Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “We’ve railed against injustice for decade upon decade, a lifetime of struggle and progress and enlightenment that we see etched in Fredrick Douglass’s mighty, leonine gaze.” -Barack Obama “My Bondage and my Freedom, besides giving a fresh impulse to antislavery literature, shows upon its pages the untiring industry of the ripe scholar.”-William Wells Brown My Bondage and my Freedom (1845), a classic of American History writing and one of the most influential and ennobling autobiographies ever written, was composed while Fredrick Douglas was at his heights as an orator and writer. At the time of writing, Douglass had also reached the pinnacle of his work as a leader in the abolitionist movement and as an influential newspaper publisher. This incisive and eloquent book is at once an extraordinary story of resilience and a meditation on power, education, and freedom. The depictions of Fredrick Douglass’s early life on a Maryland slave plantation, the series of relocations and abuses under various overseers, and his eventual freedom are an extraordinarily vivid portrait of the United States leading up to the beginning of the Civil War. My Bondage and my Freedom is a brilliant account of a singular life and as well as a scathing reproach to one of the darkest episodes of American history. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of My Bondage and my Freedom is both modern and readable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry Louis Gates, Jr. presents the only authoritative edition of all three autobiographies by the escaped slave who became a great American leader. Here in this Library of America volume are collected Frederick Douglass's three autobiographical narratives, now recognized as classics of both American history and American literature. Writing with the eloquence and fierce intelligence that made him a brilliantly effective spokesman for the abolition of slavery and equal rights, Douglass shapes an inspiring vision of self-realization in the face of monumental odds. Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave (1845), published seven years after his escape, was written in part as a response to skeptics who refused to believe that so articulate an orator could ever have been a slave. A powerfully compressed account of the cruelty and oppression of the Maryland plantation culture into which Douglass was born, it brought him to the forefront of the anti-slavery movement and drew thousands, black and white, to the cause. In My Bondage and My Freedom (1855), Douglass expands the account of his slave years. With astonishing psychological penetration, he probes the painful ambiguities and subtly corrosive effects of black-white relations under slavery, and recounts his determined resistance to segregation in the North. The book also incorporates extracts from Douglass’s speeches, including the searing “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” Life and Times, first published in 1881, records Douglass’s efforts to keep alive the struggle for racial equality udirng Reconstruction. John Brown, Abraham Lincoln, William Lloyd Garrison, and Harriet Beecher Stowe all feature prominently in this chronicle of a crucial epoch in American history. The revised edition of 1893, presented here, includes an account of his controversial diplomatic mission to Haiti. This volume contains a detailed chronology of Douglass’s life, notes providing further background on the events and people mentioned, and an account of the textual history of each of the autobiographies.

Download or read book The Heroic Slave written by Fredrick Douglass and published by Courier Dover Publications. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Famed abolitionist Frederick Douglass based his only fictional work on the gripping true story of the biggest slave rebellion in U.S. history. The Heroic Slave was inspired by a courageous uprising led by Madison Washington in 1841. Washington rallied 18 of the 135 slaves aboard a ship bound for New Orleans, the country's primary slave-trading market. The mutineers seized control, landing the ship in the British-controlled Bahamas, where their freedom was recognized. Originally published nearly a decade before the Civil War, Douglass's novella was one of the earliest examples of African-American fiction. Douglass presents Madison Washington's heroism less as a matter of violent escape and more as a voluntary act of claiming self-ownership. Douglass's retelling encouraged readers to engage in the abolitionist cause. It captivated readers by equating black slaves' rebellion against tyranny with the spirit and democratic ideals of the American Revolution.

Download or read book Freedom as Marronage written by Neil Roberts and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the opposite of freedom? In Freedom as Marronage, Neil Roberts answers this question with definitive force: slavery, and from there he unveils powerful new insights on the human condition as it has been understood between these poles. Crucial to his investigation is the concept of marronage—a form of slave escape that was an important aspect of Caribbean and Latin American slave systems. Examining this overlooked phenomenon—one of action from slavery and toward freedom—he deepens our understanding of freedom itself and the origin of our political ideals. Roberts examines the liminal and transitional space of slave escape in order to develop a theory of freedom as marronage, which contends that freedom is fundamentally located within this space—that it is a form of perpetual flight. He engages a stunning variety of writers, including Hannah Arendt, W. E. B. Du Bois, Angela Davis, Frederick Douglass, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and the Rastafari, among others, to develop a compelling lens through which to interpret the quandaries of slavery, freedom, and politics that still confront us today. The result is a sophisticated, interdisciplinary work that unsettles the ways we think about freedom by always casting it in the light of its critical opposite.

