»Wer Amerika verstehen will, muss dieses Buch lesen.« Barack Obama
Frederick Douglass ist eine Ikone des afroamerikanischen Befreiungskampfes – mit seiner 1845 erschienenen Autobiographie, die jetzt in einer neuen ?bersetzung vorliegt, wurde er schlagartig ber?hmt. Darin blickt er auf sein Leben in der Sklaverei zur?ck. Er erz?hlt vom Alltag der Ausgebeuteten, den Herrschaftsstrukturen auf den Plantagen und den kleinen Fluchten, die ihm das Leben als Diener einer Familie erm?glichte. Als Junge lernte er heimlich Lesen und erfuhr so immer mehr ?ber Unterdr?ckung und Ausbeutung der Schwarzen. Schlie?lich gelang ihm die Flucht – und eine aufsehenerregende Karriere als Aktivist gegen die Sklaverei und als Politiker begann. Seine Schilderungen f?hren auf die Tabakplantagen Marylands und in die H?fen Baltimores. Dabei beschreibt Douglass die Brutalit?t der Aufseher, die Lebensumst?nde der Sklaven, ihre Solidarit?t untereinander – und nicht zuletzt seinen m?hseligen Weg in die Freiheit. Ganz nebenbei entsteht das Portr?t einer starken Pers?nlichkeit, die sich schon in jungen Jahren f?r Freiheit und Gerechtigkeit einsetzt – mit einer unverwechselbaren Stimme.

Nacido como esclavo, Frederick Douglass se educó, escapó y se convirtió en uno de los más grandes líderes de la historia de Estados Unidos. Aquí, en este volumen de la Biblioteca de América, se recopilan sus tres narraciones autobiográficas, ahora reconocidas como clásicos de la historia y la literatura estadounidense. Escribiendo con la elocuencia y la inteligencia feroz que lo convirtieron en un portavoz brillantemente efectivo para la abolición de la esclavitud y la igualdad de derechos, Douglass da forma a una visión inspiradora de autorrealización frente a las probabilidades monumentales.La narrativa de la vida de Frederick Douglass, un esclavo estadounidense (1845), publicada siete años después de su fuga, fue escrita en parte como una respuesta a los escépticos que se negaron a creer que un orador tan articulado podría haber sido esclavo. Una descripción poderosamente comprimida de la crueldad y la opresión de la cultura de plantación de Maryland en la que nació Douglass, lo llevó a la vanguardia del movimiento contra la esclavitud y atrajo a miles, en blanco y negro, a la causa.

"African American history is the part of American history that looks at the history of African Americans or Black Americans.

Of the 10.7 million Africans who were brought to the Americas until the 1860s, 450 thousand were shipped to what is now the United States.

Most African Americans are descended from Africans who were brought directly from Africa to America and became slaves. The future slaves were originally captured in African wars or raids and transported in the Atlantic slave trade.

Our collection includes the following of works:

He became the most influencal African American of the 19th century. In three very notable autobiographies he wrote about his struggles and experiences.

"Experience has taught us that it is sometimes wise and necessary to have more than two witnesses to bring out the whole truth. Especially is this the case where one of such witnesses has a powerful motive for suppressing or distorting the facts, as in this case. I therefore insist upon my right to take the witness stand and give my version of this Southern question, and though it shall widely differ from that of both the North and South, I shall submit the same to the candid judgment of all who hear me in full confidence that it will be received as true, by honest men and women of both sections of this Republic." – Frederick Douglass
