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.Stedman, John G. is the author of 'Stedman's Surinam Life in an Eighteenth-Century Slave Society', published 1992 under ISBN 9780801842603 and ISBN 0801842603.
