Edward E. Baptist’s The Half Has Never Been Told is a compelling work of pop-history, which situates chattel slavery at the heart of American capitalism, industrialization, and modernization. Indeed, in order to understand the meteoric rise and dominance of the United States on the global stage, it is necessary to examine the central role that slavery played in the country’s social, political, cultural, and economic development. The book sports an unorthodox, yet equally compelling structure, which divides the narrative into chapters corresponding to segmented body parts. For instance, there are chapters for “The Heart”, “Feet”, “Heads”, “Right Hand”, “Left Hand”, and so on, each reflecting the ways in which the enslaved African-American body was broken down, objectified, commodified, and fetishized. For the “whipping machine” of chattel slavery wasn’t just aimed at ‘slaves’, like some nebulous disembodied abstraction, but real, concrete human bodies. On the surface, this may seem like an obvious point, but it’s not. The particulars of history can be quickly swallowed up in the sheer enormity of human suffering, especially when we are dealing with atrocities on the level of slavery. Baptist tries his best to convey this complex materiality, while also reminding his audience that each slave was a person . We are physical bodies, to be sure, but we are physical bodies with rich inner lives. There is an emotional and psychological depth, a private experience of the world, that cannot be reduced to any purely objective description. Although it’s a delicate balance to maintain, I think that Baptist’s efforts pay off. The Half Has Never Been Told is well worth the read.
