Харриет Джейкобс - все книги по циклам и сериям | Книги по порядку

"African American history is the part of American history that looks at the history of African Americans or Black Americans.

Of the 10.7 million Africans who were brought to the Americas until the 1860s, 450 thousand were shipped to what is now the United States.

Most African Americans are descended from Africans who were brought directly from Africa to America and became slaves. The future slaves were originally captured in African wars or raids and transported in the Atlantic slave trade.

Our collection includes the following of works:

Narrative Of The Life by Frederic Douglas. The impassioned abolitionist and eloquent orator provides graphic descriptions of his childhood and horrifying experiences as a slave as well as a harrowing record of his dramatic escape to the North and eventual freedom.

Incidents In The Life Of A Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs. Powerful by portrayal of the brutality of slave life through the inspiring tale of one woman's dauntless spirit and faith.

Up From Slavery by Booker T. Washington. Washington rose to become the most influential spokesman for African Americans of his day. He describes events in a remarkable life that began in slavery and culminated in worldwide recognition."

"Я родилась рабыней" — реальная история и одно из немногих сохранившихся произведений о рабстве, написанных женщиной. Впервые опубликована в 1861 году под псевдонимом Линды Брент. Это автобиография Харриет Джейкобс — рабыни, не смирившейся со своей участью и бежавшей из рабства, сага о жизни чернокожих рабов и сентиментальный женский роман под одной обложкой. История о целеустремленности и храбрости Линды стала классикой американской литературы и продолжает просвящать и вдохновлять и по сей день.

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.
