Unrequited Toil: A History of United States Slavery

Dr. Calvin Schermerhorn has consulted numerous texts and archival materials to provide a narrative account of slavery in the United States. Unrequited Toil: A History of United States Slavery examines the impact that slavery had on the American economy and slavery’s lasting effects on African American culture. Included in this collection are the many books used to research this account as well as reproductions of local newspapers, bills of sale, and other primary sources that Dr. Schermerhorn consulted.

The ASU Library acknowledges the twenty-three Native Nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. Arizona State University's four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) Indian Communities, whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today. ASU Library acknowledges the sovereignty of these nations and seeks to foster an environment of success and possibility for Native American students and patrons. We are advocates for the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge systems and research methodologies within contemporary library practice. ASU Library welcomes members of the Akimel O’odham and Pee Posh, and all Native nations to the Library.
