DESCRIPTION - This book consists of the unabridged autobiographies of three slaves. They have been selected as the most vivid and beautiful illustrations of the extensive slave-narrative literature. A reading of these volumes will dispel many ancient and current stereotypes about the slave and the slave personality. A literature as diffuse as the slave narratives obviously varies widely in purpose, style, and competence. Some books are works of enduring value in a literary as well as a 'protest' perspective. The autobiographies of Bibb, Brown, and Northup fuse imaginative style with keenness of insight. They are penetrating and self-critical, superior autobiography by any standards, evidence that, in describing his personal life, the sensitive creative writer touches a deeper reality that transcends his individuality. The narratives permit a measure of access to the privacy of a slave's mind and to the conversations that took place in the slave cabin. As such they are crucial evidence of the ideas that passed through a slave's consciousness if not his mouth. Crammed with aggressive humor, they reveal the difficulty of enslaving a man's mind as easily as one enslaves his body. These autobiographies, by men of wisdom and talent, exemplify the slave-narrative literature in its most discerning form. inventory #19346.
