## Description

A critical edition of one of the most influential literary documents in American and African American history “This edition is the most valuable teaching tool on slavery and abolition available today. It is exceptional.”—Nancy Hewitt, Distinguished Professor Emerita, Rutgers University Ideal for independent reading or for coursework in American and African American history, this revised edition of the memoir written by Frederick Douglass (1818–1895) of his life as a slave in pre–Civil War Maryland incorporates a wide range of supplemental materials to enhance students’ understanding of slavery, abolitionism, and the role of race in American society. Offering readers a new appreciation of Douglass’s world, it includes documents relating to the slave narrative genre and to the later career of an essential figure in the nineteenth-century abolition movement.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful Piece of Historic Literature
*by T***S on May 30, 2022*

Order this specific book for my English college class & it was an absolute amazing read as well as insightful. It is pure insanity to know that Oklahoma banned this book from being used in the classroom. It educates you on slavery from the perspective of Frederick Douglass, as well as giving other insight on the response to the publishing of said book. 10/10 amazing read.
