This volume collects ten works published between 17: Slave Narratives shows how a diverse group of writers challenged the conscience of a nation and, through their expression of anger, pain, sorrow, and courage, laid the foundations of the African-American literary tradition. They demonstrate the power of the written word to affirm a person’s-and a people’s-humanity in a society poisoned by racism. The works collected in this volume present unflinching portrayals of the cruelty and degradation of slavery while testifying to the African-American struggle for freedom and dignity. No literary genre speaks as directly and as eloquently to the brutal contradictions in American history as the slave narrative. Your credit card will not be charged until the book is shipped.
