One of the foremost African American intellectual leaders of the
late 19th and early 20th centuries, Booker T. Washington, an
educator, author, and orator, is best known for his advocacy of
black progress through education and entrepreneurship. The Norton
Library edition of his seminal autobiography, Up from Slavery,
features the text of the first (1901) edition, explanatory
endnotes, and an introduction by Jarvis R. Givens that highlights
Washington’s life and work, discusses and contextualizes his
strategies for racial uplift, and invites a nuanced reading of an
author often dismissed for his “conservative” ideology.
