Gr 9 Up-This volume exposes students to a wealth of authors and titles beyond the work of Frederick Douglass. The narratives are introduced in a scholarly fashion and background information is provided for the excerpts of writings and previous studies. The book covers the origins of the narratives and their literary sources, and examines these works from a gender-specific angle, shedding light on the important contributions of writers like Harriet Jacobs. Finally, it explores modern authors who have been influenced by the genre, such as James Baldwin and Toni Morrison. A few black-and-white photos and reproductions are scattered throughout. A solid resource and worthy addition to any library.
