Critic reviews
"A tour de force....explaining what has made slavery's consequences so much a part of contemporary American culture and politics." (New York Times Book Review)
"The broader perspective on American slavery, its social and economic impact on the growth of the U.S., forces readers to face the contradictions between our democratic ideals and economic impulses." (Booklist)
"Davis...succeeds heroically in wrestling a vast amount of material from diverse cultures. The result is a sinewy book that combines erudition and everyday detail into a gripping, often surprising, narrative." (Wall Street Journal)

I found the narrator terrible. He has a sing-song method of speaking with his voice rising at the beginning of a sentence and falling at the end. After a while, it drove me somewhat crazy, but I persisted due to the majesty of Mr. Davis' work. The book deserves to be read widely, but it would be great if a better narrator could be found.
Enlightening story. Terrible narrator.

What did you love best about Inhuman Bondage?
This book taught me more about the history of slavery than I have learned in a lifetime. It's a fascinating story, with perspective about the story of slavery that I thoroughly enjoyed learning. Slavery has been interwoven in the human experience for thousands of years, but the evolution and development of race slavery was a special case. This book is one of the best and most interesting history books that I read or listened to.What about Raymond Todd’s performance did you like?
Todd has a great reading voice. I enjoyed listening to him.A History That I Learned Nowhere Else

While some of the material in the book has been well covered elsewhere, some of it is rare and rarer yet have been attempts to bring to together a number of the disparate parts under this cover. The book is extremely well read.
