I don't remember where I heard about this book, but I was excited to hear about it. The book is a pretty quick read, I managed to knock it out over the course of a couple of days. I do appreciate this book as it attempts to present an oft-unheard facet of U.S. history. I do not agree that everything in the book was "untold." While some of the information was new, a lot of it was a condensed version of narratives which could be found elsewhere.The book was also lacking in the sort of academic rigor that one may expect from a history book. The bibliography was scant and there were virtually no citations. It's impossible to reference his sources or verify that the information presented is even correct. This was perhaps the most problematic part of the book for me. Sometimes, the author would say where the quotes came from, a newspaper article, or letter, etc. Most commonly though, quotes were inserted into the text with no means of knowing where they were sourced. Similarly, the author would often use phrases such as "it is thought that" or "some researchers say." Who thinks that? What researchers say that?There was little to tie each chapter together. While interesting on their own, the book read more as a series of stories or essays with no relation to one another. It would have been nice to see the author weave a common theme through the chapters so that they were cohesive and complementary to one another. Therein lies a big issue with the book. What was the author's argument? Did he have an argument? I hate to be so constructive in my criticism, but a history book needs some thesis. What is the author's claim? How will he prove the claim? What source material will he draw from?Lastly, I wasn't too impressed with the prose. Many times, it was difficult to know whom or what the author was speaking about. Pronoun references were confusing at times, and I was forced to read sentences or paragraphs a few times before I could figure out what the author was trying to present. It was a little surprising, given the author's background in nonfiction writing.Now, all of that said, this is a great book as it does present information that is often overlooked in the story of the U.S.A. As a student of history, much of the information in the book wasn't new, so much as an amalgam of other histories in one place. For people who aren't history nerds, this book will provide a lot of new information relating to slavery in the United States. The sheer dearth of narratives dedicated to slaves as individuals, as human beings, means that even with its few shortcomings, The Invisibles serves an important purpose in providing context to a complicated time in the nation's history, and the complicated men who led from its founding.
I love stories about unknown people who contributed to projects we know about. What's a bigger project than the White House and early America? Finally putting a name to some of the slaves, some of the people, who lived and helped our first Presidents is incredible. There are concrete stories that may change your mind a little about some of those Presidents. All through the book is woven freedom. The contradictory story of the Founding Fathers and how the early Presidents (except the two Adamses) couldn't reconcile their love of freedom with their financial or racial need to put Africans, and later, African-Americans, in a different category. And how all the slaves, no matter how well treated and comfortable their lives were would have traded everything for freedom.There is also history about the introduction of slavery into America that I didn't know and some history about the early US I didn't know. Really an important read.
I really enjoyed this. It is well researched & well written & I learned a lot. It had never occurred to me that there had been slaves in the White House, I don't know why. It's obvious, when you think about it. There was one story that I was disappointed was missing, tho. I saw it on Finding Your Roots. My memory is no longer good & I can't remember a lot of the details. It was the ancestry of a young fella currently in the music industry. I had heard his name but do not keep w up w/ popular music so I was unfamiliar w/ him. But, his ancestor had been a slave butler in the WH. Someone came & took him away saying he was free but he went back to continue being the butler, much to the disbelief of his descendant. There was even a photo of him. Unfortunately I don't remember his name or who that president was. I believe this is an important book. The author hopes to update it one day as he uncovers more stories & I look forward to that. I've been reading a lot of slave stories lately & think this is something we all need to know more about so I appreciate that this book was written.
This book gives one a glimpse of the role slaves had in respect to the building of the White House and the presidents who owned them. It sheds light on presidents who expounded on personal freedom and liberty for all except Africa Americans whom they held in bondage. The high regard people have for some of these founding fathers is tainted by their disregard for persons of color. This is evidenced by the efforts they took to keep their servants as slaves although it is noted that a few presidents endeared their slaves to them for a lifetime. It is worth reading to gain a more realistic understanding of the times and lives of US presidents.
I felt that the author did a good job of writing on a topic in which there is probably little information. He did some digging to come up with the information he wrote about. I appreciated the fact that the author was simply wrote history without grinding some ax, although he strongly made his point, and one that should be made, that is, unknown, unnamed slaves played a major role in the formation of our country.As I read I wondered about the inner turmoil, and the mental and moral acrobatics some of the early presidents must have used to justify their actions. On the one hand they spoke for, and fought for freedom and the rights of people, but totally disregarded the rights and feelings of the people that served them. For example, the personal slave of James Madison promised to be free at Madison's death, only to be sold by Dolly because she needed money. How could you live with yourself after doing that, unless if you view that person as not a truly a person. Or, another example is John Tyler's bad treatment of his personal slave who actually was the half-brother of Tyler's wife. What a weird household that must have been.Overall it was a very interesting book.
