I am very pleased to announce that  "World of a Slave:  Encyclopedia of
the Material Life of Slaves in the United States" (ABC-CLIO/Greenwood),
is now available from ABC-CLIO and the usual sources.  There is an ebook
version available directly from the publisher.

It was also featured in the Jan. 7th antiques column of the New York Times;

My deep thanks to all of those Virginia History members who contributed to
the
encyclopedia or who gave me words of encouragement as my co-editor and I
labored to finish it!

Independent Curator
