Produktbeschreibung

"Baker offers an original blend of self-reflection, cultural inquiry, social critique, and close textual analysis of a classic book in African American history and literature. This is the most revealing study of "Up From Slavery" that I've ever seen and the most personal and self-revealing piece of writing that Baker has ever published."--William L. Andrews, author of "To Tell a Free Story: The First Century of Afro-American Autobiography, 1760-1865"
