and the Old West, Indian removal, and slavery in the Indian territory.

The author, Patrick Minges, worked for 17 years for Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch before becoming a teacher and author.

This book is an important contribution to the dialogue about relationships between African-Americans and Native-Americans, and the complex political context in which these narratives were recorded.

The author allows the people to tell their stories without over-analyzing this often emotional subject, making it a must-read for anyone interested in American history and cultural heritage.
