      About This Book

      Tracing the thread of slavery from 1500s Timbuktu up to the Civil War, Song of Slaves in the Desert explores one man's struggle with the legacy of slavery and the loyalty of family, brought into sharp focus as he finds himself attracted to one young slave woman. A masterful writer, Alan Cheuse grapples with the nether parts of our history and the wild nature of love, especially by those held closest in chains.
