Frederick Douglass spent four months in Ireland at the end of 1845
that proved to be, in his own words, 'transformative'. He reported
that for the first time in his life he felt like a man, and not a
chattel. Whilst in residence, he became a spokesperson for the
abolition movement, but by the time he left the country in early
January 1846, he believed that the cause of the slave was the cause
of the oppressed everywhere. This book adds new insight into
Frederick Douglass and his time in Ireland. Contemporary newspaper
accounts of the lectures that Douglass gave during his tour of
Ireland (in Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Limerick, and
Belfast) have been located and transcribed. The speeches are
annotated and accompanied by letters written by Douglass during his
stay. In this way, for the first time, we hear Douglass in his own
words. This unique approach allows us to follow the journey of the
young man who, while in Ireland, discovered his own voice.
