{"product_id":"bursting-bonds-william-pickens-9780268038854","title":"Bursting Bonds: The Autobiography of a New Negro","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1911, William Pickens published the first edition of his autobiography, \u003ci\u003eThe Heir of Slaves\u003c\/i\u003e, in which he writes about the importance of his education and recounts the experiences that led him into public life. The narrative discusses his family, the various teachers and mentors who helped guide him, and the incidents and methods by which he accomplished so much. Pickens's later works increasingly demanded the rights of full citizenship for African Americans. \u003ci\u003eBursting Bonds\u003c\/i\u003e (1923), the second edition of his autobiography, clearly demonstrates this development by the inclusion of five new chapters on racial tensions. This important work, now back in print, marks a turning point in the evolution of African American autobiography from defence to confrontation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Pickens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0268038856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780268038854\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Notre Dame Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 76\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.58h x 6.22w x 0.34d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2004 pg. 722","brand":"William Pickens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044289966335,"sku":"9780268038854","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d1c3b786-a19f-47e6-9413-12d162f99d9c.jpg?v=1684971997","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bursting-bonds-william-pickens-9780268038854","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
