<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Introduction by Kwame Anthony Appiah</b><br> <b>Commentary by Jean Fagan Yellin and Margaret Fuller</b><br> <b><i> </i></b><br>This Modern Library edition combines two of the most important African American slave narratives--crucial works that each illuminate and inform the other. <p/> Frederick Douglass's <i>Narrative, </i>first published in 1845, is an enlightening and incendiary text. Born into slavery, Douglass became the preeminent spokesman for his people during his life; his narrative is an unparalleled account of the dehumanizing effects of slavery and Douglass's own triumph over it. <p/> Like Douglass, Harriet Jacobs was born into slavery, and in 1861 she published <i>Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, </i>now recognized as the most comprehensive antebellum slave narrative written by a woman. Jacobs's account broke the silence on the exploitation of African American female slaves, and it remains essential reading. <p/> <b>Includes a Modern Library Reading Group Guide</b><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Kwame Anthony Appiah </b>teaches at Princeton University. His works include <i>In My Father's House </i>and<i> Cosmopolitanism</i>.
