Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs 描述
“One of the major autobiographies of the African-American tradition.”—Henry Louis Gates, Jr. “It has been painful to me, in many ways, to recall the dreary years I passed in bondage. I would gladly forget them if I could. Yet the retrospection is not altogether without solace; for with these gloomy recollections come tender memories of my good old grandmother, like light fleecy clouds floating over a dark and troubled sea.” 《Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl》以介紹開頭,其中作者Harriet Jacobs陳述了她撰寫自傳的原因。她的故事很痛苦,她寧願保密,但她覺得公開可能有助於反奴隸制運動。廢奴主義者莉迪亞·瑪麗亞·查爾德 (Lydia Maria Child) 的序言為這本書提供了類似的案例,並指出它記錄的事件是真實的。 One of the most memorable slave narratives, Harriet Jacobs’s Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl illustrates the overarching evil and pervasive depravity of the institution of slavery. In great and painful detail, Jacobs describes her life as a Southern slave, the exploitation that haunted her daily life, her abuse by her master, the involvement she sought with another white man in order to escape her master, and her determination to win freedom for herself and her children. From her seven years of hiding in a garret that was three feet high, to her harrowing escape north to a reunion with her children and freedom, Jacobs’s Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl remains an outstanding example of one woman’s extraordinary courage in the face of almost unbeatable odds, as well as one of the most significant testimonials in American history. 9780451531469
