A classic of historical anthropology, First-Time traces the shape of historical thought among peoples who had previously been denied any history at all. Each page of the book presents a transcript of oral histories told by living Saramakas about their eighteenth-century ancestors along with commentary from Price that places their accounts into a broader historical context.
Richard Price is the Duane A. and Virginia S. Dittman Professor of American Studies, Anthropology, and History at the College of William and Mary. He is the author of Alabi's World, which won the 1993 J. I. Staley Prize from the School of American Research. First-Time won the 1984 Elsie Clews Parsons Prize from the American Folklore Society.
