520    "An new historical anthology from transatlantic slavery to
       the Reconstruction curated by the Schomburg Center, that 
       makes the case for focusing on the histories of Black 
       people as agents and architects of their own lives and 
       ultimate liberation, with a foreword by Kevin Young. This 
       is the first Penguin Classics anthology published in 
       partnership with the Schomburg Center, a world-renowned 
       cultural institution documenting black life in America and
       worldwide. A historic branch of NYPL located in Harlem, 
       the Schomburg holds one of the world's premiere 
       collections of slavery material within the Lapidus Center 
       for Historical Analysis of Transatlantic Slavery. Unsung 
       will place well-known documents by abolitionists alongside
       lesser-known life stories and overlooked or previously 
       uncelebrated accounts of the everyday lives and activism 
       that were central in the slavery era, but that are mostly 
       excised from today's master accounts. Unsung will also 
       highlight related titles from founder Arturo Schomburg's 
       initial collection: rare histories and first-person 
       narratives about slavery that assisted his generation in 
       understanding the roots of their contemporary social 
       struggles. Unsung will draw from the Schomburg's rich 
       holdings in order to lead a dynamic discussion of slavery,
       rebellion, resistance, and anti-slavery protest in the 
       United States"--|cProvided by publisher.
