A newly edited collection of the seminal writings and speeches of a
legendary writer, orator, and civil rights leader. The life of
Frederick Douglass is nothing less than the history of America in
the 19th century from slavery to reconstruction. His influence was
felt in the political sphere, major social movements, literary
culture, and even international affairs. His resounding words tell
not only his own remarkable story, but also that of a burgeoning
nation forced to reckon with its tremulous moral ground. This
compact volume offers a full course on a necessary historical
figure, giving voice once again to a man whose guiding words are
needed now as urgently as ever. The Portable Frederick Douglass
includes the full range of Douglass's writings, from
autobiographical writings that span from his life as a slave child
to his memories of slavery as an elder statesman in the late 1870s;
his protest fiction (one of the first works of African American
fiction); his brilliant oratory, constituting the greatest speeches
of the Civil War era, which launched his political career; and his
journalistic essays that range from cultural and political critique
toart, literature, law, history, philosophy, and reform.
