"My Bondage and My Freedom ," writes John Stauffer in his Foreword, "[is] a deep
meditation on the meaning of slavery, race, and freedom, and on the power of
faith and literacy, as well as a portrait of an individual and a nation a few
years before the Civil War." As his narrative unfolds, Frederick
Douglass-abolitionist, journalist, orator, and one of the most powerful voices
to emerge from the American civil rights movement-transforms himself from slave
to fugitive to reformer, leaving behind a legacy of social, intellectual, and
political thought. Set from the text of the 1855 first edition, this Modern
Library Paperback Classic includes Douglass's original Appendix, composed of
excerpts from the author's speeches as well as a letter he wrote to his former
master.
