2018 Frederick Douglass Book Prize Co-Winner 2018 John Hope Franklin Prize Finalist 2018 Zora Neale Hurston/Richard Wright Legacy Award (Nonfiction) Winner 2018 American Book Award Winner 2018 Harriet Tubman Prize Finalist 2018 Merle Curti Social History Award Winner 2018 James A. Rawley Prize Co-Winner A New York Times Editor's Choice selection "If many Americans imagine slavery essentially as a system in which black men toiled on cotton plantations, Miles upends that stereotype several times over." -- New York Times Book Review The prizewinning, nationally celebrated account of the slave origins of a major northern city A brilliant paradigm-shifting book that "transports the reader back to the eighteenth century and brings to life a multiracial community that began in slavery" ( The New York Times ), The Dawn of Detroit reveals for the first time that slavery was at the heart of the Midwest's iconic city. Hailed by Publishers Weekly in a starred review as "a necessary work of powerful, probing scholarship," The Dawn of Detroit meticulously uncovers the experience of the unfree--both native and African American--in a place wildly remote yet at the center of national and international conflict. Tiya Miles has skillfully assembled fragments of a distant historical record, introducing new historical figures and unearthing struggles that remained hidden from view until now. "In her eloquent account," the Washington Post declared, "Miles conjures up a city of stark disparity and lives quashed." A message from the past for our troubled present, The Dawn of Detroit is "an outstanding contribution that seeks to integrate the entirety of U.S. history, admirable and ugly, to offer a more holistic understanding of the country" ( Booklist , starred review)., Winner of the Frederick Douglass Book Prize Winner of the American Book Award Winner of the Merle Curti Social History Award Winner of the James A. Rawley Prize Winner of the Zora Neale Hurston/Richard Wright Legacy Award (Nonfiction) Finalist for the John Hope Franklin Prize Finalist for the Harriet Tubman Prize Finalist for the Cundill History Prize A New York Times Editor's Choice selection "If many Americans imagine slavery essentially as a system in which black men toiled on cotton plantations, Miles upends that stereotype several times over." --New York Times Book Review "[Miles] has compiled documentation that does for Detroit what the Works Progress Administration and the Federal Writers' Project slave narratives did for other regions, primarily the South." --Washington Post "[Tiya Miles] is among the best when it comes to blending artful storytelling with an unwavering sense of social justice." --Martha S. Jones in The Chronicle of Higher Education "A necessary work of powerful, probing scholarship." --Publisher Weekly (starred) "A book likely to stand at the head of further research into the problem of Native and African-American slavery in the north country." --Kirkus Reviews From the MacArthur genius grant winner, a beautifully written and revelatory look at the slave origins of a major northern American city Most Americans believe that slavery was a creature of the South, and that Northern states and territories provided stops on the Underground Railroad for fugitive slaves on their way to Canada. In this paradigm-shifting book, celebrated historian Tiya Miles reveals that slavery was at the heart of the Midwest's iconic city: Detroit. In this richly researched and eye-opening book, Miles has pieced together the experience of the unfree--both native and African American--in the frontier outpost of Detroit, a place wildly remote yet at the center of national and international conflict. Skillfully assembling fragments of a distant historical record, Miles introduces new historical figures and unearths struggles that remained hidden from view until now. The result is fascinating history, little explored and eloquently told, of the limits of freedom in early America, one that adds new layers of complexity to the story of a place that exerts a strong fascination in the media and among public intellectuals, artists, and activists. A book that opens the door on a completely hidden past, The Dawn of Detroit is a powerful and elegantly written history, one that completely changes our understanding of slavery's American legacy., Prizewinning Book: The Dawn of Detroit won both the Merle Curti Prize and the James Rawley Prize, two of the top distinctions in American History Media track record: Hardcover edition attracted major national media attention and stellar reviews. Hardcover blurbs: Endorsements from the nation's top historians, including Ira Berlin, Edward Baptist, and Richard White.

- .***g (9)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufShipping was fast with good bubble wrapping, and the books I purchased came in great condition considering their age, true to how they were pictured on the listing. Thank you for the opportunity to collect a couple rare, out of print books with minimal wear at a fair price!
- b***i (24)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThe book arrived in days, which is something of a miracle in northern MI where deliveries tend to take longer. I think it was described as "used, very good" but it is pristine, I could not distinguish it from a new book. I am also very happy the seller did not price gouge like everyone else is doing and that I got it for $20 when everyone else is charging $35 and up.Mend It Better Creative Patching, Darning, and Stitching by Kristin M.
