Edward Baptists new book, The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery And The Making Of American Capitalism, drew a lot of attention last month after the Economist said it was too hard on slave owners. What you might not have taken away from the ensuing media storm is that The Half Has Never Been Told is quite a gripping read. Baptist weaves deftly between analysis of economic data and narrative prose to paint a picture of American slavery that is pretty different from what you may have learned in high school Social Studies class. huffingtonpost/2014/10/23/the-half-has-never-been-told_n_6036840.html Please VISIT, SHARE, & LIKE facebook/theurbanvoice
