John Jacobs at first sight: notes on a frontispiece. 520 $a "Narratives written by enslaved Africans in America are few in number. Some are transformative, like that of Harriet Jacobs; others are lesser, like the brief one attributed to Harriet's brother, John S. Jacobs. The revelation, here, of a much longer, richer, and more radical version of John's story, is a major historical event. His work is all the more significant for having been written and published in Australia, outside the sanitizing and bowdlerizing influence of the American Abolitionist movement. Jacobs's full account is a startling and clear expression of the true thoughts, words, and wide-ranging experiences of a man once enslaved"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Jacobs, John S., $d 1815-1875. 600 10 $a Jacobs, Harriet A. $q (Harriet Ann), $d 1813-1897. 650 0 $a African Americans $z North Carolina $v Biography. 650 0 $a Fugitive slaves $z North Carolina $v Biography. 650 0 $a Enslaved persons $z North Carolina $v Biography. 650 0 $a Enslaved persons $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Slavery $z North Carolina. 650 0 $a Slavery $z United States. 600 17 $a Jacobs, Harriet A. $q (Harriet Ann), $d 1813-1897 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00009247. 600 17 $a Jacobs, John S., $d 1815-1875 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00440326. 650 7 $a African Americans $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799558. 650 7 $a Enslaved persons $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120522. 650 7 $a Fugitive slaves $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00935940. 650 7 $a Slavery $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120426. 651 7 $a North Carolina $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204304. 651 7 $a United States $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155. 655 7 $a Biographies $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896. 700 1 $a Schroeder, Jonathan $q (D.
