Slaves in the Family is a National Book Award–winning work of history and memoir that confronts the legacy of slavery in America. Journalist Edward Ball traces his family’s history as South Carolina plantation owners and, with unflinching honesty, explores the lives of the enslaved people who lived and labored there.
Through meticulous research, archival records, and interviews with descendants of both slaveholders and the enslaved, Ball uncovers painful truths while fostering dialogue and reconciliation. The result is a deeply personal and profoundly important exploration of America’s racial history.
