À propos de ce livre audio
My Bondage and My Freedom is an autobiographical book written by Frederick Douglass, a former slave who became a prominent abolitionist and civil rights leader in the United States. The book, first published in 1855, describes Douglass's life as a slave in Maryland, his escape to freedom in the North, and his work as an anti-slavery lecturer and organizer.
In My Bondage and My Freedom, Douglass provides vivid details about the brutalities of slavery and the dehumanizing effects it had on slaves and slaveholders alike. He also discusses his own personal struggles with identity and freedom, as well as his advocacy for education and literacy as tools for achieving social and political equality.
Through his compelling narrative and powerful arguments, Douglass makes a compelling case against slavery and for the full humanity and rights of African Americans. My Bondage and My Freedom is a seminal work in American history and an enduring testament to the power of personal experience in shaping political and social change
