"Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from Interviews with Former Slaves" is a historical account compiled in the late 1930s. This volume is part of a larger collection that details the personal stories and experiences of former slaves in the United States, specifically focusing on those from Georgia. The narratives provide an invaluable perspective on the realities of plantation life, the cultural practices, and the memories of freedom from the voices of those who lived through it. The opening of this volume introduces several individuals, starting with Aunt Georgia Telfair, who reflects on her early life and family origins on a Southern plantation. Her narrative speaks of the transition from slavery to freedom, interwoven with rich descriptions of daily life, including cooking, schooling, and community events. Georgia recalls her family’s efforts to sustain themselves through farming and shares fond memories of gatherings, cooking methods, and superstitions. The tone is conversational and heartfelt, capturing the nuances of her childhood and the cultural significance of shared experiences, illustrating a vivid tapestry of life before and after emancipation.
