Description

Presenting a new perspective on the saga of the enslavement of the Jewish people and their departure from Egypt; this study compares the Jewish experience with that of African-American slaves in the United States; as well as the latter group’s subsequent fight for dignity and equality. This consideration dives deeply into the biblical narrative; using classical and modern commentaries to explore the social; psychological; religious; and philosophical dimensions of the slave experience and mentality. It draws on slave narratives; published letters; eyewitness accounts; and recorded interviews with former slaves; together with historical; sociological; economic; and political analyses of this era. The book explores the five major needs of every long-term victim and journeys through these five stages with the Israelite and the African-American slaves on their historical path toward physical and psychological freedom. This rich; multi-dimensional collage of parallel and contrasting experiences is designed to enrich readers’ understanding of the plight of these two groups.
