Deep Like the Rivers: Education in the Slave Quarter Community, 1831-1865 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780393009989)

By the time of the Civil War, Thomas L. Webber shows, American slaves had created for themselves a new and separate culture, combining elements of their African past and their experiences under slavery in the South. How they were able to educate themselves and their children is the story of this book, told in many cases in the words of the slaves themselves.
