From Sundown To Sunup: The Making Of The Black Community by George P. Rawick

Contributions in Afro-American and African Studies, No. 11. George P. Rawick’s From Sundown to Sunup traces the history of Afro-Americans, and in doing so shatters many of the myths that have surrounded the subject. Contrary to the common assumption that the enslaved Afro-Americans were passive subjects, they were, Rawick demonstrates, active and vital subjects of their own history. He cites as evidence the abundant records left by ex-slaves — the slave narratives as recorded by the Federal Writers Project of the Works Progress Administration and Fisk University in the 1920s and 1930s — which show that they developed their own social structure and an awareness of their situation and the means necessary to survive within it.
