Inhuman Bondage: The Rise and Fall of Slavery in the New World
by David Brion Davis
Pulitzer Prize–winner and Yale historian David Brion Davis discusses his 2006 book, Inhuman Bondage: The Rise and Fall of Slavery in the New World. In his opening remarks, delivered at the New-York Historical Society in January 2007, he notes that the book grew out of one of his courses at Yale, which in turn was inspired by a Gilder Lehrman Institute seminar he directed in 1994.
