Incidents In The Life Of A Slave Girl Seven Years Concealed (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169276451)

Incidents In The Life Of A Slave Girl Seven Years Concealed is a memoir written by Harriet Jacobs, an enslaved African American woman who escaped from slavery in the mid-19th century. The book chronicles Jacobs' life as a slave, her struggles to escape the brutal system of slavery, and her eventual freedom. Jacobs' story is a powerful and emotional account of the horrors of slavery, including the physical and sexual abuse that she and other enslaved women endured at the hands of their masters. The book also explores the psychological toll that slavery took on Jacobs, as she was forced to live in constant fear of being sold or separated from her children. After fleeing to the North, Jacobs spent seven years in hiding, living in a small attic space in her grandmother's house. During this time, she continued to fight for her freedom and worked tirelessly to reunite with her children, who were still enslaved in the South. Incidents In The Life Of A Slave Girl Seven Years Concealed is a groundbreaking work that sheds light on the experiences of enslaved women and the unique challenges they faced. Jacobs' story is a testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit and serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for freedom and equality.While I advised him to be good and forgiving I was not unconscious of the beam in my own eye. It was the very knowledge of my own shortcomings that urged me to retain, if possible, some sparks of my brother's God-given nature. I had not lived fourteen years in slavery for nothing. I had felt, seen, and heard enough, to read the characters, and question the motives, of those around me.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
