Synopsis
Slaves Without Masters is a vivid and moving history of the quarter of a million free blacks who lived in the South before the Civil War. First published to great acclaim in 1974, Slaves Without Masters established Ira Berlin as one of the outstanding historians of African American life in slavery and freedom. It traces the lives of free black men and women, portraying their struggle for community, liberty, economic independence, and education within an oppressive society.

Reviews
Slaves Without Masters breaks new ground in the description and interpretation of southern history. . . Berlin's sensitivity to changes over time, to the expansion of freedom and its restriction, gives his book a fidelity to human experience, and ought to make it a model of narrative history.
