In 1988 Greenwood Press published the Dictionary of Afro-American Slavery to wide acclaim by the library community and scholars in the field. The Dictionary was issued at a time when the study of slavery commanded a central place in American historical thinking and, increasingly, in a host of other disciplines as well. Interest in slavery has not abated. Yet, despite a growing sophistication in methodology and complexity of analysis, the basic contours of the study of slavery remain much the same as when the Dictionary first appeared. To take the latest scholarship into account, the editors have added a new introduction surveying the principal themes in research and writing over the past decade and have appended a bibliography, arranged by broad thematic areas keyed to topics treated in the text.
In 1988 Greenwood Press published the Dictionary of Afro-American Slavery to wide acclaim by the library community and scholars in the field. It was selected as a Best Reference Book by Library Journal, a Choice Outstanding Academic Book, and an American Library Association Outstanding Reference Book. Historian John Hope Franklin declared it an indispensable tool for all students of human bondage, while the Journal of the Early Republic announced it has something for everyone interested in Afro-American slavery, from the general reader to undergraduate student to professional historian.

From Library Journal
Secondary school, public, and academic libraries will welcome this excellent one-volume encyclopedia. The 300 or so articles, which focus on places, persons, or themes, are frequently several pages long; the more than 200 authors are truly experts in their respective subjects, and several are well known. A brief bibliography follows every article; the citations, ranging from primary sources to recent scholarship, are limited to what the authors and editors consider the best of relevant writings. Reference librarians will applaud the knowledge and judgment reflected in the bibliographies, though a more rigorous check for post-1984 items would have strengthened this feature. Scholars seeking facts outside their specialty as well as generalists investigating aspects of American slavery can benefit from the Dictionary. A good subject index and cross-references facilitate access. Though some of the information can be found elsewhere, the focus here is unique, the articles combine substance with fluent style, and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Review
"This one-volume reference work seeks to provide a synthesis of the vast scholarly literature and make it accessible to the nonspecialist and general reader. The focus is on slavery in the U.S. from the time of the first English settlements until Reconstruction. . . . The essays, which range from a few paragraphs to over five pages, are arranged alphabetically. Each is signed by one of the over 200 contributors, primarily college professors, who are listed in an appendix with their affiliations. The essays treat both broad subjects, such as the slave trade, abolition, and education, as well as more focussed topics like the underground railroad, slavery in specific cities or states and biographies. Maps, charts and statistical tables are included where appropriate, for example, in the entry Economics of Slavery. The articles bring modern findings and debates and controversial opinions into the discussions, and each entry has a bibliography appended. The writing styles vary, but the text is for the most part accessible. . . . A chronology of events follows the entries . . . this is a very valuable reference tool, synthesizing a wealth of material on a complex subject. It is an essential addition for academic and public libraries; secondary school libraries should consider it too." Reference Books Bulletin "Written by a veritable 'who's who' among historians of the subject (some 200 of them), the nearly 300 signed, alphabetically arranged entries to people, places, and themes fluidly integrate narrative and interpretative history on slavery. Excellent indexing and cross-referencing, select bibliographies, and helpful tables, maps, and a chronology enhance this comprehensive work, whichreflects the historiography of slavery over the past 25 years."-Library Journal
"This is a reprinting of and extraordinarily useful reference book (first published by Greenwood Press in 1988) that belongs on the personal bookshelf of everyone teaching southern history or the history of blacks in the United States....Having this volume available in paperback should make it accessible to the large audience that it deserves."-Journal of Southern History
"Covering a wide selection of topics, terms, historical events, legal cases, and biographies, this reference work contains more than three hundred articles treating regional differences and significant changes in American slavery from the first English settlement to Reconstruction. Bibliographies are provided for most entries. For the researcher working on African-American subjects, this volume provides a convenient, almost comprehensive, encyclopedia of key people and events."-National Genealogical Society Quarterly
"This is a thick book crowded with fascinating data. Libraries especially -- public, high school, and college -- should find it the first reference for people looking into any aspect on slavery. And yet there is enough detail for those who have already read widely on the subject. The "almost 300 articles" provide not just an overview of slavery, but innumerable details and a wealth of references. Contributors are some of the most noted scholars in the field and while the entries are inevitably of mixed quality, they are generally excellent. . . ."-South Carolina Historical Magazine
"This is a beautifully crafted reference book. Enlisting the talents of more than two hundred scholars, Randall Miller and John David Smith have compiled an invaluable interpretive and factual survey of Afro-American slavery. The list of contributors reads like a "Who's Who" of slavery studies, and the overall quality of the entries, of which there are nearly three hundred, is unusually high for a volume of this kind....Unlike most reference works, this is a book that can be read profitably from cover to cover. No one could come away from such a reading without appreciating the scope and sophistication of recent scholarship on Afro-American slavery."-Register of the Kentucky Historical Society
"The Dictionary of Afro-American Slavery will be an enormously valuable historical reference tool. The editors have assembled a remarkable group of contributors to write the entries, and I was struck over and over again as I read the individual selections with the care, insight, and scholarly acumen the authors have brought to their topics. I think it is safe to say that no self-respecting reference library will want to be without this volume, and I would predict the same for anyone seriously interested in the history of slavery in the American South. The breadth of coverage in the Dictionary is extraordinarily comprehensive; every topic that came to my mind was covered and covered well, and the value of the entries is enhanced by the excellent select bibliographies that follow each entry. . . . This volume really will prove essential to all of us who think the study of southern slavery is vital for understanding the historical experience of both black and white America."-Charles B. Dew Professor of American Studies Williams College
?It is hard to imagine better introductions to a whole variety of complex issues, each with its own hotly contested historiographical battlegrounds, than are provided by these authoritative, judicious and generally well-written essays....[T]he quality of the articles maintains an extremely high standard.?-Times Literary Supplement

Dictionary of Afro-Amrican Slavery
By Eduardo Espinoza
Not your standard short paragraph dictionary, this book offers straight forward explanations, embracing references from the past and insights not found in most secondary school text books. Would recommend as a good reference source offering unbiased information about our early American history and culture.
