Born into slavery, Clotel is a white-passing woman who conceals her
identity and uses a disguise to infiltrate a plantation to rescue
her loved ones. It's a story of survival that's deeply rooted in
the cruelest part of American history. Clotel and Althesa are the
illegitimate daughters of Thomas Jefferson and a slave woman named
Currer. Despite their father's elite status, the girls are sold
into slavery but attempt to use their fair complexions to their
advantage. Clotel takes it a step further, dressing as a white man
to emancipate her daughter who was sold against her will. Clotel;
or, The President's Daughter: A Narrative of Slave Life in the
United States is an American tragedy that explores generational
trauma. William Wells Brown, who's considered the first African
American novelist, uses his personal experience to illustrate the
horrors of bondage. It's a heartbreaking tale that tests the
undeniable power of the human spirit. With an eye-catching new
cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of
Clotel; or, The President's Daughter: A Narrative of Slave Life in
the United States is both modern and readable.
