Narrative of Sojourner Truth is one of the most important documents of slavery ever written; as well as being a partial autobiography of the woman who became a pioneer in the struggles for racial and sexual equality. With an eloquence that resonates more than a century after its original publication in 1850; the narrative bears witness to Sojourner Truth's thirty years of bondage in upstate New York and to the mystical revelations that turned her into a passionate and indefatigable abolitionist.In this new edition; which has been edited and extensively annotated by the distinguished scholar and biographer of Sojourner Truth; Margaret Washington; Truth's testimony takes on added dimensions: as a lens into the little-known world of northern slavery; as a chronicle of spiritual conversion; and as an inspiring account of a black woman striving for personal and political empowerment.

Controversial TopicBy A Reader"Race and Manifest Destiny" gives an uncommon view about some of the potential force behind the extensions in "North America".

However; there is not a lot of academic research which can be of assistance in this matter.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
