This abridgment of the Prices' acclaimed 1988 critical edition is based on Stedman's original, handwritten manuscript, which offers a portrait at considerable variance with the 1796 classic. The unexpurgated text, presented here with extensive notes and commentary, constitutes one of the richest and most evocative accounts ever written of colonial life--and one of the strongest indictments ever to appear against New World slavery.
Richard Price is the author of twelve books, including an earlier work on the Saramaka people, the award-winning 'First Time: The Historical Vision of an Afro-American People'. He is coeditor, with Sally Price, of John Gabriel Steadman's 'Narrative of a Five Year Expedition against the Revolted Negroes of Surinam'. He has taught at Stanford, Yale, Johns Hopkins, Minnesota, and the University of Paris.
