He was an abolitionist, a writer, and an orator who became a great social reformer and statesman. Perhaps even more important, he served as a powerful counter-example to white Americans who believed black people could not be their equals. Douglass dedicated his life to the pursuit of freedom and equality for not just African Americans, but for all people, of all races, male and female. The Historian's Narrative of Frederick Douglass: Reading Douglass's Autobiography as Social and Cultural History covers the first decades of Frederick Douglass's life, from his childhood through his escape from slavery in 1838 and his early years as a fiery abolitionist speaker in the North. The book provides readers with the necessary biographical and historical context to better understand and fully appreciate the Douglass's classic memoir. Readers will learn about slavery, the abolitionist movement, efforts of resistance to slavery and escape from it, and the great importance of literacy in combating slavery. The book is written in accessible language that will engage high school and college students as well as general readers, but deals with challenging and provocative concepts. 600 10 $a Douglass, Frederick, $d 1818-1895. $t Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass, an American slave. 650 0 $a Slaves' writings, American $x Study and teaching. 650 0 $a African American abolitionists $v Biography. 650 0 $a Slaves $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Slavery $z United States $x Study and teaching. $x Study and teaching. 700 12 $a Felgar, Robert. $t Historian's narrative of Frederick Douglass. 700 12 $a Douglass, Frederick, $d 1818-1895. $t Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass, an American slave. 830 0 $a Historian's annotated classics. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021025812.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230706014046.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829014659.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5083534CC38A11E7B100357297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