Book excerpt: "How can you expect to be called out of the darkness and into the marvelous light if you've never been through the darkest places in life?"Mary Barber has lived a life. From the gritty streets of Detroit to her ministry in Los Angeles - the light of Christ has kept her and sustained her through addiction, death, divorce and the darkest of times. She has loved fiercely and lost hard - despite it all, she comes out on top every time with her trademark infectious smile and boundless positivity in the face of the enemy. This is her story, her testimony to how she conquered it all through Christ."I had to learn on this journey to stop complaining about what we don't have, and what people don't do for us. Start thanking God for what you do have, and work with what you've got so that he can surround you with the right divine connection to get you to the next dimension. You might not see the external work, but as he works on you, and you allow yourself to be used as a vessel and move self out the way, the internal will start changing." Mary Barber is an author, evangelist, entrepreneur and radio host. She hails from a large family in Detroit. Her upbringing challenged and strengthened her through both intense low points and amazing highs that shaped her into the passionate and determined woman she is today. With her children grown, she fulfilled a life-long calling to move to California and minister under Bishop Charles E. Blake. Mary loves living in California and knows that her faith walk has guided her to her home. She gained her Associate of Applied Science in Surgical Technology in Michigan and has worked extensively as a traveling nurse. Mary is passionate about encouraging, motivating and coaching others to achieve their dreams and overcome their circumstances - she also completed her Missionary Evangelist License and is getting ordained in 2020. She credits her father, Leroy with setting the example as an engaged and loving man who raised her with integrity and stood passionately by her mother's side for 50 years. When she isn't winning souls for Christ, Mary loves to travel, spend time with family, eat good food, write, exercise, meditate, go to the beach, bowl and watch movies to relax and unwind. Her dream is to open a transitional home for the disabled and mentally ill, and to build her own Mission Ministry in foreign countries to help those in need. Mary has 2 grown children and 5 grandchildren. This is Mary's first book.

This book was released on 2018-03-04 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Bondage and My Freedom is an autobiographical slave narrative written by Frederick Douglass and published in 1855. It is the second of three autobiographies written by Douglass, and is mainly an expansion of his first (Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass), discussing in greater detail his transition from bondage to liberty. Following this liberation, Douglass, a former slave, went on to become a prominent abolitionist, speaker, author, and publisher. In his foreword to the 2003 Modern Library paperback edition, John Stauffer writes: "My Bondage and My Freedom," [is] a deep meditation on the meaning of slavery, race, and freedom, and on the power of faith and literacy, as well as a portrait of an individual and a nation a few years before the Civil War. As his narrative unfolds, Frederick Douglass-abolitionist, journalist, orator, and one of the most powerful voices to emerge from the American civil rights movement-transforms himself from slave to fugitive to reformer, leaving behind a legacy of social, intellectual, and political thought. The 1855 text includes Douglass's original Appendix, composed of excerpts from the author's speeches as well as a letter he wrote to his former master. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

Download or read book My Bondage and My Freedom / Life As a Freeman written by Frederick Douglass and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-07-29 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Bondage and My Freedom by Frederick Douglass.... In the history of his life in bondage, we find, well developed, that inherent and continuous energy of character which will ever render him distinguished. What his hand found to do, he did with his might; even while conscious that he was wronged out of his daily earnings, he worked, and worked hard. At his daily labor he went with a will; with keen, well set eye, brawny chest, lithe figure, and fair sweep of arm, he would have been king among calkers, had that been his mission. It must not be overlooked, in this glance at his education, that Mr. Douglass lacked one aid to which so many men of mark have been deeply indebted-he had neither a mother's care, nor a mother's culture, save that which slavery grudgingly meted out to him. Bitter nurse! may not even her features relax with human feeling, when she gazes at such offspring! How susceptible he was to the kindly influences of mother-culture, may be gathered from his own words: "It has been a life-long standing grief to me, that I know so little of my mother, and that I was so early separated from her. The counsels of her love must have been beneficial to me. The side view of her face is imaged on my memory, and I take few steps in life, without feeling her presence; but the image is mute, and I have no striking words of hers treasured up."
