Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl and Other Slave Narratives

INCIDENTS IN THE LIFE OF A SLAVE GIRL AND OTHER SLAVE NARRATIVES is a collection of six accounts of slavery from the 18th and 19th centuries, including well-known works by Harriet Jacobs, Frederick Douglass, and Olaudah Equiano, as well as more obscure writings by Louis Hughes, J.W.C. Pennington, and Sojourner Truth. All of these eyewitness accounts give fascinating--and often disturbing--insight into the nature of slavery in the New World.
