ISBN:  9781644212653 (pbk.) Alternate title:  African-American slave resistance Description:  243 p. : ill. ; 20 cm. Notes:  William Loren Katz (1927-2019) was born in Brooklyn and grew up in Greenwich Village in a progressive family dedicated to social justice. After serving in WWII and attending college on the GI Bill, he became a teacher in New York for many years. The author of more than 40 books, many for younger readers, he documented the often overlooked contributions of Black and Indigenous people through history. Through his scholarship and educational outreach, he helped to refashion social studies curriculums across the country, encouraging the histories of minorities and women to be part of American history courses rather than siloed into their own fields of study. In one of his best-known books, Black Indians, he wrote, “I have been humbled by the awesome task of rejecting bias. I have never sought bland neutrality and have consoled myself that unbiased history has yet to be written.” Robin D. G. Kelley is Distinguished Professor and Gary B. Nash Endowed Chair in U.S. History at UCLA. He is the author of many books including Africa Speaks, America Answers: Modern Jazz in Revolutionary Times and Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an American Original. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "In 'Breaking the Chains' a celebrated historian and children's book author, William Loren Katz offers a thoroughly researched look at the lives of enslaved people in the United States. From their African abductions, through their brave resistance to and escape from the ships and harsh plantation life, to their roles in the Civil War, those given voice here show that the slaves themselves were a driving force behind their emancipation."--From publisher.
