Paperback Books in SOUTHERN DIALECT
In 1995, the first books from the book series entitled I WAS A SLAVE were published. In the interviews, the former American slaves used delicious southern dialect, which is retained throughout each book. Each book of the series is filled with their unedited descriptions of just one subject, such as one book just about children or another concerning auctions. These books continue their popularity throughout America and many countries. Learn more about I WAS A SLAVE.
