Jacobs' Incident In The Life Of A Slave Girl
[ send me this paper ]
Harriet Jacobs wrote the
story of her life of enslavement, mistreatment, confinement and eventual
freedom shortly after the end of the Civil War. This 5 page paper
argues that Incidents in the Life of A Slave Girl was intended to be
read as a slave narrative and, as such to provide a historical
documentation of what the reality of slavery entailed - at least for a
young woman. It is also a political manifesto in that it argues that
the realities of slavery were not much different from the Northern
social norms of segregation. No additional sources are listed.
