Truth's narrative is a powerful rendering of bondage, denial, and
loss transcended by genius, family, and a spiritual base. It
juxtaposes spirituality with moral turpitude. Truth was a
freethinker who lived within a family of wretched circumstances in
New York's Ulster County; she was a wife whose runaway husband had
been beated into submission; a mother who reclaimed her only son
from a brutal Georgia slaver; a person of principles who was duped
by slavers and false prophets; and, finally, at 46, an orator,
abolitionist, and member of the Northampton utopian community. As a
companion to Truth's narrative, Washington presents a cogent,
well-crafted introduction full of historical information that
sketches a framework for understanding slavery as it was practiced
in the Northeast. This slender book belongs in all literature and
history collections.
