Book Description
This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition combines the two most important African American slave narratives into one volume.
Frederick Douglass's Narrative, first published in 1845, is an enlightening and incendiary text. Born into slavery, Douglass became the preeminent spokesman for his people during his life; his narrative is an unparalleled account of the dehumanizing effects of slavery and Douglass's own triumph over it. Like Douglass, Harriet Jacobs was born into slavery, and in 1861 she published Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, now recognized as the most comprehensive antebellum slave narrative written by a woman. Jacobs's account broke the silence on the exploitation of African American female slaves, and it remains crucial reading. These narratives illuminate and inform each other. This edition includes an incisive Introduction by Kwame Anthony Appiah and extensive annotations. --Ce texte fait référence à l'édition Broché .

Ce commentaire fait référence à cette édition : Narrative Of The Life Of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave & Incidents In The Life Of A Slave Girl (Poche)
"Incidents in the life of a slave girl" is a book you will never forget - a powerful eye opener onto the realities of the darkest age of US history. Written by Harriet Jacobs in her later years as she put effort to the anti-slavery cause, the book is a must read for all interested in American history. The true story of the trials she lived as a young slave girl in the South, the ingenuous way she found to defy the system, and how she tried to use one aspect of the system to her advantage. Written in the 19th C. when strictest of Puritan values were the norm, the authoress produced her original manuscript under a pseudonym to protect her reputation given sensitivites of the times.
