在盒子里含为奴十二年、Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl、弗里德里克道格拉斯传、超越奴役、地下铁路记录5个经典作品
它们共同构成了一个强有力的教训,让我们决不能忘记历史。
This boxset of five titles is a forceful reminder of the tremendous impact that the slave trade of the 16th-19th centuries had on those coerced into servitude and, subsequently, their descendants. Through kidnapping, murder and trickery, families were destroyed forever as they were taken from their homelands, split up and treated as less than human. But brutal as their experiences were, there are also powerful stories of indomitable spirits, pioneers, courage and, above all, hope within these pages.
Inside the boxst, you will find the following titles:
? Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas by Frederick Douglas
? Up from Slavery by Booker T. Washington
? The Underground Railway by William Still
? Twelve Years a Slave by Solomon Northup
? Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl Written by Herself by Harriet Jacobs
Together, they form a powerful lesson that we must never forget.
Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) grew up as a slave before his escape along the Underground Railroad to New York City. He became a prominent abolitionist activist and was the first African American to ever receive a nomination for the presidency.
William Still (1821-1902) was a conductor on the Underground Railroad, he helped more than 800 slaves escape their masters and reach freedom in Canada.
哈里特-雅各布斯(1813-1897)于1842年设法从被奴役逃到纽约,十多年后她在《Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl》中讲述了自己的故事。
Harriet Jacobs (1813-1897) managed to escape from servitude to New York in 1842, and a little more than a decade later she told her own story in Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl.
Solomon Northrup (c. 1807-unknown) was born as a free man in New York but was kidnapped and sold into slavery in 1841. After his escape twelve years later, he became a prominent abolitionist. The details of his death remain a mystery.
