Been in the Storm So Long: The Aftermath of Slavery
Been in the Storm So Long won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. Based on hitherto unexamined sources: interviews with ex-slaves, diaries and accounts by former slaveholders, this book aims to show how, during the Civil War and after Emancipation, blacks and whites interacted in ways that dramatized not only their mutual dependency, but the ambiguities and tensions that had always been latent in "the peculiar institution."
