My Bondage and My Freedom

By Frederick Douglass
My Bondage and My Freedom by Frederick Douglass digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

"My Bondage and My Freedom" is an autobiographical narrative written by Frederick Douglass, an African American who escaped from slavery and became a prominent abolitionist and social reformer in the 19th century. The book was first published in 1855 and serves as a sequel to Douglass's earlier work, "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave."

In "My Bondage and My Freedom," Douglass provides a detailed and insightful account of his life, from his early years in slavery to his escape to freedom. He reflects on the brutality of slavery, the challenges he faced in gaining his freedom, and the broader issues of racial injustice in American society.

The narrative explores not only Douglass's personal journey but also delves into his evolving thoughts on various social and political issues, including the abolitionist movement, women's rights, and the meaning of true freedom. Douglass's eloquent writing and powerful rhetoric make this work a significant contribution to American literature and a compelling historical document that sheds light on the harsh realities of slavery and the quest for liberty.
