Many of the authors in this collection have never been assembled
together before. They represent both black and white voices, of
different cultural backgrounds, from the beginnings of American
history through the Dawn of the Harlem Renaissance.
Until the late 1960s, the traditional American literary canon
was segregated. Moreover, writings of widely anthologized authors
rarely touched on race. Not until the 1980s did studies begin to
reflect the multicultural diversity of the United States.
Ironically, while mainstream anthologies became more inclusive and
integrated, Afro-American literature collections concentrated on
black authors excluded from the traditional Anglo-American
canon.
From Bondage to Liberation attempts a literary and cultural
bridge across the racial divide. This book represents new and
important views, through the lens of Faith Berry's narratives, of
such well-known figures as Abraham Lincoln, Harriet Beecher Stowe,
Mark Twain, Frederick Douglass, and many others. It presents an
unflinching, multifaceted examination of the literary history of
race relations in the United States, and thereby gives us a better
understanding of where we have come from spiritually, socially, and
economically -- and where we may be going.
